question_text: who is the killer in slasher guilty party

text: Slasher (TV series)

text: Background[edit]

text: Slasher employs a season-long anthology format, with an overarching mystery storyline that will be resolved upon the season's conclusion.[7] Aaron Martin, the series' creator/producer, acknowledged gaining inspiration for the format from American Horror Story, stating that, should Slasher have subsequent seasons, the AHS style of self-contained storylines would be used along with, ideally, the reliance on as many actors from previous seasons as possible to portray brand new roles.[8]

text: Martin aims to tell "a modern-day monster story" in Slasher, combining three of his favorite genres: The contemporary murder mystery (a la Broadchurch),[9] the works of Agatha Christie (one of Martin's favorite crime writers), and the classic slasher films he grew up with.[10] In terms of the latter, Martin has specifically cited the influences of Halloween and It Follows in Slasher's use of a mysterious singular embodiment that is responsible for a series of killings. Not wanting to have the show's killer be "a mythological creature" (as he feels the killers in most slasher films do not have much mystery surrounding them), Martin also uses elements of the traditional whodunit in Slasher: The show's characters, many of whom have mysterious backgrounds — and their own reasons for possibly being the killer — are featured, explored, and eliminated from consideration, one by one (either through death or the natural deductive process), until the "all too human" killer and their motivations for their actions are revealed.[8]

text: Plot[edit]

text: Season 1: The Executioner (2016)[edit]

text: Slasher's 8-episode first season centers around Sarah Bennett who, with husband Dylan, moves back to the town of her birth, Waterbury (a fictional town in Canada),[11] and into her parents' former home. It was in that house on Halloween Night 1988 where both of her parents, Bryan and Rachel, were murdered. Rachel was pregnant with Sarah at the time of her murder, with police discovering the killer holding Rachel's newborn baby after the slayings.[7] Sarah's return to Waterbury is greeted with the start of a series of copycat murders, all appearing to be at the hands of "The Executioner".[12]

text: Seeking insight on her sightings of "The Executioner" and the slayings he or she has committed, Sarah has paid visits to her parents' imprisoned murderer, Tom Winston. Tom suggests to Sarah that though most of Waterbury's residents project a veneer of friendship, innocence, and self-righteousness, many of them harbor dark secrets, including her late parents. During these conversations, Tom expresses thoughts on what is a common theme of Slasher's first season — the seven deadly sins. Gaining information from Sarah on the victims' backgrounds and the nature of their deaths, Tom provides suggestions as to what sin the victims may have violated; Sarah would begin to employ this approach herself without Tom's assistance in later episodes.

text: Just as Tom declared himself "the Lord's messenger" in a 1988 police interrogation video after murdering Sarah's parents (seen in Episode 1), he believes in the present day that the new Executioner has become a self-appointed deliverer of "Biblical" punishment towards those he or she believes have committed one of the seven deadly sins in their past, employing methods that are apropos to the individual natures of the deadly sins. Future victim Alison Sutherland would get The Executioner to admit this in their Episode 5 interview: Alison asks why The Executioner would be as much a sinner as everyone else and violate one of God's commandments to not kill; The Executioner counters that God only commanded not to murder the innocent, and that his/her victims are not innocent. Tom has suggested to Sarah, in Episode 3, that The Executioner him/herself has committed a deadly sin of their own, being blinded by pride ("the greatest of sins").[13]

text: The police chief is found harboring Ariel, a missing teenager that he kidnapped, and a child they had together, in a enclosed locked room in his basement. Sarah's grandmother accidentally put her best friend in a coma by dropping a cinder block on her head (in fact, she was aiming for the girl sitting next to her best friend; the boy who had gotten Sarah's grandmother pregnant as a teenager was taking this girl to their high school prom). Bryan and Rachel (Sarah's parents) were cuckolding multiple men and video taping them into service to support them, including Tom Winston. Tom decided to kill Bryan and Rachel after falling in love with Rachel and being blackmailed, but saved Sarah after Rachel told him Sarah was actually his and not her husband's.

text: Eventually, it's revealed that the deputy Cam is the Executioner, suffering under an abusive mother whom he pushed down the stairs, killing her. Cam's father, the town priest, discovered that Cam was the Executioner, and Cam killed him as well. After finding her father's body parts in his home, Sarah kills Cam with a machete.

text: Season 2: Guilty Party (2017)[edit]

text: Slasher's 8-episode second season centers around a horrific secret that a group of former summer camp counselors have buried long ago. Due to a changing circumstance, they must return to their resort in the dead of winter to retrieve the body of Talvinder, whom they murdered while they were camp counsellors, five years earlier. They get surprised when they can't find the body at the campsite. Later, the group start dying one by one at the hands of a mysterious person wearing a parka, which also alerts the second group of counselors at the resort.

text: Eventually, it's revealed that Judith is the killer, and another character, Wren, is actually Owen "Wren" Turnbull, her son who committed suicide after being framed for Talvinder's murder, and is a figment of Judith's imagination. Owen wrote a letter to his mother, asking her to get justice for him before hanging himself. Judith killed several members of the commune for their complicity after the fact, as Antoine discovered Talvinder's body and hid it to avoid jeopardizing a real estate deal. Dawn and Keira are the only ones to escape her wrath and the former finally turns herself in for her crime during the epilogue. Judith can be seen watching them along with the hallucination of Owen, who says they'll be waiting for Dawn after she is released from prison.

