Slayer: The Repentless Killogy

Let me start off by saying that I've been a life long slayer fan and continue to be a die hard fan up to this day. That being said the first hour of the movie seemed like a cheap D-rated horror flick directed by some random art school drop out. There was absolutely no plot, some guy just goes around butchering everyone he sees looking for the villain Lucifer. The violence is over the top and grotesque simply for the sake of shock value and violence. The last 90 minutes redeemed the movie as it moved to one of their recent live performances where they played many of their namesake songs like south side of heaven and angel of death. The audio quality could have been better but seeing as it was a theater it's understandable. Overall the first hour is a 2/10 and the last 90 minutes is a solid 9/10 so I'm giving it a 5 star rating.

Very satisfied with the overall presentation of everything in the mini movie. If you like blood guts and metal this is for you. Plus you get a slayer concert after the movie is over so what more can you ask for as a slayer fan. People in the theater cheered and yelled SLAYER!!!! as if they were in attendance of a live slayer show. I'm looking forward to a 4K release.

I love this band . I have manny of their albums . I love the story of this short movie - don't forget to read the accompanying comic book series! - it adds more story . Later it turns i to the live show . A weird thing about the blu ray quality .. its like black dots cover the screen like grains. Its like it was less quality but then bumped up but still loosing detail i also found this with some x files dvds. But anyway i love most slayer albums old and new. Synopsis: actually i don't want to say much because it is a short story in 3 main episode chapters with extra footage..

The (short) film was gore, the story thin but fun with a nice twist at the end, it made me laugh!

The last 90 minutes was Slayer's entire live set performed at the Los Angeles Forum on August 5, 2017. An amazing job done by the band (how the hell do you keep up that level of energy!) and director Wayne Isham.

Definitely a unique experience seeing it on a big screen with cinema quality audio and video, well worth it!

Okay, so any long form music video that purports to be a film is gonna be a bit naff; the acting is always going to be mediocre at best and there effects are likely to be 'special'.

That said, going into this movie with that knowledge is your best bet.

Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it feels overlong at times, especially when people are acting, but I've seen enough terrible horror and action movies to just enjoy the ride.

The main criticism is the God awful sound.

The concert part of the movie is infinitely better. I came mainly for that bit anyway. The sound is better, not brilliant, but definitely better.

As contrast, I saw Metallica S&M2 a few weeks earlier. Given they are in the same age bracket Slayer have aged so much better. Tom Araya's voice is still great, Kerry King and Gary Holt can shred and Paul Bostaph is an incredibly watchable drummer.

I'd buy this but i doubt I'd watch the anything other than the concert part again.
