Slash

 

bullet

(Reviewed by Preppy) - Terrible but not the worst.  Mac (James O'Shea) the lead singer of a band called Slash finds out his aunt has died. She lived in a remote farmhouse in the middle of nowhere with her husband Jeremiah (Steve Railsback) and farm hand Billy Bob (Nick Boraine). The whole band goes to attend the funeral. While there Mac starts having flashbacks to a traumatic childhood incident and someone is killing people off...one by one with a scythe....

Sounds dull...and it is. The writing is lousy! The script contains some truly idiotic moments. Why does the entire band attend a funeral for someone they don't even know? When two people are trapped in a barn they (VERY stupidly) chose to hide in a dead end cellar other than running outside! Also I found it a bit questionable that the one black member of the band brings a semi-automatic gun (WHY?????) and is one of the first killed. Also two band members who seem to be gay (they are shown sleeping together) are also killed. Everyone else stays alive. That's another thing--this is a HORROR film. There are next to no deaths! I counted FOUR--and there's next to no blood or gore too. Horrible ending too.

As for the acting....there are two OK performances--Railsback as Jeremiah and Boraine as Billy Bob. They're nothing spectacular but they're better than everybody else. Everybody else SUCKS! This is truly horrible acting...I've rarely seen worse. The worst is O'Shea (naturally he's the lead). He is handsome with a great chest and 6 pack abs (which we're shown quite a bit)...but his face never changes expression. He has the same blank look all through the film. Just terrible.

On the plus side--it's filmed in washed-out color (which actually helps the movie) and there's some OK music.

So I'm giving it a 2/10...primarily for Railsback, Boraine and O'Shea's body. Still, that's not enough to recommend this crap.

Surprisingly this was filmed in South Africa!!!!
