I have an opinion: "Slasher" is better than "American Horror Story."
Maybe that's not so controversial to say in 2023, when the popular horror anthology series created by Ryan Murphy hasn't had a good season in almost five years, and hasn't had a great one in over 10. "AHS" premiered in 2011, the same year that the sci-fi/technology-run-amok anthology series "Black Mirror" premiered. Curiously, though "Black Mirror" was just as popular, and was covered as furiously as "AHS" was in its prime, its influence on subsequent sci-fi visions seems to have jumped mediums to film. One can imagine pressing play on a new season of "Black Mirror" and watching films like "Ex-Machina," "The Circle," and "Vivarium," were a few minutes shaved off each.
"AHS," however, spawned a veritable renaissance in horror anthology series, from HBO's "Room 104," to Hulu's "Castle Rock," to Syfy's "Channel Zero." Before "AHS," you'd have to...

The latest chapter of Slasher is well underway.
On Slasher: Ripper Episode 3, Basil (Eric McCormack) is on a mission to unmask the Widow.
In doing so, he realizes that someone from his rich inner circle might be responsible.
If the Widow taught us anything in the first two episodes of this Shudder and AMC+ drama, they are ready to dole out justice towards the elite.
As a result, people are dropping like flies, and it looks like Basil and his powerful friends are harboring a fateful secret about an event several years before.
In an exclusive clip shared with TV Fanatic, we see the extent Basil is willing to go to get answers.
He's not the nicest person, but he strikes me as the kind of person who will find answers easier than some other characters.
With power and influence, it's easier to get things done, but in the Slasher sandbox,...

We're only a day away from the two-episode premiere of Slasher: Ripper on Shudder and AMC+, and not only do we have an exclusive clip just for Daily Dead readers, but director Adam MacDonald (Pyewacket) provided us with some behind-the-scenes details!
Synopsis: "Slasher: Ripper takes the franchise back in time to the late 19th century and follows Basil Garvey (McCormack), a charismatic tycoon whose success is only rivaled by his ruthlessness, as he oversees a city on the cusp of a new century, and a social upheaval that will see its streets run red with blood. There’s a killer stalking the mean streets, but instead of targeting the poor and downtrodden like Jack the Ripper, The Widow is meting out justice against the rich and powerful. The only person standing in the way of this killer is the newly promoted detective, Kenneth Rijkers, whose ironclad belief in justice may...

The Netflix series Ginny & Georgia has found immense success. The plot is about a single mother trying to give her two children a good life. However, the show soon reveals that Georgia has a darker side.
Her daughter, Ginny, has seen that side and is now aware that her mother is a murderer. Georgia only did what she did to protect her children, and her protective nature led to another’s death. However, the character’s death scene was shocking to both viewers and the cast.

Netflix fans are still obsessing over Ginny & Georgia Season 2. The acclaimed series follows mother/daughter duo Georgia (Brianne Howey) and Ginny (Antonia Gentry) as they settle into a new town and try to form a new life for themselves.
Season 1 served as an introduction to the pair. However, in season 2, Ginny underwent a major transformation.

Though mental health is a much-discussed topic, TV rarely gets it right, especially when unpacking teens’ mental health. However, in season 2, Ginny & Georgia did a fantastic job of addressing some of the things that Ginny struggles with.
“I admire Ginny’s vulnerability this season,” Gentry told Tudum. “Georgia has these vulnerable moments, but it’s very much hidden behind this big grandiose persona that she uses as a defense mechanism.

Ginny & Georgia has dominated the Netflix charts since the second season debuted. Set in Wellsbury, Massachusetts, the drama series follows 31-year-old Georgia (Brianne Howey) and her 16-year-old daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) as they navigate their relationship and their personal lives.
The series revealed so much in season 2, but who is Mary?

Fans learned a lot more about Georgia’s past this season, which also informs the way she examines her life and how she parents her children.
“Georgia’s worldview is oddly limited for a woman with all these experiences that are contained, unfortunately, in this trauma, this grief,” Howey told Tudum. “It’s hard for her to open her worldview and see and imagine that Ginny has all of these other thoughts, opinions, feelings, and beliefs.

