Slayed (2020)

Five years ago, there was a massacre at the Harris County Water Plant.  Crandall, the lone survivor, wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again. He and security guard Tom will be the only ones at the plant this Christmas Eve. But instead of Tom showing up for his shift, Jordan arrives saying Tom asked him to cover.  Crandall tells him to just stay in the office since there is evil in this place.

Later that night the news reports a woman was snatched from her house, which is how the problem started five years earlier.  When Jordan finds the woman alive but wrapped in a plastic tarp on the lawn near the water plant, Crandall realizes the killer is back.  He tells Jordan to take the woman off the property, but the gate is locked and they can’t get out. This doesn’t sound like it will end well.

This movie is better than the Krampus Christmas Devil movies, but then again, what isn’t?  The biggest question in this movie is why the water plant keeps copies of the newspaper article about the massacre on their wall. There’s a copy in the office and in the plant.  No one wants a daily reminder of a massacre that took place at their business.

She the worst. She nicknames him Creepy Crandall,
but will still use him to bum a cigarette
Why would they ever put the massacre story on their wall?
Continuity is out the window. He get axed in daylight…
…but when he slides down the wall, it’s night.
She’s wrapped in plastic but it’s not taped or secured in
any way. Does she also have trouble with blankets?
Christmas cheer in the plant. Is that up to code?
