Slashlorette Party

Not a bad movie considering the budget. You can tell it's low budget but it's an entertaining one for the most part. I watched it all the way through. Acting is hit or miss but not really distracting.

Congratulations to the film-makers for taking the name of a horror genre and turning it into a pun. Sadly, that's about the high-point of the creativity.

Now, baring in mind that the term 'slasher' is basically in the title, you're probably expecting a lot of killing. There is some, but - wow - do they make you wait for it. There's a large cast, but no one actually dies until quite a way into the movie. Secondly, you may be thinking that a film marketing itself on gory murder you may also think they the producers would have taken their time coming up with some totally outlandish and intricate kills. They don't. Sorry if this is a 'spoiler,' but people get stabbed - mainly in the head, but occasionally in the stomach.

As I mentioned the cast is quite large for a slasher film. Most of them are in no way developed and only get one or two real moments centre stage (and probably one of those is them receiving an axe to the forehead), but there are a couple who stand out - like the best friend who is probably the most likable of all of them.

I stuck with the film until the end, but largely because I wanted to know the hows and whys of why all of this had been happening. There is an explanation, but I have to say I was left a bit confused. Then I felt silly because the movie is hardly clever, so maybe I lost a couple of IQ points while I watched it.

The murders were bad, the acting was bad, the amount of arms being cut off was bad 😂 Honestly I watched it to the end and even at the end I wondered what the hell just happened. It's up there in the low budget worst movies I've ever watched list that's for sure, sorry indie movie lovers.

The first half of this movie required a little help from the accelerator button however once it got past the half way point and the killing started a lot of the weak character development didn't matter. The low score comes mostly from its very amateur over acting and annoying soundtrack which was over used and killed any chance of the movie developing any ambience. The story was complete junk not that it mattered, the ending was too unexplained anyhow.

Re-creating that 80's slasher vibe is mostly well done. The acting isn't as bad as it could be. As a modern film, its not that great. If you like 80's slasher flicks then this might be worth it if you have time to kill. Otherwise probably best save your time for something a little less rubbish.
