Genre: Slasher / Horror / Giallo Starring: John Tueart, masked killer Director: Gene Dolders Runtime: 1h 33m
1. The Synopsis (The Gist)
John Abbott is the arrogant host of a trashy true-crime TV show called Lights, Camera, KILL. He gets rich by re-enacting grisly murders and exploiting the victims' families. But one victim’s relative has had enough. A masked killer begins hunting down Abbott and his crew, turning their production set into a real-life horror show. The hunter becomes the hunted, and the killer wants to make sure Abbott suffers before he dies.
2. The General View (Detailed Analysis)
"The Blade Cuts Deeper" is a love letter to 1970s Italian horror (Giallo).
The Vibe: It prioritizes style and suspense over fast jumpscares. It uses bright colors, creepy music, and slow-building tension.
The Kill: The practical effects are great. The deaths are gory and creative, which will please hardcore horror fans.
The Twist: The main character (Abbott) is extremely unlikable. You actually find yourself rooting for the killer sometimes because Abbott is such a jerk. This makes the cat-and-mouse chase very interesting.
3. Final Verdict
A stylish British slasher that respects the classics. It might be a bit slow for the TikTok generation, but true horror fans will appreciate the craft.
Rating: 6.5/10 Recommended For: Fans of Scream, Halloween, and 80s slasher movies.
