Slayer: The Repentless Killogy

I've been a Slayer fan for over 25 years. I was excited to see their first feature film. Horrible. Just horrible. The one hour mini-movie was dreadful. Pointless. Part extended music video, part dreadful story-driven short. Now the concert film. My theater sounds like they played this in Dolby 2.0 sound. Music can from the front speakers. I've heard Disney films louder. The song list was roughly 30% of her live soundtrack. Don't get ripped off and buy this on streaming or blu ray. Waste of time. 2/10

I love this band . I have manny of their albums . I love the story of this short movie - don't forget to read the accompanying comic book series! - it adds more story . Later it turns i to the live show . A weird thing about the blu ray quality .. its like black dots cover the screen like grains. Its like it was less quality but then bumped up but still loosing detail i also found this with some x files dvds. But anyway i love most slayer albums old and new. Synopsis: actually i don't want to say much because it is a short story in 3 main episode chapters with extra footage..

Okay, so any long form music video that purports to be a film is gonna be a bit naff; the acting is always going to be mediocre at best and there effects are likely to be 'special'.

That said, going into this movie with that knowledge is your best bet.

Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it feels overlong at times, especially when people are acting, but I've seen enough terrible horror and action movies to just enjoy the ride.

The main criticism is the God awful sound.

The concert part of the movie is infinitely better. I came mainly for that bit anyway. The sound is better, not brilliant, but definitely better.

As contrast, I saw Metallica S&M2 a few weeks earlier. Given they are in the same age bracket Slayer have aged so much better. Tom Araya's voice is still great, Kerry King and Gary Holt can shred and Paul Bostaph is an incredibly watchable drummer.

I'd buy this but i doubt I'd watch the anything other than the concert part again.

For a band that idealizes torture and suicide, I guess the first part of Slayer's movie "The Repentless Killogy" is the most authentic. I'm saying this because the first part of their movie was so bad, that watching it felt like torture and made me want to kill myself.

Very satisfied with the overall presentation of everything in the mini movie. If you like blood guts and metal this is for you. Plus you get a slayer concert after the movie is over so what more can you ask for as a slayer fan. People in the theater cheered and yelled SLAYER!!!! as if they were in attendance of a live slayer show. I'm looking forward to a 4K release.
