I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
If your not a fan of horror or gore leave this page now, in fact forget that it exists because your not going to like this movie one little bit. For those of you who are still reading prepare for a bloody treat of over the top horror executed (pun intended)with style and to such high quality, which is surprising as to look at the budget must have been minuscule.First of all don't expect an award winning masterpiece here just by the title of the movie you should be able to surmise that its going to be a seedy affair. Exploitation is the name of the game plenty of female nudity and gore on display just the way we like it, also it doesn't take itself seriously which I think helps this movie immensely. By keeping it light hearted the filmmakers have made it easier to look past the flaws of the movie and just enjoy it for what it is. But not to say that its shallow, with underlying satire on reality TV show's and a look into the vicarious and indifferent society in which we now live it adds depth.The story is quite basic, think The Running man meets Friday the 13th. Our introduction to the movie is the start of an episode of the no.1 extreme TV show in japan Slashers, we are quickly introduced to our six contestants who will battle it out with the insanely demonic serial killers to win a grand prize of $12 million. We have a selection of odd ball characters to route for a politically motivated college girl to an ex soldier to a fame hungry actress all out to take fame and fortune. The slashers have a comic strip feel to them played tongue in cheek and extremely over the top especially doctor Ripper (Christopher Piggins) who steals the show here, chainsaw Charlie and preacherman (both played by Neil Napier) are also deliciously disgusting character's always ready with one liners and jumping out of the scenery to keep things interesting.Some of the acting leaves a lot to be desired though, I think the performance of Claudine Shiraishi as Miho the host of the show was shockingly bad and made me want to turn it off in the first few minutes also Jerry Sprio puts in a surprisingly bad performance at some points as a Mexican bouncer. Thankfully the characters that bring down the movie are only on screen for a limited amount of time and the other characters do enough to make you look past this.The production is very cheap but on a shoe string budget what the hey, the gore effects are decent enough and there is more than plenty of the red stuff splattering from start to finish.I've seen the sets for this movie compared to a paintball arena and i will fully agree with that analysis, plywood galore comes to mind. But I think its kind of fitting to the whole feel of the movie and helps it. Also the costumes are like cheap Halloween rubbish they sell at the discount store.All in all this is a enjoyable movie which although has its flaws provides plenty of incentive to look past them and see the bigger picture. If you like gore horror then I recommend this to you highly with lashings of thick red blood, a tongue in cheek attitude and some campy over the top acting help to make this more than worth your time and a cult classic. If it wasen't for some very bad acting mainly the part of Miho i would have rated it higher, but she just brings down the quality of the first 10 minutes.
Slashers (2001) was a really bad movie, it doesn't feel like a movie, it feels like a low grade student film production, with it's TV quality production, useless actors and a pathetic dull script to boot!!! The film is about six American contestants competing for $12 million in a Japanese horror game show, they have to try and defeat the 3 slashers that are positioned within the game, you have "Chainsaw Charlie", the "Preacher man" and "the Doctor", all of them trying to kill off the contestants one by one!! There is some gore during the movie but that doesn't save this useless effort, i didn't care for any of the characters and the game itself made no sense or logic, i suggest horror fans watch a proper horror movie instead of this turkey, how come this film has got a 5.5 rating???? I give this film 2/10, and that is a fair reflection trust me!
how can this movie have a 5.5 this movie was a piece of skunk s**t. first the actors were really bad i mean chainsaw Charlie was so retarded. because in the very beginning when he pokes his head into the wooden hut (that happened to be about oh 1 quarter of an inch thick (that really cheap as* flimsy piece of wood) and he did not even think he could cut threw it)second the person who did the set sucks as* at supplying things for them to build with. the only good thing about this movie is the idea of this t.v. show. bottom line DO NOT waste your hard earned cash on this hunk of s**t they call a movie.rating:0.3
The summary says it all. I won't bother giving spoilers since 1) it would lessen the impact of this great film once you see it, and 2) others already have in their own comments.But you SHOULD find this film and see it, above all else. The director is the smartest man in the movie-making industry, and the film shows it. There isn't a single predictable aspect to Slashers. We have six very interesting, diverse and sympathetic characters, and three interesting (and sometimes even sympathetic) villains.The dialogue is sharp, the surprises are aplenty, and there's a huge social message everywhere, with the ultimate being the truth - that it's society who's at fault for making its own problems.If you can handle that intelligence, then go see this. If you can't, then 90% of Hollywood is full of trash that's catered just for you.
