Fast Fashion Gets Its Revenge in Killer Pants Horror-ComedySlaxx

That ’s right : Slaxx is about a pair of uber - stylish jeans that become sentient and homicidal . You ’d be hard - pressed to find a good crotchet for what ’s ultimately acautionary taleabout the danger offast fashion — or a movie that explores those themes with suchdeadpan humorand allegiance to theatrical splatter .

The integral movie , which was co - written and directed by Elza Kephart and run away just 77 proceedings without any wasted space , takes position in the same location : a Canadian Cotton Clothes fund , which has kind of an American Apparel - ish “ overprice fundamentals ” aesthetic . Everyone who do work there is catty to each other , but they all buy into CCC ’s cult - same collective mindset , where the clothing is proudly advertisedas being bonnie deal , sweatshop - free , completely organic , non - GMO , etc . burnished - eyed Modern hire Libby ( Romaine Denis ) record up for her first shift key just as CCC is about to unveil its latest launch : “ Super Shapers ” jeans , gas as having the near - magic ability to make everybody ’s cigaret reckon perfect in them , no matter their sizing .

Turns out there is something magical about the blue jean , but not in a flattering mode . “ Killer jeans ” is confessedly a cockamamie conception — and it ’s not the first time in recent memory board we ’ve had a murderous clothing token ; rememberIn Fabric?—but it works because the cast is so attached , the setting so contained , the motive behind the pants ’ rampage so amazingly worthy ( if a fiddling obvious ) , and the special effects ( who knew bodiless pant could be so expressive … and terrifying ? ) so fondly rendered .

As Libby , Denis gets the only matter resembling a eccentric arc as she navigates her new workplace . Her enthusiasm before long morphs into something mode less positive once she satisfy her coworkers — an unwelcoming mathematical group very tender of passive - strong-growing snarking through their earpieces — and then even less positive once mass set out turn up awfully mutilated . The oily store manager , Craig ( Brett Donahue ) , who ’s secretly mention to as “ Robot King ” by his underlings , is so focused on the Super Shapers launching — which has the append horror - trope line of locking everyone into the store overnight while they stock the shelf — that he ’s loath to do anything other than stash the bloody corpses of his employee so they do n’t draw attending away from the upshot , or hurt his chances at landing a big publicity .

Slaxx also has a fun minute satirize societal media influencers , and include a pretty delightful Bollywood reference that go along its last human activity from just being a full - on gorefest — not that we ’d object to that . It must be say that Slaxx add up up with some marvelously originative demonstrations of just how a pair of piss - off pants might take down a human victim .

Watching those roughshod , animated pant in military action is really the principal cause to look out Slaxx . We all screw that fast fashion come from an subtle place , and any corporate culture that tries to brainwash its employee and customers into buying into catchword like “ make a respectable tomorrow today ” ( as CCC does , repeatedly ) is immediately not to be hope . But if you ’re looking for a tight - pace , fun , occasionally extremely gross horror - comedy withsome social commentarytucked in behind all the severed torsos and spurting limbs — Slaxx definitely fits the bill .

Slaxx get in on Shudder March 18 .
