A serial killer is roaming the town, specializing on girls he meets on dating sites online, and being smart enough to lay out false leads, so every time the police think they're upon him they run into a dead end. And despite this, Jack (Ben Kaplan) and Kristy (Morgan Carter) meet online and agree to a blind date - but as a sort of precaution they agree to rent a cabin in the country where they're relatively safe from the serial killer. And they actually really fall in love and have sex the first night - only problem is, their hosts, Momma (Jewel Shepard) and dad Jesse (R.A. Mihailoff) are actually maniacs who soon drug them, tie them up in their basement, and have definite plans to rape and murder them. Somehow Jack manages to escape though, and even though he's a city boy, he manages to thwart Jesse's attempts to capture him time and again, and almost manages to murder him a couple of times. Momma and Jesse's daughter Caitlin (Rebecca Crowley) is so impressed by Jack that she decides to help him escape, but that ends bitterly, and then Jesse manages to corner Jack, too - but Jack has a secret that might turn the tides for good ...

Slasher.com is a thriller that truly keeps one tied to the screen, as if after a set-up that manages to build up the mystery, breaks into an action- and suspense-filmed second half of the manhunt-in-the-woods variety that's well-paced and beautifully filmed and isn't short on violence one would expect from a film like this. Plus the characters are just the right amount of like- or hateable to really feel for them. Unfortunately, in the finale the film tries too hard to surprise everybody and thus gets too smart for itself, culminating in an ending that seems to be pulled out of the hat rather than thought through, just to add another surprise to the show.

That said though, all of this is just an afterthought, the film's actually lots of fun while watching and should keep one terrificly entertained for its running time at least.
