Slapface (2021) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder after Edward Delgado's glowing review. The storyline follows an older brother raising his younger brother after tragically losing his parents. The younger brother is a bit of an outcast and researches an old building on a dare and finds a spirit that resides in the woods. The spirit starts a killing spree killing anyone who is remotely mean to the kid until what's left of the family comes at risk and the boy will have to try and find a way to intervene.
This movie is directed by Jeremiah Kipp (Black Wake) and stars August Maturo (The Nun), Mike Manning (Teen Wolf), Libe Barer (I See You), Mirabelle Lee (The Blacklist), Bianca D'Ambrosio (Call Jane) and Dan Hedaya (The Usual Suspects).
This is one of those movies with a lot of potential but comes up way short. The characters are actually pretty good as are the circumstances for a horror worthwhile movie. Unfortunately despite the good setup the kill scenes are lacking causing all the horror scenes to fall flat. The little boy's girlfriend/relationship was also annoying making the poor horror execution even more frustrating.
Overall this is a new horror film worth skipping. I would score this a 2/10.
