Slasher is a Canadian horror series built around a small town, an old crime and a new run of killings that seem to answer it. Blending drama, horror and mystery in episodes of roughly forty-six minutes, it is listed in the K-Time catalogue as a 2021 title and is available with both a Persian dub and Persian subtitles.
What is Slasher about?
Sarah Bennett was a child when her parents were murdered in Waterbury by a figure the town came to call The Executioner. Three decades later she moves back to that quiet community with her husband, Dylan, hoping to settle into an ordinary life in the place where her family history began. Instead, a fresh wave of brutal murders breaks out, and each one appears to be staged around one of the seven deadly sins. Sarah finds herself pulled to the centre of the case, and the question of how the present killings connect to the crime that shaped her childhood drives the story forward, one episode at a time.
About the cast
The ensemble named in the catalogue includes Jeananne Goossen, Sydney Meyer, Paula Brancati, Christopher Jacot, Jefferson Brown, Patrice Goodman, Sabrina Grdevich and David Cronenberg. Aaron Martin is the credited director.
Context & significance
The slasher label points to a long tradition in horror: a masked or unseen attacker, a closed community, and a mounting list of victims. This series takes that framework and stretches it across a season-length story, trading the compact running time of a feature for serialized storytelling in which clues, suspects and motives accumulate over many episodes. Its mystery element is as prominent as its horror, since viewers are invited to weigh each new death against what is known about the original crime. The seven deadly sins give the killings a structure, with each sin offering a theme for an episode or a stretch of the plot. The series contains graphic violence and sustained tension, so it is suited to adult viewers who are comfortable with the genre.
