Wedding Slashers

I like some horror movies and I'm used to the movies I see in theaters. This is for sure a very low budget movie. My girlfriend had the DVD and told me to lower my expectations and that I would have to meet the movie halfway. And I did. And I would have to say the movie is definitely halfway good. There's not much romance. There's not much of a wedding at all. Everyone is killed before they even get inside the chapel. But I must say that their are some hilarious lines and good scene. I can't say I found it scary, but I wanted to know how it was all going to end. I probably should have had more to drink and I would give it 6 stars, not 5.

Jenna (Jessica Kinney) is a young woman that has lost every man she loved since she was very young. Now she has encountered Alex (Ross Kelly) and they decide to move in together and get married. She has told him that she lost her parents but in the church, she glances at her parents and she decides to call off the wedding. She asks to her friends to leave the church and she discloses the story of her family to Alex. Meanwhile all their friends are murdered by killers and Jenna tells that they are members of her family. Why are they killing her friends?

"Wedding Slashers" is a trash amateurish slash that could have been a good black comedy since there are many funny moments. However the director Carlos Scott seems to be lost between the comedy and the slasher genre. The story is nonsense but could have been a funny film. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

I've read on IMDb and some other sites that this movie was originally intended to be more of a comedy, but that portions were re-shot and it was edited to be more of a slasher film. I don't know if that's true, but I will say that the best portions of this film are those left over from the "comedy" version. Some of the exposition and conversations are quite (intentionally) funny. I especially like the explanation of why the groom's parents, sister, and grandmother all hate the best man. Low-key, but classic.

Other than the funny moments, there's not much here. The gore is pretty amateurish, though plentiful. The plot makes no sense. And the scenes seem to switch back and forth between different sides of the same house, which is used as a remote cabin, a church, a fellowship hall, a school, and a couple different homes. It's cheerfully cheesy.

Worth seeing if you don't have anything else available, but don't put it on your preferred list.

I watch a lot of horror movies and lately there really is no shortage of them to see. But this was a horrible movie. The blood and violence being the only thing that made it worth while. The acting was beyond high school bad, there were a couple scenes that you could tell the actors were just improving (poorly) and I never notice costumes, but they were some of the worst I've ever seen it this movie. Googles and a face shield? What the hell? I never turn off a movie no matter how bad it is but I almost did for this one. Who ever has there name attached to this movie in any way should probably be lined up and shot.

But that's just my opinion.

The timing seemed off in this movie.

Lip Sync was off as was some of the dialog and action. And there were weird cutaways from slasher moments. Climax music came in late after a killing.

EXTERIOR: NIGHT Two redneck brothers talked about their toes in one scene. One brother said he had three toes and took off his shoes to count them. The redneck discovers he has five toes. The hero sneaks in from behind to stab him. He should have CUT two of his toes off and said, "You were right the first time, you only have three", whilst he is screaming in horror. There were lots of these "missed moments".

Lots of missed moments created a dull and uninspiring movie. The movie was shot on video, probability for a horror film festival like DARK CARNIVAL, it need more verve. Some OK bloody scenes but was it a comedy or horror movie. You can do both, but it helps if Sam Raimi directs.

The Bride was emotionally stoic throughout. Could use some banging action with her. Lighting and sound track were good, tho. And yes, there were boobs.