text:
Melinda Shankar as Talvinder Gill: A new camp counselor whose murder drives the events of Guilty Party. A manipulative girl, she played on the other counselors kindness, setting up Susan as a destructive hater and having sex with Peter. A summer outing for her and five other counselors turns out to be a trap, as the other five have arranged for her to stand 'trial' for her actions. The trial goes wrong, however, leading the other campers to believe she is dead only to regain consciousness as her body is about to be hidden. Faced with the possibility of being arrested for her assault, the group argues about what to do with her until Andi snaps and kills her with a rock. 5 years later, the counselors have to return to retrieve and destroy her body as a resort is going to be built and the construction might unearth it. However, despite her death and the hiding of her body resulting in multiple murders, the killer is not doing it because they are avenging Talvinder's death.
Kaitlyn Leeb as Susan Lam: A mother and wife, once Andi and Dawn's friend. 5 years ago, when Talvinder was the newest camp counselor, she was distrustful of her, believing her to be a bad person. After rejecting her attempt at seduction and telling her that she saw right through her, Talvinder trashed the camp carnival booth they had been working on and accused Susan of doing it, setting Dawn against her. Angry, Susan showed Andi that Talvinder was a faker by taking her to where she and Peter were having sex in the woods, promising the distraught Andi that she would figure out a way to make Talvinder pay. She was the one to come up with the trial idea that went bad when Talvinder was hurt and thought to be dead, panicking when Talvinder was found to be dead and she ran away, claiming no wrong doing occurred. After the counselor group is discovered to have access to a gun and separated from the commune group, she leaves the cabin and is caught by the killer, her eyes gouged out with a broken pipe and her neck snapped.
Rebecca Liddiard as Andi Criss: Peter's ex-girlfriend. 5 years ago, when Talvinder was the newest camp counselor, Peter cheated on Andi with Talvinder. When the attempt to scare Talvinder went wrong and she was severely injured, while the other counselors were arguing what to do with her, Talvinder called out to Peter that she loved him, angering Andi and causing her to pick up a rock and kill Talvinder. In the present, she argues with Peter about going to the police and after talking with Mark, decides to return to the rocks where Talivinder's body disappeared, only to see her skeletal corpse hanging from the trees and get knocked out. She is tied to the ground by stakes and her throat is sliced open, bleeding out onto the snow.
Dean McDermott as Alan Haight
Jefferson Brown as Gene: The outfitter and supply deliverer for the commune. He drives the former counselors up to the commune, and becomes suspicious of their desire to visit the former camp in the dead of winter, deciding to stay over the weekend to keep an eye on the newcomers. He is the first to die in the present, as when he decides to visit the communes sauna, he is surprised by a person in a concealing parka and sliced from his stomach downward with a chainsaw.
Kyle Buchanan as Simon
Simu Liu as Luke: Susan's kind and somewhat oblivious husband. He truly loves his wife, but fails to notice her stress about interacting with her old counselor friends, once two years prior when Andi approached on the street and in the present when she is hesitating to go up to the commune.
Sophia Walker as Megan: An unlucky hiker. Going on a trek she typically took with a friend who passed away in memoriam of her, she came to the commune to seek shelter when a blizzard is expected. Renee, hardened by the loss of Antoine, is immediately suspicious of her and refuses to listen to reason, striking her with a statue and giving her a concussion. After she learns of the situation at hand, she agrees to attempt a hike down the mountain to the road for help, but only if the blizzard is over by morning. However, that night she suffers a psychotic break, wildly hallucinating and vomiting before falling down the stairs and dying from a broken neck, the cause of which is revealed to be toxic berries in her soup bowl.

A group of six summer camp counselors, Peter, Dawn, Noah, Susan, Andi and Talvinder drive beyond camp limits to party. Susan tells the group that she's found a good swimming hole, so the group follows her. Talivinder is excited about the find until she reaches a clearing lined with torches, where Andi informs her that she is going to stand trial for being 'a nasty bitch.' The scene cuts to the group dragging what they think to be Talivinder's dead body into the woods, until at the place where they plan to hide her body she regains consciousness. While Peter wants to take her to the hospital, Dawn refuses to let him take her and Noah tackles him, holding him down while Dawn drags Talivinder away. Five years later, the five counselors are burdened by the guilt of what happened, and must return to the former camp, now a commune, to remove and destroy Talivinder's body when they learn that a resort is going to built on the land, running the risk of having the body be discovered. The group gets a ride up to the commune thanks to the outfitter Gene and his snowmobiles. Antoine and Renee, the founders of the commune, and Mark, Glen, Judith, Wren, and Kiera, the communes members, are surprised that the group have decided to visit in winter. Gene is killed when he goes to the isolated sauna and is surprised by a parka-clad person wielding a chainsaw. When the former counselors go to the site where Talivinder's body was supposed to be hidden, they find it has disappeared. In a flashback, Talivinder is the newest counselor at the summer camp and Andi is showing her the camp, and Talvinder begins making advances on her boyfriend Peter. Back in the present, Andi is angered by Peter's optimism about rekindling their relationship after going to the police. Searching for the body, Andi finds Talivinder's skeletal corpse suspended from nearby trees and gets knocked out. Peter leaves the cabin to search for Andi and finds her with her throat slit. Peter returns to the commune with news of Andi's death, while Antoine tries and fails to contact the outside world via land line. When the former counselors return to their cabin, they find someone has written the words 'I know you killed her' in blood over their mantle. In a final flashback to Talivinder's murder, Talivinder repeatedly calls out to Peter that she still loves him. Furious, Andi kills Talivinder by smashing her head with a rock.

