‘Slapface’ – One of Us Review
Join the One of Us crew as they review the latest horror release from Shudder – Slapface.
Nothing says love like slapping someone in the face as hard as you can, right? I mean it’s not like it’s a sign of generational violence, or likely to provoke a shadowy witch(?) to murder a bunch of people or anything, is it? The Screener Squad examines those very relationship dynamics in the new Shudder release, Slapface, written and directed by Jeremiah Kipp.
Lucas, lonely, traumatized, and still grieving the death of his mother, wanders the woods near the home he shares with his brother and guardian, Tom, who seems unsuited to being responsible for the care and well-being of a minor. He frequently visits a nearby abandoned institution, to escape his brother, as well as a set of twin bullies whose merciless tormenting he tolerates because he’s infatuated with their hanger-on, Moriah.
During his excursions, Lucas discovers a sort of urban (rural?) legendary creature with whom he develops a tenuous friendship.
The Slapface Review
Given the elements and because it’s a Shudder movie, things can only go badly for everyone involved. Wright, Tessa, Marcos, and Lewayne discuss just how badly things go, as well as what works in this film and what doesn’t. And whether or not suggesting a game of Slapface is a suitable icebreaker in a budding young relationship.
