The Slayers

Sorry to all involved, I know work and effort went into this and I hate to be so negative but this film is awful on all levels. I love original works and low budget grass roots movie making but please how can this possibly be worth the current rating? Please movie fans don't waste your time here it's only the second in film 40 years I've had to remove myself from. Bad script, bad acting, bad direction it's got it all, not even in the "so bad it's good" category it's just really, really bad.

Now I know how the audience at the first showing of th The Evil dead felt- this was remarkably well put together; great pace, top Notch acting, laugh out loud naturally flowing comedy and a solid plot. If your sick of watching multi million pound obvious tripe and want to see what hard work, dedication and just a "they will have to take me dead" attitude from a brilliant up and coming writer and director...look no further!

Taking into account the genuine originality and believable characters depth it's so refreshing to have walked out of the cinema with a smile of gratitude and admiration for such a well produced and finely polished film.

Highly recommended.

If you saw John Williams' first outing you will have seen his potential but been frustrated by quality issues, but it was made on a micro budget of £500.

His second outing is his coming of age: lessons learned and what a steep learning curve it was. The budget for this film was tiny (£15-20,000 depending on your sources) but it didn't show at all. The production values, intermittent animation, great score, cohesive plot, breath-taking scenery and laugh out loud script ... and really, I hardly ever laugh out loud ... all combine to make this a great film.

The lead characters, naïve and fairly simple homespun brothers, are instantly likable as they set off for an adventure in Earth's last two weeks before its destruction ... heading north from Stoke-on-Trent they meet some girls, some vampires and some vampire slayers and ......

There are great performances from the supporting cast too with a fresh Stoke-on-Trent humour that allows you to have sympathy for the characters that is so often missing from obnoxious Hollywood characterisations.

The special effects were not over-cooked and the film is better for it. Some violence but no over-use of gore, this was gimmick free and strong enough in all departments to achieve a resounding success.

This is highly recommended and I can't wait to see what's next from Mr Williams.

I think that I did really well to last through15 minutes of this utter rubbish. The acting and script are awful, and everything else is not much better. Painful to watch, it made me embarrassed for the people that made this.

The Slayers really does deliver and belies its £15,000 budget and truly proves, if you want something done, do it yourself. The storyline is excellent, full of plot line twists and turns and a delivered by a very professional cast. Onto Casting, Darren McAree and Matthew Sandland are excellently cast as Nigel and Job, and provide more comic relief than my ribs could handle.

George Newton is believable as Reg, with more deadpan than Deadpool.

I don't want to give you any spoilers, other than if you like horror comedy then watch it. If 'The Cornetto Trilogy' are up your street, then you wouldn't go far wrong with watching The Slayers.

If you're expecting big budget special effects, sorry, you might be disappointed, however, if you look past this and concentrate on characters and plot line then you won't be disappointed.

This has to be one of the funniest films EVER!