October 17, 2017 (2017-10-17)

Two years prior to the present, Susan and her husband Luke are walking down the street when they are approached by Andi. After Luke misunderstands the situation and leaves to let the two of them talk, Susan confronts Andi, telling her to stay away as she will defend her new family to death if necessary. In the present, the group clean up the bloody message while Antoine and Renee go looking for Gene, only to find a gruesome snowman decorated with his dismembered body parts. 5 years ago, sometime after Talvinder became a counselor, she and Susan are setting up a fortune telling booth for a camp carnival event. Susan isn't happy about working with her because she thinks she's too clingy and desperate, and Dawn admonishes her for disliking Talivinder. In the present, the group create a story, in case the commune members are suspicious about Andi's murder, and Judith and Wren have a quiet chat, where Wren expresses his concern about her after almost walking in on her cutting herself in the bathroom, until Antoine comes in to announce a meeting between both groups. After announcing the discovery of Gene's body, Antoine, Renee and Pete go out to the snowmobiles to see if they can go for help, only to find all the gas has been siphoned from them. 5 years ago, before the camp carnival is to begin, Talivinder attempts to seduce Susan, but Susan retorts that she sees right through her, angering Talvinder. In the present, the counselor group are unpleasantly surprised when Dawn reveals she has a gun, having packed it just in case. Noah finds a box on the commune's doorstep, with a note saying 'Stay Warm!' attached, that is stuffed with Gene's bloody clothes. After this discovery, Susan gets angry so she and Noah attempt to walk back to Gene's store to go for help in her SUV. 5 years ago at the camp carnival, the fortune teller's booth is trashed and Talvinder accuses Susan of doing it, though Susan tries to protest her innocence. In the present, Susan and Noah discover that the phone line was cut, preventing anyone from calling for help. Renee discusses the disappearance of Talvinder with the commune group, as it caused Renee's mother to shut down the camp 3 years prior because parents wouldn't send their kids anymore. Antoine gets suspicious of the former counselors, as the story they gave fits the disappearance's timeline. After getting too cold and lost in the dark, Susan and Noah are forced to return to the commune, Noah suffering from severe frostbite on his toes. Dawn is surprised during the night by someone trying to get into the cabin, so she fires through the door, alerting the people behind it, Mark and Kiera, to the fact that the counselor group has a gun, angering Renee and demanding the truth from Noah and Susan. Five years ago, while discussing Talvinder's accusation, Susan leads Andi through the woods to show her Peter and Talvinder having sex. In the present, Peter convinces Dawn to give up the gun, surrendering it to the commune group, but Antoine and Renee take the gun when he can't provide a good reason for having it and kick out Susan and Noah to the counselor cabin, telling them not to come back for any reason. When Susan tries to argue with Dawn, claiming innocence in Talvinder's death, Dawn reminds her she came up with the idea for the trial that went wrong. 5 years ago, Susan tries to comfort Andi after seeing her boyfriend cheat on her, telling her the only way to beat Talvinder is to think like her, to come up with a plan to ensure she never does anything like that again. In the present, Susan left the cabin to go for a walk and is shot by a knock-out dart. 5 years ago, when Talvinder is discovered to be still alive, she apologizes to Susan and begs for her help while Dawn demands to know what to do next, so Susan panics and runs away. In the present, Susan is dragged by her hair by the parka-clad person to a spot where her eyes are gouged out with a broken pipe and her neck is snapped. Juliet is shocked awake when she discovers Wren in her room, though he had come to stand watch over her through the night. Mark and Kiera discover Susan's body. Two years ago, when Andi tried to talk to Susan, Susan says that the reason she seems so together is that she pretends that Talvinder's death never happened, dismissing Andi's concerns about living with the consequences as 'some of us have more to regret than others'.

