Granted, from the movie's cover/poster alone, then it was pretty obvious that this was not going to be spectacular movie experience. But on the odd chance that "Slayed" might actually be one of those horror movies that are so bad that they are actually enjoyable, then I sat down to watch this 2020 horror from writer Jim Klock.
And true enough, "Slayed" wasn't exactly top notch entertainment. Sure, the movie was low budget, but it actually had a decent enough production value to it, which helped make the movie sort of semi-watchable. But the storyline just didn't offer much of any enjoyment for me, so this movie ended up being a bit of a drag and a bore.
The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie it is and the movie's budget. But hey, at least it appeared like the people starring in the movie had a blast working on the project. But from a viewer's aspect, then the characters in the movie were way too bland and the dialogue was just somewhat stagnant.
As for "Slayed" being a horror movie, well... It might be stretching it a bit; either that, or I am just too much of a seasoned veteran to the horror genre. Sure, if you are a newcomer to the horror genre, then I believe that there would be some elements of horror to "Slayed". But for someone having grown up on horror movies and spent the last 35+ years watching horror movie then "Slayed" just didn't have the ingredients.
Provided that you make it through "Slayed" the first time around, I highly doubt that you'll ever find yourself returning to watch this 2020 horror movie a second time. Why? Well, simply because the movie just doesn't have the contents to support more than a single viewing.
My rating of "Slayed" lands on a less than mediocre three out of ten stars. I wasn't entertained by this movie from directors Jim Klock and Mike Capozzi.
