SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Bezenby I'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.

andypowell-2 i couldn't help but think of behind the mask: the rise of leslie vernon (a massively more amazing film) when watching this because of the realistic feel to it as well as the great innovative idea. this could have been a GREAT film. the acting is...from some of the actors alright. from others...it's downright horrible.that aside the idea is great and the format is great. the story is pretty good as well, though suffering often from big blows to the logical mind.nevermind that though right? it IS a horror movie after all.i really want to see this remade...i really want it to be the fantastic film that it wants to be.however (and you can't really fault the minds behind the movie for this) this is obviously built upon a shoe string budget. and the fx really hurt the film overall.great movie. ...if you were to swap out for some better acting and slightly better fx.whoever wrote it should keep going though, great idea here.

MeinLeben This is an excellent flick. It's low budget, the acting is cheesy, but it doesn't take itself too seriously and that's part of its charm. The special effects are done very well, the idea (although done before) puts a different spin on things, and the set is genius (done at some paint ball place, I believe). I think if you like horror you'll definitely appreciate this film. I've watched it a million times and shown it to almost every one of my friends and the reaction to it never gets old. They all love it. It takes the reality television obsession to the next level. Once you watch it, you can't help it -- you'll toy with the idea of doing it. If it was real would you? Would you be game? And by game I mean meat.

Cinema_Love In another take on Series 7, Slashers strands six contestants in an elaborate warehouse with three psychotic killers. Glory and large cash prizes await those who survive. A gruesome death waits for those who fail to make it through the 90-minute show.Ostensibly an episode of a Japanese TV show, the movie quickly switches to English by introducing six special American contestants, each with their own reasons for appearing on this Running Man-esquire program. (One girl, played by Sarah Joslyn Crowder -- one of the few actors in the show with any other credit to her name (MTV's Undressed) -- wants to lambast society for supporting such a gruesome sport. One has Multiple Sclerosis and has given up on life. One was "dared" to go on the program. The others dream of the money and future stardom bestowed on survivors.) And of course the contestants not only fight off the titular slashers (masked villains with names like like Chainsaw Charlie, et al.), they start to fight amongst themselves. And as the body count rises -- and we're talking disembowelments, impalings, and decapitations -- so does the infighting.Writer/director/producer Maurice Devereaux shoots the film in real time and with the appearance that it's all one shot, Rope style, much like a TV show (or at least a TV show that only has one cameraman). Devereaux's sense of humor is as twisted as they come (one slasher, the tables turned against him, begs with the contestant not to kill him due to his wife and kids at home; the killers have a thing for forcing women to remove their shirts; and everyone has to stand in place during commercial breaks, which come up whenever someone is just about to get killed), and he's jammed a surprisingly high level of production values into this all-video effort. The gore is very well done, and the sets are designed extremely well. Getting this all to work together with a single shot (or so it seems) is even more impressive.8 out of 10