He had found it last summer while looking for mushrooms in the woods. after he stumbled across it in the woods months prior and he had to hide it to ensure the land deal went through. But after that, he was concerned he'd left evidence on it and would be accused of her murder so he had to keep it. Renee is angry that Antoine has hidden this from her but agrees to keep the body a secret. Glen gives Noah some drugs for the pain from his frostbite, but makes sure he promises that he won't tell anyone he has them, as illicit drugs are banned from the house and spies on Noah from the bathroom keyhole as he is changing. 3 years ago, Antoine is trying to dispose of the evidence of the homophobic man's murder when Renee invites him over to smoke weed. He expresses his frustration with city life, and Renee tells him about some land her family has that they could use to build their own open community. In the present, Antoine and Renee go out with an auger to hide Talinder's body, but the ground is frozen and Antoine tries to tear her corpse apart to bury her in different locations. When he fails, Renee convinces him to turn over the body to the police and hide it in the trunk again until they can. Renee, Dawn, Peter, Mark and Glen hike to Glen's shop to get to the SUV that brought the counselor group there, and Dawn misplaces her gun after Noah is seen holding a similar gun. Juliet finds a note from Wren on her bed that is seemingly romantic in tone. While looking for pain relief, Noah accidentally discovers more of Glen's pills, one with the name Benny Ironside on the prescription label. The group arrives at Gene's store, but find his phone line isn't functional because he didn't pay the bill, and the SUV's battery is dead because Dawn left the lighted mirror over her seat on. Keira discovers Talvinder's severed hand when going for firewood, which enrages Antoine into confronting and attacking Noah because he was the only member of the counselor group left behind, demanding he tell everything about what happened 5 years ago and why they came back. Noah blames Owen, and before Antoine can hurt him anymore, the group comes back, shocking Renee with his display of violence. Antoine apologizes to her, but refuses her help as he leaves to hide the body. He runs into Judith in the hall, who wanted to discuss his observation of her and Wren earlier, but says it's natural to want to escape in this situation and he believes it's harmless. When her gets to the trunk, he finds it empty, and is surprised by the parka-clad person, who knocks him down by pushing over the auger, impaling him in the stomach before turning it on and tearing his insides apart. Glen goes back to his room and Noah confronts him about the different name on the pill bottle. Glen identifies the pills as warfarin, an extremely expensive medication he received for free from a compassion clinic, and they had to print random names on the labels because the practice is considered illegal. Noah doesn't believe the story, so Glen warns him not to go through his things again. As Glen prepares some meat for his meal, a piece he puts into the pan has one of Antoine's tattoos, leading Renee to the shocking revelation that Antoine is dead.

October 17, 2017 (2017-10-17)

One year ago, Glen is in prison, talking to a confident new inmate while working out, advising him to seek allies. In the present, Glen is throwing up in a sink after the discovery that the meat he was cooking and eating was Antoine. Mark and Renee go out to the shed where Antoine was killed, finding the bloody auger and the rest of his remains in the trunk that was used to hide Talvinder's body. Judith comforts the grieving Renee, convincing her to take some pills to let her sleep. Mark visits with Dawn, returning the gun Antoine took so she could have it for protection. When Glen angers Noah, he reveals to Kiera and Peter that Glen has a prescription with a different name, but can't find in his drawer when tries to show them. This makes Kiera suspicious, so she orders him to stay in Glen's room until further notice. Kiera and Peter are surprised by a stranger in a parka outside, who they chase down, only to find it to be a woman named Megan McCalister, who claims to be on a memorial trek for her best friend Gail who died of leukemia. Renee is suspicious and strikes her with a statue, giving her a concussion, refusing to listen Kiera trying to tell her Megan was telling the truth because she found a park permit dated the day before at 8 am, from a station 50 kilometers away. When Renee keeps trying to hurt or tie Megan up, Kiera orders her out of the room to tend to Megan. 6 months ago at Glen's prison, the cocky new inmate is about to be released, saying his first stop on the outside will be a few months in Tamarind Bluffs, and gives Glen a picture postcard from the place. In the present, Peter informs Megan about what's been happening and she, reluctantly, agrees to help with a trek back down to the main road, but only if the blizzard is gone by morning. In the night, Noah decides to try and get into Glen's RV in order to find evidence to prove his suspicions about Glen being the killer. 2 months ago, Glen surprises the cocky inmate by visiting him in his RV. That night, as the two are talking, the inmate tells Glen he intends to join an intended community for a fresh start and Glen says he wants to come along too. In the present, Noah sees the freezer in the back has blood on it and opens it for a surprising sight. He takes a picture of it and flees. He tries to get back to the commune, but struggles because he went out in only a hoodie, and is grabbed by a person in black. Noah and Glen's absence is noticed at dinner, so Peter and Kiera go to look for him. 2 months ago, the cocky inmate is annoyed by Glen's antics and doesn't want him around anymore to remind him of his time in jail. Glen tells him he's tired and that he'll drive, pulling him in for a deep kiss, but the inmate breaks it, saying the best day of his life was his release, as it meant he wouldn't have to look at or touch Glen anymore. This angers Glen, and in his rage he kills him. In the present, Noah is tied up with duct tape as Glen is revealed to be the one who abducted him and is holding him in an abandoned school bus. At the commune, Megan suffers a psychotic break, seeing hallucinations and vomiting before throwing herself down the stairs and breaking her neck. Mark finds toxic berries in Megan's soup, putting suspicion on Dawn as she was the one who ladled out the soup. Kiera and Peter get to the RV and find the inmate's body in the freezer. 2 months ago, Glen made it to the commune and is accepted under the dead inmate's name, revealing 'Glen' is his false identity and Bruce Ironsides as his real name. In the present, Glen rapes Noah.

