Press Reviews

"Screaming. Blood. Impalements. Meat hooks. Electric drills. Objectified sexy women. Crazy mother in wheelchair. Whaddya expect? It's a slasher movie."

— Philadelphia Inquirer

"...Slasher elicits laughs by intentionally indulging in everything that makes horror films atrociously unentertaining."

— Broad Street Review

"Moore manages to bring a plethora of contemporary themes into the play, from feminism to militant pro-life groups to an insider's view of the horror-movie genre...It's a job well done!"

— San Francisco Examiner
