Critics Consensus

A slim-cut slice of bizarre horror, Slaxx effectively balances quirk with gore -- and has the good sense to get out before its oddball premise starts showing its seams.

Cody Corrall

Chicago Reader

Anyone who has worked in retail will surely relate to the film's beleaguered protagonists, paid too little and pushed to the brink in order to uphold the farce of capitalism.

Austin Chronicle

It may stumble into heavy-handed moralizing around the checkout, but Slaxx is definitely a good look.

Rated: 3/5

An interesting premise... and the film does have fun with it.

Gonzo enough to work, which is quite a feat for a film about a killer pair of pants.

Nashville Scene

At its best, Slaxx is The Mangler for the 2020s - a possession narrative playing out as a microcosm of socioeconomic warfare.

Unapologetically silly but surprisingly sharp, both in its sense of humor and its larger thematic ideas.

Rated: 3.5 / 5

The most surprising thing to me is that I watched it all .... and enjoyed it. Yes it is absolute nonsense, especially the dancing but cleverly builds an instant dislike of the main characters co-workers that draws you into their impending demise.

Doesn’t take itself too seriously and it also doesn’t overstay its welcome with its 77 minute runtime. If you’re looking for a horror comedy with a surprising amount of blood, there’s way worse you can do.

Un concept intéressant qui dénonce des faits malheureusement bien réels. Cependant le jeu d'acteur qui laisse à désirer ainsi que le manque de tension dans les scènes qui devraient en avoir rende le film un peu ennuyant.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Terrible, despite the criticism it tries to convey, there is no way to take this film seriously

The only redeeming thing was the effects. A message about child labour with a 13 year old who fell into a grinder, who wants revenge because... She fell by her own fault? Kids in the US can do farm work at 12. If you're going to go that route, make them 6 or something.

Plot line makes no sense. The comedy doesn't really land. Could have been better.
