Psychology student Erin has had enough with her studies so she and her friends, Julie and Danny, decide to spend a weekend in the woods far from their everyday lives. Gathering up several more friends, the group heads into the forest. But their carefree weekend quickly goes downhill when an unexpected stranger arrives and their fun turns into a nightmarish race for survival.
Alone, bloodied and hunted, the group’s friendship is pit to the test as secrets from their pasts begin to darken the present.
Slasher is Frank W. Montag’s omage to the masked serial killer genre. The trailer is in German but, quite frankly, that really doesn’t matter.
