Well, the 2022 horror comedy "Slayers" definitely had potential to be something good. And I will say that I was initially intrigued by the movie's synopsis and also the fact that Thomas Jane was in the movie. Needless to say that I had to sit down and watch the movie and have my curiosity sated.
And while the concept for "Slayers" was good, then writers Zack Imbrogno and K. Asher Levin went a little bit overboard here, and the movie went from being a fun and enjoyable horror comedy to somewhat of a farce. The storyline just drowned away in the constant attempts from writers Zack Imbrogno and K. Asher Levin to put in as much crazy stuff as possible.
It was a shame that the writers went overboard with mutating this movie into something rather grotesque, because it took away from the enjoyment of the movie. I have to say that "Slayers" turned out to be quite something else than what I had anticipated.
They had a good cast ensemble for the movie, with the likes of Thomas Jane, Malin Akerman and others. However, the actors and actresses were struggling with having a subpar script to work with here.
Visually then "Slayers" was a good movie, and that at least counted for something.
While I sat through the entire 88 minutes that the movie ran for, I was only mildly entertained. It is not a horror comedy that I am going to be recommending to people, nor is it a horror comedy that I will ever return to watch a second time.
My rating of director K. Asher Levin's 2022 horror comedy "Slayers" lands on a four out of ten stars.
