Watch Slash For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Good concept, poorly executed.

Crappy film

What can you say about a movie like this? Capably acted? Sure. Filmed with a camera? Absolutely. Made on planet Earth? You bet. An original story with compelling death scenes that is capable of holding your interest? Errr...well...not so fast.If you've only seen 10 horror movies in your life, you've probably seen this plot at least 8 times. Guy returns home to strange (and estranged) family with friends whose only purpose are so we have more people to kill. Mode of transportation breaks down so hapless gang is stuck at the mercy of aforementioned strange folks. Masked killer kills them one by one for no apparent reason. There is so little to this movie that such a synopsis almost borderlines on a spoiler.It's not that the acting is bad, it's just hard to care about anyone in the movie. And really...where the hell do they get off calling such a sissy rock band "Slash"? "Slash" should be the name of at least a hard rock band (if not metal)...not these bunch of whiny Nancy boys (and girl).The death scenes in the film are completely forgettable and there's hardly any blood/gore to speak of (a huge minus for me, but maybe a plus for some). All in all you're left with a mildly warmed over version of a lot of much better movies. Save your time and watch those instead because you won't kick yourself for missing out on this garbage.

When I first laid my eyes on the DVD cover of "Slash", I was thinking that this film would be very bloody and gory. However, as I was going to find out, the movie isn't too bloody at all. It's more thrilling than bloody, with some hilarious performances from the virtually unknown actors & actresses. And the killer in this movie looked cool.The movie is about a rock group on their way to the lead singer's family home, upon hearing that his aunt had passed away. The group is forced to cope with the singer's father named Jeremiah, and his creepy hill-billy assistant Billy Bob. However, it's not all peaceful in this farmland, as a mysterious killer in the form of a scarecrow is on the loose, waiting to get some new blood...I think I'm making it sound like a horror movie masterpiece. The truth is, the movie is not bad, but it's not too great either.There are some funny performances delivered by the supporting characters (especially that black guy and Billy Bob), and the 2 female characters in the movie are gorgeous (especially Candy, the blonde cutie). However, their lines are kinda cheesy and they spit out foul language frequently from time to time.I liked the way the killer looks in this movie. It's rare to see a killer in a horror movie who wears a hat similar to Freddy Krueger's (from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" horror movies). I also loved the weapon that he used: a scythe. I've never seen horror villains use that weapon before in previous horror films.Although many of the death scenes in the film are not very bloody, there is one particular death scene that really blew my mind: A harvester machine actually "eats up" a victim and makes mince-meat out of his body. You have to see this death scene to believe it.And if you're a rock music fan, you will like the music in this movie. There are various scenes that play rock music in the backgrounds, and most of the main characters even perform rock songs. You might feel like you're watching a rock concert! To sum up, this movie is not exactly a horror classic. However, I think the movie tried its best to thrill audiences. It had some pretty imaginative death scenes (especially the one where a guy is "harvested"), and fresh new actors & actresses who may have greater acting careers in the future. If you've got a girlfriend or boyfriend, rent this movie to watch at home and have some nice thrills. Your partner will enjoy the evening. Just make sure you're far away from farmlands...I give this film a 6/10.

"Slash" is one of the better scarecrow-slashers around.**SPOILERS**As a young kid, Mac (James O'Shea) watched as his uncle burned in a fire. As an adult, he's the lead singer/guitarist in a band with a bunch of his friends. After a gig one day, the band is approached and told that his aunt has died. The next day, he and the rest of the band, Keith (Craig Kirkwood) Carl, (Brett Goldin) Susie, (Zuleikha Robinson) Rod, (David Dukas) and his girlfriend Candy, (Nina Wassung) travel to the farm where he grew up for the funeral. As he attempts to reconcile with his father, Jeremiah, (Steve Railsback) being back on the farm stirs up memories of his youth. As they settle down for the night, Mac is still upset by the memories of the past, which makes matters worse when a neighbor pops up dead around the farm. They start to leave, but their bus breaks down a little way down the road. Traveling back to the farm, they stay to help out. Being stuck on the farm takes its toll on the rest of the band, and Keith bails on them. When he pops up dead, the rest starts to fall prey to a murderous scarecrow hell-bent on getting them away from the farm.The Good News: The scarecrow-slasher film is a new sub-genre that has really gotten some popularity of late. This could be one of the better ones, mainly because it is one of the first, and better, ones. It was a great idea to strand a bunch of city people on a rural farm, as it allows for some brief comedic moments with some great "fish-out-of-water" gags and a couple really cool smart comments. It also opens great, with a guy and a girl on their way to a concert arguing on the way about their sex life, when they suddenly veer off the road to avoid hitting a cow. When they finally stop in the middle of a giant corn field, the man goes off to go to the bathroom, leaving her in the car. When he returns to scare her with a mask, she freaks out and calls him on it. Then, he is pierced through the stomach with a giant knife from behind. The blood flies into the car before she has a chance to scream, but can't find the killer anywhere. He suddenly appears on the room, prying open the top of the car with his scythe. It's a great, but very bloodless way of opening the film. The whole back-story of the band is very smartly played out, and does seem like a believable thing to happen. The killer scarecrow is also very creepy, and the rotting face and hat make him look very intimidating. He is the creepiest scarecrow I've seen.The Bad News: This is one of the most bloodless horror films I've ever seen. Apart from the cool kill in the opening, this really needed some blood. Seeing a scarecrow slash away at people with a giant scythe demands a lot of blood shed, and this one provided very little. Other than this, I really don't see the harm in this one.The Final Verdict: With some gore, this would've been a sure fire must-see. However, it isn't, but that doesn't mean it isn't a bad movie. I still think it's a good movie, but some blood-flow and some more nudity and this could be a small little cult film. See this only if you hate scarecrows or seeing a fresh twist on a well-worn idea.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity and a mild sex scene

This film is truly an amazing feat of accomplishment, I am flabbergasted!! It is without a doubt the best horrorfilm ever made; Carpenter, Hooper,Argento, Barker,Craven: Just go home will you, there is really no need for such talentless directors when we in utter awe are able to witness the wonderful magic Neal Sundstrom manages to convey onto our screens!! This is the horrorfilm to erase all previous and forthcoming offerings within the genre, this is the masterpiece that will scare the living daylights out of you. This is the most original and inventive of them all!! This is the horrorfilm boasting the most talented actors you will ever see, these guys are really masters of their trade!! It is really a shame that they are still rather unknown, this must be corrected at once! YOU HEAR ME?! This film has the best script ever written, it has the best soundtrack ever written(Angelo Badalamenti, you might as well join the previously mentioned directors!),it completely avoids every cliché,it completely reinvents the whole damn genre!! And last, but not least, you will never, I repeat,never see so much carnage,mayhem, blood, guts and gore as you will in this shining gem! And every murder is shown in graphic detail, some up to the point that I felt the urgent need to throw up, and that never happens you know, and I have seen a lot of horror!! I give it a ten, blissfully leaning back to contemplate the wonderful world of irony.