"Out of the Frying Pan"

October 17, 2017 (2017-10-17)

Five years ago, Talvinder (Melinda Shankar) is building tents, having trouble, so Noah (Jim Watson) helps her out selflessly. She comes on to him a bit, conning him into doing stuff for her. The picture of the hideous acts which later occurred is being painted, one stroke at a time. Not long later, Noah sees Tal heading into the woods with a beer and friends. Peter (Lovell Adams-Gray) and him both have a thing for her, obviously the former has a better idea of what was going on. Now, Noah’s lying in a bus after being raped by Glenn (Actually Benny Ironside) (Ty Olsson). While his captor sleeps, he picks up a kettle and tries beating him with it. That doesn’t go over well, at all. Out at the camper, Peter and the others have found the corpse in the freezer. They look around to find any clues about who it was, who owns the camper. They find the actual Glenn Morgan’s ID. Judith (Leslie Hope) tends to Megan’s dead body when Wren (Sebastian Pigott) shows up. He believes that anything could happen now. Out in the living room, Dawn (Paula Brancati) is still standing accused of poisoning the woman, denying it to Renée (Joanne Vannicola) and Mark (Paulino Nunes). This is when Peter and Keira (Madison Cheeatow) come to tell them about Glenn’s true identity, which isn’t totally received so hot right away. But some of them will go looking for Benny. Speaking of, he’s strangling Noah to death. His victim manages to toss a bit of fire around and lights the place up, trapping his captor inside the bus. Benny gets out, not before Noah escapes for the time being. Cut back to five years ago, when the group of friends has taken Tal out to the forest, calling her out. Andi (Rebecca Liddiard), Dawn, and Susan (Kaitlyn Leeb) lead them. She’s sentenced to spend a night out there alone with nothing, just what she’s wearing. She pleads to Noah, getting no help. Present day again. Everyone’s looking for Noah now, the bus burning in the distance. They hear him screaming for them. Benny takes off further in the darkness. He goes back to the cabins, breaking through the window and strangling Renée until she’s unconscious. Judith runs and hides from him as he stalks her through the halls. Thankfully, Renée puts a bullet in the big guy, incapacitating him for the time being. Benny’s in trouble, tied to a chair, helpless. When Mark comes out with food and water, he has questions for him. He asks about the snowmobile, the poison in the food. He claims he’s not a killer. He fesses up to one murder, naturally, that he’s Mr. Ironside, saying that killing Glenn wasn’t a planned thing. Meanwhile, Keira and Dawn help Noah get his clothes off and clean up. This is when the women discover he’s been raped, as well. Back to five years ago again, as Tal chases after the group pleading for them not to leave. They taunt her while they go. Peter protests, whereas Noah calls her a skank and starts a fight with him. Before they leave, Tal brings up something about Susan, a girl named Marcy Rae; they made out, and when Susan outed her she killed herself. Plus, Tal trots out everyone’s secrets, blackmailing them to take her back out of the woods. Noah yells at her, prompting her to call him pathetic, going hard at him. So he runs after her, angry enough to kill. Present day. Renée, Peter, and Mark discuss what to do next. They realize that Benny may not be the serial killer. So, what’s their best option? Could lure the real killer using him. Renée’s fixing to get answers of him, believing he killed Antoine, and she starts slicing the guy up with a box cutter. And she’s barred the door so nobody can get inside. Soon, he admits to it just to try ending the torture. This is when she peels a strip off his arm, followed by cutting his throat open. Outside, Noah finds a fire going. But it’s not any of his friends there. He’s stumbled onto the parka killer, who tosses gas on him and lights him ablaze. Immediately we cut back to Noah charging after Tal that night five years ago. He tears her shirt open, then he’s about to rape her right on the truck. Peter rushes in and hauls him off. This sends Tal running into the woods, the others shocked at their friend’s actions. Peter punches him in the face before going after Tal. This has everyone actually worried about the girl instead of murderous. Present day once more. Everyone wakes up, wondering if they’re safe since Benny is dead. Nobody can find Noah, though. Peter and Keira head out to look, coming to the remains of the fire: Noah on top of Tal’s skeletal remains.

"Drone"

October 17, 2017 (2017-10-17)