There's a sibling duo hiding within the "Ginny & Georgia" cast. As many fans of the Netflix series have just discovered, the actors who play Joe and Padma - Raymond and Rebecca Ablack, respectively - are brother and sister in real life. Their characters only share one scene in the first season, but once Padma joins Ginny (Antonia Gentry) as an employee at Joe's Blue Farm Café in season two, their resemblance becomes more and more obvious by the episode.
Viewers learn way more about Joe and Padma individually as their characters develop in the show's latest installment. Joe forms a friendship-turned-romantic-fling with Cynthia (Sabrina Grdevich), who often visits Blue Farm to drink wine and escape thoughts of her sick husband. Despite the brief hookup, Joe's soft spot for Georgia (Brianne Howey) remains constant, and it seems the feeling was mutual at one point when he confronts...

“Ginny & Georgia” Season 2 has it all: Troubled teens, rushed nuptials, bad exes, nonviolent murders (!), and so much more. The latest installment of this mother-daughter show, which debuted this week, is part of an ongoing trend with Netflix originals: series with heaps of drama, gasp-worthy twists, and genre-jumping storylines. They are soap operas in all but name, and they’ve become critical to Netflix’s viewership success.
Like the soap operas of yore, these shows are ostensibly targeted at women; mothers and daughters or adolescents or adult friends and the like. Viewers can expect a level of kitsch and below-average reviews even with high audience satisfaction. Most are dramas (“Emily in Paris” is just dramatic), with heavy-handed emotional beats hiding behind camera quality and picture resolution. Netflix has found one of its niches with compulsively watchable soap-y shows, where the stakes are never too high and romantic fulfillment is only one “watch next episode” away.

Netflix users are not happy about an “outrageous” moment in the new season of Ginny and Georgia.
The series following 15-year-old Ginny (Antonia Gentry), and her relationship with her mother Georgia (Brianne Howey) after they move to a small town in New England, has returned for a second seaon following a successful run in February 2021.
However, viewers aren’t so sure about one particular storyline choice and have been highlighting the scene, which occurs at the end of episode five, on social media.
It features a kiss between two formerly disparate characters: Blue Farm Café owner Joe, played by Raymond Ablack, and Sabrina Grdevich’s character Cynthia.
Viewers aren’t happy for two reasons – firstly, because they were hoping Joe might have a romance with Georgia, and secondly, because they don’t feel these two characters have much chemistry.
Twitter user @EvaNadya9 surmised, “I guess they decided to put two broken hearts together but yeah.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Ginny & Georgia Season 2, Episodes 1-10.] Ginny & Georgia‘s second season is filled with big moments for the titular duo as they go through a shared journey as well as separate challenges. Like Season 1, this latest chapter of Netflix‘s drama ends things on a cliffhanger, leaving fans with plenty of burning questions. Fret not though because we caught up with showrunner Debra J. Fisher who dished on Season 2’s biggest twists and turns and offered input on where the show could go next should Ginny & Georgia be back for Season 3. Below, she’s breaking down some of the questions viewers may have been left with after Season 2’s shocking ending in which Georgia (Brianne Howey) was arrested for the murder of Cynthia’s (Sabrina Grdevich) husband at her wedding to Mayor Paul Randolph (Scott Porter), as well as Ginny’s (Antonia Gentry) outlook after a tumultuous journey personally and romantically.

The Slasher franchise has had multiple homes in its relatively short lifespan, and the fourth chapter, titled Flesh & Blood, is set to debut in its new home on Shudder August 12.
While the new chapter dials up the gore, the plot does not land as well as it should.
Shifting the action to an island is very reminiscent of Harper's Island, which was much more watchable than what we're getting here with Slasher Flesh & Blood.
When I initially watched the trailer, it gave me Succession meets Scream vibes, and while the series does manage that blend to some extent, the first four episodes are not the easiest to watch.
The hook is definitely there: A family arrives on a secluded island where old wounds and competitive rivalries come to light when the family realizes a deranged killer is on the island, intent on killing them one by one.

