SLASHENING:THE FINAL BEGINNING, written and directed by Troma’s latest protege Brandon Bassham (writer/director THE SLASHENING, writer #SHAKESPEARESSHITSTORM) . Set 5 years after the events of the previous film, 22-year-old Madison Santangeli moves to Brooklyn to start a new life in the wake of her father’s suicide, when a familiar masked killer starts targeting the people around her. Is it coincidence or is someone sending a message?
 
Equal parts laughs and gore, this no-holds-barred slasher comedy delightfully satirizes millennials and modern culture while still bringing the shocking kills and gross out thrills.