Back in the past, Mark (Paulino Nunes) is having sex in the kitchen with Stephanie, taking pictures. It’s in a restaurant, not far from the staff just outside. In through the door comes a scruffy looking dude (Dean McDermott). He’s pissed at Mark, whose client killed his son in a drunk driving incident; he obviously got the guy off for the death. The lawyer claims he was just doing a job, but this is not the end. Moments later, the man blows Stephanie’s brains out in front of everybody. He points the gun at Mark, shooting him twice, before turning the gun on himself. Back to the retreat, where Peter (Lovell Adams-Grey) and Keira (Madison Cheeatow) have found the corpse of Talvinder (Melinda Shankar) with a burned up Noah (Jim Watson) underneath. Turns out he's still alive. They get him inside, trying to help with his burn wounds. A brutal situation. Mark’s having troubles due to his flashbacks to that day he was shot. Worse, Noah needs a hospital, he can barely breath without a tube getting shoved down his throat. Outside a plane flies over; they don’t get its attention, though they start making an SOS signal out of branches and logs in hopes it’ll circle back, and that they’ll be ready. Mark also wants to build a couple fires to make smoke signals, so Peter and Dawn (Paula Brancati) head further into the woods. Inside, Wren (Sebastian Pigott) reveals a bit of an inner dark side, he doesn’t care that there’s a man burned up, dying in front of them, whereas Judith (Leslie Hope) hates to see Noah in pain; she doesn’t care what the young man did before. Out in the woods, Dawn steps right into a bear trap. They can’t open it. Peter offers to head back. Although now this leaves her all alone. She has a gun, but that’ll only do so good. She nearly shoots Mark when he turns up, then Peter gets back, too. They manage to get her out. But her leg’s completely broken. She and Mark get closer now, bonding during a terrifying experience, isolated out there. Keira straight out asks Peter if they killed that girl five years ago. From his burned up state, Noah tells Peter that it's his fault. He admits to his part in what happened, telling Keira it was largely his fault. Downstairs Mark comes to confront everybody. He believes that one of them is the killer, someone in that cabin. He talks about being an attorney before, paid to be a nasty shark. He wants to root out the killer by questioning everybody. However, they’re not happy with that. Nobody’s gonna do that, certainly not Renée (Joane Vannicola). Yet he’s pretty keen on it. He offers for him to represent We Live As One and Dawn to represent the group of friends during this little mock trial. Mark stats with Keira. He figures out eventually she had a patient die on her watch once when she was an ER nurse. She’d been working a long shift, she messed up, and that was that. Next is Wren. He’s pretty combative and has nothing to say. Judith isn’t totally forthcoming, Mark asks her about her strong prescription drugs and she passes it off. He pushes her a bit hard, getting personal, to the point Dawn isn’t on board. Judith yells at him. Then comes Renée. She would’ve had no reason to kill Antoine, however, Mark won’t let her forget that she killed Benny, torturing him to death. Mark questions Dawn about why they came up there. She’s honest, explaining they were coming up to find the remains, to move them before the resort was built. She doesn’t show any remorse. Claims it was an accident and goes on about how Talvinder wasn’t innocent. Whatever relationship they’d started building together has fallen apart, as Mark rages at her. When he goes to interrogate Peter, they’ve all had enough of him stirring the place into madness. Everybody’s slowly starting to crumble, turning against one another. This leads to the lawyer pulling out that gun; an interesting parallel to the opening scene. Simultaneously, Noah chokes to death, succumbing to his brutal wounds. Renée puts aside the anger, asking Mark to go with her someplace. She tells him, vaguely, somebody said something they shouldn't have known about the past. They head out to a spot where there’s a small cabin. She heads in while he stays out, guarding with the gun. This is when we flash back two years ago, Mark first coming to We Live As One. He meets Antoine (Christopher Jacot), Renée, Judith, as they welcome him with open arms. They’re all bright eyed, bushy tailed, ready to live an alternative lifestyle in the midst of nature. Quite different from how it is now. Especially with a chainsaw revving in the distance. Renée finds a box of things from 2012 marked Camp Motega. She looks through it and comes across the files of the group of friends, from Andi (Rebecca Liddiard) to Talvinder to Dawn and the rest. And then we see Wren. Outside the killer, covered in blood, arrives on snowmobile. He runs Mark down hard. Then he puts a couple bullets into Renée as she runs away. She doesn’t make it very far. The killer takes the file from her, then we hear the sounds of him running her over, the wet sounds of the blood, her last scream.

"Dawn of the Dead"
Felipe Rodriguez

October 17, 2017 (2017-10-17)

