Slasher

About This Movie

Slasher is this intriguing documentary from John Landis that dives into the world of shady used car salesmen. You know the type—smooth talkers with questionable ethics, luring folks into buying clunkers. It has this gritty, raw atmosphere that really captures the desperation and charm of the automotive underbelly. The pacing feels deliberately slow at times, allowing you to soak in each character's quirks and moral ambiguities. The performances feel so genuine, you almost forget you’re watching a documentary. It’s distinct in its focus on the human element, showcasing how far some will go to make a sale. There’s a dark humor here, too, making it both uncomfortable and oddly fascinating.
