Slice Trailer: Horror Comedy Gold

The Slice trailer gave me R.L. Stine goosebumps that tickled my funny bone. A pizza shop sitting on top of a gateway to hell with hilarious characters helpless to it’s wrath. First of all – the cast, the cast, the cast! It’s like someone took a list of every person I would like to see in a flick together and made it so.

We then see the horrific outcomes of this portal terrorizing the likes of: Hannibal Buress (Broad City) one of the chillest, best-timed comedians, Joe Keery (Stranger Things) whom we know can hold a comedic role, Zazie Beetz who looks like she will be the badass slayer taking down demonic beasts – AND Chance the Rapper! An eclectic cast / band of characters to watch have witty rapport as they slice (eh eh) necks and get possessed. I am aaaaalllll about this. Some of the best horror films are comedies: Jennifer’s Body, Shaun of the Dead, Drag Me to Hell, What We Do in the Shadows. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like those, they are entertaining and side splitting, well made and clever. This movie looks like it is right up that alley and beyond, an amazing big screen directorial debut for Austin Vesely (also the writer).
