L.A. Slasher

2015 ·1h 26m · ★ 4.8 (48)

Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them. A biting, social satire about reality TV and the glorification of people who are famous for simply being famous, "L.A. Slasher" explores why it has become acceptable and even admirable for people to become influential and wealthy based on no merit or talent - purely through notoriety achieved through shameful behavior.

Why it matters

A neon-soaked slasher satire that skewers reality TV culture with a blade as sharp as its social critique.

  • A rare horror flick that doubles as a biting commentary on celebrity obsession and media voyeurism.
  • Lean, punchy kills mixed with a glossy, L.A. aesthetic that captures our selfie-obsessed age’s darkest underbelly.
  • Perfect for fans of genre hybrids who want their gore served with a side of cultural indictment — think *Scream* meets *The Social Network*.
  • Not flawless—the satire sometimes stumbles under its own ambition—but its unsettling questions about fame’s price linger long after the credits roll.