Five years ago, Talvinder (Melinda Shankar) and Dawn (Paula Brancati) are close. Talking together about the future, what it’ll be like fully entering adulthood, how they should move in together. A macabre match cut takes us from Dawn twirling her fingers through Tal’s living hair to the dead hair on the corpse’s head. Then she winds up toppling the remains over onto her. Meanwhile, Peter (Lovell Adams-Gray) and Keira (Madison Cheeatow) have found the snowmobile, covered in blood and gore. Plus, no gas, no Renée (Joanne Vannicola) – well, at least not much. Suspicions are high, Keira wonders if it was Dawn who could be the killer, even if Peter isn’t convinced. Jump back to five years prior. Dawn and the other counselors teach kids to do all kinds of stuff, like archery. She was particularly close to one dude, Ryan. This is also when we see Owen (Wren) talking to Tal, pressing her to go out with him, being creepy. Nothing gets any better at the retreat. Peter thinks Mark is the killer. Mark finds one of the pictures from the files on Renée, and it’s Peter. Five years ago again. Tal and Dawn talk about the latter sleeping with a married man; her stepfather, in fact. She wrecked her own home, doing it to get back at her mother. At Camp Motega, she didn’t want to add to her body count, and so she intended on taking it slow with Ryan. This is where we see her bonding, deeply, with Tal. At the cabin, Mark puts a pill in Peter’s beer, as they all sit around trying to forget their grim reality, at least for a moment. They try a game of Never Have I Ever. He has a flashback to five years before, he and Tal lying together out in the woods. She tells him about moving in with Dawn when they go back home, what they ought to do about their relationship. He made some promises, ones he appears to want to go back on. Breaking her heart a bit. Later, she listens to Dawn talking lovingly of Ryan, and she laments the love she just lost. And the drugs are kicking in on Peter. He stumbles outside, so Mark locks the door. Dawn was a part of it, of course. Keira’s the only one who seems to not believe in what the others are sure of already. Things are getting really ugly. Go back five years. Dawn wants Tal to talk her up to Ryan. The trusted friend goes to him, trying to work her magic. He asks if Dawn ever mentions him. She gives him a generic answer, not talking Dawn up whatsoever. Tal’s doing what she does, acting deviously behind the backs of the people who seem to like her; she lies about Dawn’s stepfather, making it out to look like she was molested. In the woods, Peter is stumbling, drugged on ketamine, out in the cold. At the cabins, Wren and Judith (Leslie Hope) hook up in one room. In the living room, Dawn tries getting closer to Mark, in a genuine way, talking to him about her past. She also admits that all that’s happened is because of her, her friends. She wants to own up to the guilt. Five years ago, once more. Tal lies to Dawn that she’s not Ryan’s type because he likes really skinny, small girls. This clearly devastates her friend. That night, Dawn gets drunk and starts getting a bit wild in front of everyone, talking to Ryan. But he mentions the stepfather stuff, and then she realizes her friend is not actually her friend. Out in the woods, Peter comes across a shrine, bloody, candles lit. Above it is a mannequin, hanging by the neck. Back at the retreat, Judith finds the gun in Wren’s jacket; the one the killer supposedly took from Renée. She nearly uses it on him, deciding not to at the last moment. Peter goes back to the cabin, more information now, but when Dawn lets him inside Mark runs at him, knocking him out. After that Keira is pissed. She believes maybe Mark is the killer now. Yet there’s a piece of Andi’s hair in Peter’s pocket. So strange, so creepy. Go back again, five years ago. Dawn and the other girls plot against Tal. They go from silly little pranks, to more serious things. They want to scare the life out of her. They decide to put her on trial, leaving her in the woods to walk home alone. Present day, Judith’s having trouble, worried Wren is the killer. She considers blowing her own brains out, until he finds her out there. He confesses his love for her. She says she loves him, too. However, when Mark comes running towards them, Wren shoots him in the head.

"The Past is Never Dead"

October 17, 2017 (2017-10-17)

Five years ago, Dawn (Paula Brancati), Peter (Lovell Adams-Gray) and the rest of the friends are carefully enacting their calculated plan to get revenge on Talvinder (Melinda Shankar). They take her out to that spot in the woods with the lit torches. They’ve got her on trial. She’s made to stand in the middle of a circle. They all call her out, starting with Andi (Rebecca Liddiard). Conveniently, Andi doesn’t blame Peter, which Tal uses against her. Susan (Kaitlyn Leeb) calls her nothing. Eventually Dawn has her say, feeling utterly betrayed; she’s the one who really has the most genuine reason. Peter doesn’t bash her, instead apologizing to his girlfriend for what he’s done. Cut to a little later, when Noah (Jim Watson) almost rapes her on the truck. Then she’s rushing off into the woods, the others worried for her. But Tal won’t turn back. She winds up tripping and smashing her head. They find her in a ditch. She seems dead, so they all react with horror. They drag her off, she’s still alive. Andi smashes her head, she still won’t die. And Dawn takes the rock, smashing her once more. Noah takes his turn, as well. Laying the killing blow, it seems. Wren (Sebastian Pigott) is heading back to the cabin, after killing Mark, Judith (Leslie Hope) is pleading with him not to do anything else terrible. He’s bent on revenge. They let him take the fall for Talvinder’s disappearance. All she asks is that Keira is left alive. Back at the cabins, Judith reels off a lie about Mark, that he was going to kill her. And she says she shot him. Taking the blame. Lulling Dawn in. Except the young woman doesn’t believe it, she knows it’s lies. Five years ago. The friends are reeling in the aftermath of what they’ve done, people are asking where Tal has gone. They’re trying to figure out the next course of action. Their lives changed for the worse, and they had to either deal or go to prison for the rest of their lives. Present day, the gang at the retreat hear a snowmobile. A woman named Janice arrives looking for her boyfriend, Gene. She thinks We Live As One are a cult, but Peter tries explaining, asking for help. Janice has room for one on her machine; Judith tries desperately to send Keira, only Keira won’t have it, wanting it to be Dawn, so she might get medical attention. But Wren, he’s intent on killing more. He wants Judith to help and she won’t, he starts getting worse. He’s a sad, lonely, murderous man. He says she’ll die alone and she grabs him, throwing him at the mirror. Except nobody’s there. Just her. Soon, Peter and Keira find her, bloodied, unconscious. They put her to bed, then decide they’ve got to find Mark’s corpse, confirm he’s dead. Peter heads out while she stays to look after Judith. Judith has worse problems. She continually hears Wren in her head, commanding her. We jump back five years. Wren a.k.a Owen leaves his cabin at Camp Motega, and in slips Dawn to drop a piece of Tal’s jewelry into his things. Present day, Peter comes across Mark’s dead body. Nearby he sees the footprints, he tries re-imagining the crime. He knows something’s not right. Elsewhere, Dawn and Janice try getting out of the forest, but they stop a moment across the way from the parka killer, who fires on both women, bleeding Janice out. Dawn makes it away, though she’s soon shot in the river. Who’s behind the mask? Judith. At the cabin, Peter finds Keira unconscious, propane filling the house. Then he sees a bunch of letters in Judith’s room. They’re from Wren, in jail. To his mother, Judith. Peter does the only thing he can, carrying Keira through the woods. Only to run into Judith. She says one lives, the other dies. A tough choice. We’re finally seeing the full extent of things now after a flashback, why the noose was in that shrine Peter found – Judith has hallucinated Owen, the entire time. He hanged himself in jail. Peter puts the noose around his neck and steps from the ledge over the shrine, hanging himself as Judith watches, flashing to images of her son slowly dying. But another surprise, as well – up the river, Dawn is still alive, on shore, and two hunters find her there bleeding profusely. When Keira wakes up she sees Peter hanging. She also finds a letter Peter wrote to Talvinder’s parents, confessing to the crime, trying to give them closure. Admitting that Owen was innocent, they laid the crime on him. Skip ahead a bit: Keira is safe, back home. She meets with Dawn, who’s preparing to turn herself in to the police, to atone for her terrible sins. From a distance, Judith watches them, still followed by the haunting ghost of her son. Neither of them have forgotten Dawn, they’ll wait until she’s free.

