Following its world premiere at Fantasia, and ahead of its March 18th release on Shudder, Elza Kephart's horror comedy Slaxx is featured in a new trailer that showcases the film's killer pair of possessed jeans (making this movie seem like a great double feature pairing with Peter Strickland's killer dress film, In Fabric).
"A possessed pair of jeans is brought to life to punish the unscrupulous practices of a trendy clothing company. Shipped to the company’s flagship store, Slaxx proceeds to wreak carnage on staff locked in overnight to set up the new collection.
Starring Romane Denis (Slut in a Good Way), Brett Donahue (Private Eyes), Sehar Bhojani (The Handmaid’s Tale), and Stephen Bogaert (The Umbrella Academy).
The third feature from Canadian director Elza Kephart (Go In The Wilderness, Graveyard Alive), SLAXX is co-written by Kephart and Patricia Gomez (Graveyard Alive), and produced by Gomez alongside Anne-Marie Gélinas (Turbo Kid, Radius), and executive produced by Shaked Berenson (Turbo Kid, Entertainment).
Blood Brothers FX, the special effects company behind Turbo Kid, Blood Quantum, and Ravenous, brought the unique titular villain to life, and Canadian sustainable and premium denim brand Naked & Famous designed and manufactured the jeans.
SLAXX is an EMAFilms and Horror Collective production.
SLAXX will stream exclusively to Shudder on March 18th in the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as via the Shudder offering within the AMC+ bundle where available.
