One Must Fall
A horror-comedy slasher set in the '80s about a woman wrongfully fired from her office job and forced to take on a temporary job on a crime scene clean-up crew. With a maniacal serial killer on the loose leaving them lots of work, did he ever leave the scene of the crime?
Why it matters
One Must Fall delivers a blood-soaked blend of '80s slasher thrills and dark workplace comedy with a grime-covered twist.
- Nostalgic yet fresh: nails the neon-soaked aesthetic and synth score that scream decade authenticity without feeling derivative.
- Centers on a rare horror heroine battling not just a killer but toxic office culture—feminist slasher with bite.
- Crime scene cleanup as a gritty, visceral backdrop amps up the body horror and practical gore effects.
- Perfect for fans of late-'70s/early-'80s slashers craving humor that’s as sharp as the killer’s blade.
