This compared to Stranger Things...
OK, first off: Stranger Things is a fantastic show. This, Slasher, is pretty weak and a mess. In fact, I skipped to the last episode just so I wouldn't have to watch the whole season.
But, much like Stranger Things seemed to pay homage to 80's sci-fi/adventure movies (ET, Close Encounters, Goonies, ect) this show seemed to do the same for horror/serial killer films (Seven, Scream, Halloween).
...Only not done very well.
