In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

While in a tour with his rock band Slash, the lead singer Mac (James O'Shea) is informed that his aunt died and his family is expecting him in their farm, where he spent his childhood, for the funeral. The group travels in their bus and meets the weird patriarch and Mac's father Jeremiah (Steve Railsback). The local Billy Bob (Nick Boraine) tells about an old tradition called "harvest of blood" used to improve the harvest. Their bus has problems with the injector and they get stuck in the farm, while a serial killer chases each one of them to collect their blood."Slash" is a rip-off of many others similar slasher movies in a cornfield, with scarecrow, harvest and axes, but it is watchable. The story is predictable and has a huge flaw, when Mac uses a fake knife to stab his girlfriend. How could he know that the knife was false, if he had no contact with the owner? My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Slash – Rock do Terror" ("Slash – Rock of the Terror")

A b-grade horror movie where a rock band gets stuck on a farm haunted by a super natural killer. Some of the acting isn't very good but I've seen worse and the movies plot was fine too. One good scene was definitely the axe battle (guitar versus normal axe. Get it?) and the kills of the movie have some creativity in them.. Minus points come from some really bad scoring and the characters of course in the wonderful b-horror movie tradition behave like idiots. It's a fine choice if you want to see a b-grade horror movie. You know what you are getting, nothing special. This one isn't THAT bad though. As a horror fan I was decently entertained.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*What is it about killer scarecrows? They seem to be dominating the straight to video horror scene right now. I recently saw "Scarecrow Gone Wild" and have my eye on "Dark Harvest". Maybe I'm answering my own question. There always seems to be room for one more scarecrow flick. You want to star in a horror flick? Start lining up now. Stuff your body full of straw, sharpen up your favorite scythe, ask the Wizard for a brain and fill out an application. "Slash" has a scarecrow going bonkers over a visiting rock band. Some obnoxious punk comes home with his band to visit the family farm and ends up getting stuck there. They landed there just in time because the scarecrow wants to make mincemeat out of them for his harvest of blood. A Blood Harvest eh? Hmmmm… "Blood Harvest" could be the title of the next killer scarecrow bonanza. I'm sure I'd get around to seeing it sooner or later."Slash" is OK. It's worth a look. Scarecrow, cornfield, blood etc.

~Spoiler~ Slash is a pretty mundane effort. The film's plot involves a rock band named Slash who's lead singer used to be a farmboy. When the singer's Aunt dies, the band goes back to the McDonald farm where he begins to remember his childhood while his bandmates are killed in usual slasher form. My first complaint is that when you hear a rock band named Slash you expect it to be a metal band. This was more like a lounge band and were completely unworthy of the name "Slash." My second complaint comes from the band's tour bus. Slash is supposed to be a struggling act but they have the biggest tour bus I've ever seen. Not a van, a BUS. And my final complaint is the entire rest of the film. But the cheesiest, and I do mean cheesiest, part of the film comes from the music video at the end. The remaining band members have hit the big time and recorded a song. The chorus of said song is "E-I-E-I OH!" Like Old McDonald Had a Farm...get it? Terrible. It could be a career low for Steve Railsback. No, it definitely is. I was unlucky enough to catch both this and The Backlot Murders (another stalk-n-slash flick about a band) on the same night. Avoid both.
