... View MoreI'd passed this one over several times on the shelves of Poundland, but then picked it up for 50p at a car boot sale. I didn't quite like the look of it, but am pleased to say this is a fine b-movie with plenty of energy and gore, and it's fun to watch too.It's the first all American episode of the Japanese reality game Slashers and after an upbeat intro, complete with a song, we get right into the swing of things. Six contestants have to stay alive long enough to reach the end running time of the programme, while three psycho killers (one a preacher, another a chainsaw redneck and the other guy a weird Doctor) chase them round the set.The sets are nicely weird too and add to the atmosphere - I'd go into detail about the characters but I've forgotten all their names already but there's a chick there for political reasons, a hunky guy, a less hunky guy, a weird guy who enjoys things a bit too much, and two other chicks. As mentioned elsewhere the acting is a bit ropey but the gore and novelty levels are high and it's a nice take on the slasher genre.That's about it really.
... View MoreOh dear.....on one hand you have a blatant rip off of the concept of The Running Man but done so with such monstrosity that you probably could look bast the shoddy acting just to see the fun in it all.For those who have not seen the movie, the plot is 6 people vollunteer to enter a show with 3 killers and if ya survive ya win big bucks. I won't spoil the ending but you got 6 people running from paid killers with a cameraman following them around the whole way.If you're going to rip off a movie, least have some creativity and this movie has it I'll have to admit. Even though the ending was LAMMMEEEEEEE the rest of the movie was OK if you're a fan of the genre. If you're looking for a serious horror movie like Saw then you won't find it, but if you want to relax and have some fun, this is worth a look.The highlight of the movie is where the big Mexican dude has one of the killers scared sh*tless and the killer tries to plead with the network to get him the hell out of there.6 out of 10
... View MoreI absolutely LOVE this movie. It is my all-time favorite horror comedy. The reason we don't have more great horror comedy is this: Scary Movie 1 has 31,000 votes, and though it wasn't bad, it was just a parody and highly conventional. Slashers, far more amusing and memorable, at this time has 339. Duh.The core idea here, that society itself becomes light-heartedly sociopathic, goes over most people's heads I guess. It's sexy, perverted, sick, funny -- what more could you ask for? Here are some *low* budget horror comedies for comparison that do not touch Slashers:Terrorvision Re-Animator Natural Selection House of 1000 corpses (comes close but gets less funny)All of these are considerable *higher* budget than Slashers. That's all I can think of, but that just proves the point. Slashers rules.
... View MoreSlashers.....well if you like horrors its definitely one to see, otherwise don't even bother.It is completely obvious that this film has an extremely low budget, For instance it looks as if the entire film has been shot in a warehouse somewhere, and on numerous occasions you will see the mike boom shadow and the camera mans shadow, trust me you wont need to look for them.Also try to ignore the cheesy actors, if thats what you call them!!The basic outline is a few people decide to go on a game show where they have to survive a night in a big maze due to their being 3 killers on the loose and whoever live's at the end gets rich. Now there is something about this film that keeps you watching and rarely do you find that with a cheap budget horror these days,For example when i watched it i thought to my self i would'nt mind having a go at this game! especially for $12.000.000. so anyway i would recommend you watch it and make up your own mind.