The Slasher franchise is evolving.
The latest chapter in the thrilling anthology is headed to Shudder, and we have our first deadly look.
Premiering August 12 on Shudder, Slasher: Flesh & Blood follows a wealthy but dysfunctional family that gathers for a reunion on a secluded island only to learn they’ll be pitted against one another in a cruel game of life and death, all while being stalked by a mysterious masked killer.
Nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe as the tension- and the body count- ratchets up.
As with the past installments of the series, Slasher: Flesh & Blood will combine elements of traditional murder mystery with the intense horror and bold kills that audiences have come to expect.
The trailer is perfect, showing a family invited to the island with the aim of winning deadly games to inherit the family fortune.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil star Tyler Labine may have traded in the Hillbilly dungarees for a polo shirt and cargo shorts, but the film’s spirit is alive and well in Cottage Country, a witty woodland comedy horror with more than its own share of laughs. Look, stop reading this and go watch it already. Its twisty, constantly churning story is best viewed unspoiled.
Still reading? Well, if you insist. Taking off to the family holiday home for a week away from work, mild-mannered desk jockey Todd (Labine) and fiancee-to-be Cammie (Malin Akerman) don’t count upon the surprise appearance of his obnoxious brother Salinger (Dan Petronijevic) and horrible girlfriend Masha (Lucy Punch).

I was doing what many customers of Netflix do, browsing the catalogue of films on offer with a far-away look in my eye, unable to choose what to watch as the evening got later and later. As a fan of Tyler Labine from his work in Tucker and Dale versus Evil, I decided to give this movie a shot.
Also starring Malin Akerman (27 Dresses, Rock of Ages), Cottage Country is a comedy movie with elements of thriller, horror and romance, and is directed by Peter Wellington, who, from what I can tell, has only really been responsible for a few television movies, and random episodes of television shows I know little to nothing about.

Tyler Labine returns for more horrific laughs in new murderous comedy 'Cottage Country'. The 'Tucker and Dale vs Evil' star plays Todd in the Peter Wellington helmed flick who heads to the country for a quiet getaway but his peaceful family vacation soon takes a bloody turn when his irritating brother turns up and soon after gets the chop...literally. Labine is joined by Brit actress Lucy Punch ('Hot Fuzz'), Benjamin Ayres, Sabrina Grdevich and the stunning Malin Akerman -below ('Watchmen') and the new sales trailer plus artwork have arrived to begin its teasing trails towards theatres sometime in 2013....

An auspicious feature debut demonstrating its helmer's ability to sustain an intense but understated mood, Andrew Currie's "Mile Zero" plows familiar ground in an unfamiliar way. The tale of a separated father's increasingly desperate attempts to maintain control of his young son, the Canadian film is an engrossing, if at times repetitive, low-key thriller featuring a riveting performance by Michael Riley in the lead role. Although too downbeat to attract commercial interest, it should do well on the festival circuit and will serve as an impressive calling card. It recently received its U.S. premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.
The film revolves around Derek Ridley (Riley), a loving but pathetic man still enamored of his wife despite the fact that she has hooked up with another guy. Frantically trying to regain control of his family, Derek resorts to increasingly desperate attempts to maintain his presence, such as showing up unexpectedly at his former home to present his ex with breakfast in bed, going through her garbage and surreptitiously videotaping his young son's bedroom. When Derek impulsively decides to kidnap his young son and transport him to the wilderness, the film takes a much darker tone, with the young son finally realizing the extent of his father's mental disintegration.
At first, Derek is such a likable character that one can't help but feel sympathy for him. Michael Melski's clever screenplay slowly and methodically illustrates, however, just how far around the bend Derek has gone, and the slow buildup yields satisfying dramatic results, with only the sometimes confusing time shifts in the story's chronology detracting from the overall impact.
Riley delivers a complex, fascinating performance as the tortured hero, allowing the audience to identify fully with his character even at his most irrational. Connor Widdows is equally impressive as the increasingly frightened child, and Sabrina Grdevich is properly sympathetic as the aggrieved ex. Technical credits are first-rate, with particularly excellent contributions from Don Macdonald's guitar music score and Robert Aschmann's evocative cinematography.