text: Development and production[edit]

text: Aaron Martin was inspired to write Slasher after his work on the first season of the medical series Saving Hope, including his writing of two Hope episodes where, in his words, "people got chopped up." Martin would write the first episode of Slasher as a spec script, with two intentions for doing so: To offer it to prospective studios, and to show a writing style that was different from his previous work (e.g. Saving Hope, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Being Erica). Though the script did not receive immediate interest, Shaftesbury Films would discover and option it to prospective broadcasters. The script would land at Canadian premium network Super Channel, who, their interest piqued in part by Slasher's fixed-end format, would order it as a series.[9] The now-defunct American network Chiller, which specializes in the horror/thriller genre, would join in production sometime after Super Channel; Slasher would be Chiller's first (and only) foray into original scripted series content.

text: Production on Slasher's 8-episode first season was announced on July 28, 2015, with filming taking place between then and October 2015. Three Northern Ontario municipalities — the cities of Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie and the town of Parry Sound — would stand in for the show's fictitious location, the town of Waterbury.[2] A first trailer for the series would be released on November 26, 2015.[26]

text: Unlike most TV series that film their episodes in order, Slasher, under the direction of Craig David Wallace, was shot as if it were a "super-sized" movie: Scenes from multiple episodes were shot at the same time, with the availability of locations and cast being factored in. The out-of-order schedule allowed the actors to know of their characters' fates, especially those who had to film their death scenes one day but return later to film earlier scenes as necessary. As an example of this, Martin cited Mark Ghanimé's first day on set, when his character, Justin Faysal, was laid out in a casket for a scene early in Slasher's third episode (Justin's death, which took place in Episode 2, would be filmed later on).[27]

text: On May 1, 2017, Slasher began filming a second season in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada.[3] Shaftesbury Films confirmed that the series will not be returning to Super Channel or Chiller for a second season. However, Netflix acquired the rights to the second season. The second season was released via Netflix on October 17, 2017.[4]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Slasher has received positive reviews. Zap2it called the series "a whole lot of fun" and "something for everyone," praising the series' anthology nature, its cast of characters, storyline, plot twists, bloody violence, and even the series-within-the-series Falcon Husbandry (shown as a favorite of Robin and Justin's in Episode 2).[28] Bloody Disgusting awarded the show four skulls out of five, praising Katie McGrath as a great "protagonist and possible final girl" and the series' decision to feature an adult cast, rather than teenagers, with well-developed characters and a "decidedly classic" presentation.[29] On the occasion of Slasher's Super Channel premiere, The Globe and Mail's John Doyle, while remarking that it "is no masterpiece of horror, nor was it meant to be," called the show "very well-crafted," praising its "exceptional cast" and tight pacing, and noting fans of gory horror will appreciate its bloody scenes.[16]

Like in the Netherlands, a high percentage of Flemish people speak English fluently, and in Wallonia, a lower percentage of people speak English (as it is the case in France), which brings down the total percentage.

There were 4,027,947 responses to 2006 Census: Language spoken. 3,673,679 gave English as a response, 81,936 had no English but another language. The balance of 272,382 were; no language (too young) 75,195, no response 196,221, response unidentifiable 588, response outside scope 378. Hence it is most meaningful to express the English-speaking per cent without including the figures for these 272,382. This gives 97.8% English-speaking, 2.2% non-English-speaking (3,673,679 and 81,936 divided by 3,755,565)

The European Union is a supranational union composed of 28 member states. The combined total English-speaking population (2012) is 256,876,220[41] (out of a total population of 500,000,000,[42] i.e. 51%) including 65,478,252 native speakers and 191,397,968 non-native speakers, and would be ranked 2nd if it were included. English native speakers amount to 13% of the whole Union population, while the percentage of people that speak English "well enough in order to be able to have a conversation", either as first (32%), second (11%) or third (3%) foreign language, was 38%.
When taken from this list and added together, the total number of English speakers in the world adds up to around 1,200,000,000. Likewise, the total number of native English speakers adds up to around 350,000,000. This implies that there are approximately 850,000,000 people who speak English as an additional language.
