The debut feature from Iqaluit-raised director Nyla Innuksuk, SLASH/BACK packs a vivid and thrilling punch, as a girl gang in Pangnirtung, Nunavut is left to fight off a supernatural apocalypse. Employing strategies from their favorite horror movies, weapons from their kitchens, and power from their friends, the girls must battle a mysterious alien force to save their home. SLASH/BACK presents a promising young cast and a vibrant portrait of resilience, friendship, and what it means to fight for community.
"Thanks to the breezy chemistry between its largely Inuit cast, SLASH/BACK has an endearing charm that is hard to resist. From a first-time film-maker, this is a fresh, entertaining update on well-worn tropes." - Phuong Le, The Guardian
