Slashers

I watched it and though far from great it didn't exactly suck either. It's a B movie with decent gore it's basically "The Running Man meets Saw" I wouldn't be handing out any awards for this but if you have absolutely nothing to watch there is worse than this out there.

A true work of Genius. I found "Slashers" to be a magnificent film. It's social comment was fantastic. I loved the concept of people killing one another for money. I also liked the idea of the women having to remove their clothes to become more popular, a great satirical comment about today's "Big Brother"/Jodie Price generation. Some of the dialogue was so clever, for example lines like "those dollar bills that you worship do not bare the face of the lord" really reflect the true intellect of the writer. This film was a great piece of social satire, reminiscent of George A Romero's "Dawn Of The Dead."

10/10

What I admire most about this movie is its sheer audacity to be so openly, shamelessly, and unapologetically terrible.

It doesn't even pretend to aim for quality. Almost mocking you for expecting anything decent, and it'd probably roast you if you suggested it made any real effort at all.

Either dive into the dumpster fire and soak in its complete lack of quality, or pick literally any other movie on your list to escape the relentless trainwreck that is Slashers.

And if that's not enough, on top of the awful writing, acting, editing, and directing, it serves up a nice cesspool of juvenile sexism. So yeah, it has that working against it, too.

'Slashers' is a gloriously unhinged low-budget slasher flick that gleefully skewers reality TV, horror tropes and media voyeurism into a fun blood-soaked satire that's more conceptionally clever than it is technically competent. Directed and written by Maurice Devereaux, this movie stands out as an inventive and entertaining horror film despite its obvious budget limitations, bad acting and lack of overall polish.

The Plot = Six random contestants Megan (Sarah Josyln Crowder), Devon (Tony Curtis Blondell), Michael (Kieran Keller), Rick (Jerry Spiro), Rebecca (Carolina Pia) and Brenda (Sofia de Medeiros) are chosen to take part in a Japanese reality show called '$la$her$' where they have to fight for their lives and survive against three bloodthirsty killers in order to win $12 Million dollars.

Despite being highly rough around the edges, the movie manages to be a fun ride thanks to its great simple concept in which the director just has fun by running with it through a series of brightly colored sets with a generous amount of blood and gore for good measure. The movie balances suspense and tension quite effectively through tightly edited scenes that are shot in one continuous take, which is highly ambitious and impressive.

The direction by Maurice Devereaux is solid as he does what he can with the incredibly small budget by keeping the momentum going at a brisk pace and incorporates some cool shots and kinetic camera work that keeps you more than invested throughout. However, what holds this back from being great is the poor acting from the obviously inexperienced cast who each turns in overwrought and painful performances which does tend to take you out of the moment, and it doesn't help that the dialogue that they were given was awful. The writing could have done with a bit more polish and cinematography did look cheap, but if you can get past that then you can have a good time with this.

Overall 'Slashers' is a chaotic and campy slasher flick that reaches the level of so bad it's good in horror cinema and as long as you don't go into this expecting anything high art, then you can have fun with this trashy b-movie.

Slashers is some kind of social satire horror movie that introduces us to six characters being in a Japanese game show where they have to survive the night against three different killers. Honestly the idea sounds kind of fun and I was curious to see how this movie would turn out.

First of all let me say that the acting is really not good, most of the protagonists act pretty bad and that can be annoying to endure for 99 minutes. Also some of the dialogue was really dumb and probably even annoying but I would not rule out that this was made intentional. Exactly how some of the nudity was made intentional, two of the female characters get their shirt ripped off and the one girl has quite some screen time topless with hands over her breasts. It is even said in the beginning that nudity makes the characters more popular which is probably a nod to reality TV shows like Big Brother. The movie also has some great gore with some decent effects and probably the most memorable and best thing about the movies are the killers. You have three different killers that act at least a little bit better than our protagonists and they have different methods to torture the six contestants and I liked that. Overall the movie is decent and if you can bear the acting you might have some fun with it. [5,4/10]
