Slash/Back (Canada, 2022)

Published: Oct. 27, 2022, 9:30 a.m.

When aliens attack, an Indigenous hamlet just beneath the arctic circle seems like the perfect place to body snatch. But nestled between the stunning mountains and frigid waters are a rag-tag squad of teen girls armed with weapons and killer gateway horror knowledge. This week, we're joined by a special 14-year-old guest to review a film made by, of and for the native tribes of Nunavut. Also - an upcoming cannibal movie features the worst phony American accent of all time and Anna and The Apocalypse makes drops on Shudder.
