This Underrated Slasher Film That “Upends expectations” Is Now Streaming for Free
If you dig a slasher film with a dose of retro energy and a smart setup, I have a recommendation that will likely be right up your alley. I’m talking about Founder’s Day, a sorely underrated film from the Bloomquist brothers (Erik and Carson Bloomquist). In my review of the film, I said, “Like She Came from the Woods did before it, Founders Day frequently upends expectations… It’s clear that the Brothers Bloomquist have a knack for subverting that which viewers are likely to anticipate.”
As you can probably tell from my enthusiastic endorsement, I had a fun time with Founder’s Day. Although the flick doesn’t quite rise to the level of the brothers’ previous film, She Came from the Woods, Founder’s Day is nonetheless an enjoyable slasher that pays homage to celebrated efforts like Scream.
The setup for this slasher goes like this: A series of ominous murders rocks a small town just days before a heated mayoral election. As accusations fly and the threat of a masked killer darkens every corner, residents must race against time to uncover the truth.
Although I’m a big fan of the film, some of my peers are decidedly less taken with it. My suggestion is to check the flick out for yourself to make up your own mind. If you are eager to experience the film, you can presently stream it free of charge. That’s right, dear reader, you can currently scope Founder’s Day on Tubi for free (with ads).
The flick features a fairly sizable ensemble cast that includes Naomi Grace, Devin Druid, William Russ, Amy Hargreaves, and Catherine Curtin. Erik sat at the helm of the project and co-wrote the picture with his brother, Carson.
So, there you have it, Founder’s Day is a thrilling effort with an unpredictable narrative that recalls noteworthy efforts like Scream. If you’re curious to experience the film, you can find it playing on Tubi now.
Stay tuned to the site in the near future for more streaming recommendations as we discover them. In the meantime, if you’d like to keep up with me on social media, you can find me on Threads @FunWithHorror.
