Studio A24's latest offering 'Slice' is a delightful combination of all things unlikely. The '80s styled lo-fi slasher is centered around the mysterious killings of pizza delivery staff in the small town of Kingfisher. Oddly enough, Kingfisher is a town where humans and 'ghosts' live side by side. Well, sort of.

The prime suspect for the killings is Dax Lycander, a disgraced werewolf with an internal conflict of conscience. Dax is played by Chance the Rapper, marking the multi-Grammy-winning star's first full-length feature appearance. As the mystery unfolds, we learn the deep dark secrets of the town of Kingfisher and the social injustice faced by the ghosts.
