Director Statement

Slasher was created as a response to the lack of good quality horror flicks being made and produced during today's time. As a director, I wanted to focus my energies on creating a powerfully driven storyline which brings back true horror. With Slasher, its all about the built up and the ability to bring a fresh take to the slasher genre. The film itself is a roaster ride from start to finish, which includes a psychological plot twist that no one will see coming. It is my goal to provide the audience with thrills, chills, fear, suspense and bloody good fun.

Slasher stands out above the rest with its new take on breaking away from racial cliché character archetypes. Instead this film includes a predominantly African-American cast and sheds new light on the genre. Slasher treads new ideals and territory with a smart and intelligent script, talented cast, creative team and well rounded atmosphere. Slasher is by far one of the best slasher films in its genre to date and proclaims itself as a staple in true American horror.
