Wedding Slashers

I never write in these user boards because what I feel is usually summed up by other members or critics so there is little relevatory info to give but this movie was one of the greatest gaps between expectations and results I have ever had.

THis movie had three bad things going for it. A) it was direct to DVD horror film. B) it was named after a play on words from a major motion picture which is never a good sign. and C) it looks like it was shot on a home video camera that has been dropped.

BUT it works because it does not take itself seriously and is really funny. You can tell the guys behind this film have a great sense of humor. They also drop references to films that lead to a debate about the sex of a ape named Coco. They really had a good time making this and you will have an equally good time watching it. Do yourself a favor and rent this.

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.

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.

This is a throwback. There was a time when horror films were gritty, exploitive, funny, nasty, and had moments so bad they were good. And boobs. They showed BOOBS! If you're not expecting Devil's Rejects or the Grudge or any other modern and slick horror, you will find Wedding Slashers watchable. "Wedding Slashers" is a direct descendant of those trashy, low budget 70s horror films. Catchy title, cute girls, nudity, blood, a big old knife on the artwork.

The movie opens with a flashback. A bride and a groom with not a nickel to rub together are heading to Vegas, running away from home to get married. They don't make it. They are exterminated by a gas mask, cloak wearing, Darth Vader sounding killer. He spouts some nonsense about love and then abruptly splits the brides head open like a watermelon. You practically see the seeds. Moving forward in time we meet another Bride. Every man she's every loved has died a mysterious death. Without ruining the end, the fate of her fiancé hangs in balance. Will the mystery be solved and will our love birds tie the knot before the bloody finale? The plot is simple. The performances are raw but more often than not, good. This production value is minimal, the technical aspects – besides a nice 5.1 surround mix, there are none. The gore is sometimes shocking, sometimes campy, and usually entertaining.

The charm in this is that a bunch of first timers (At least their previous credits don't add up to much) have made a little movie that pretty much works. You can see the missteps, but they are never boring or offensive. I would have liked to see more of the strippers at the bachelor party. Of course, it would have been nice to see more of the bride. There's a shower scene and for some reason, they don't show below her shoulders!! She's too cute to keep covered up. But despite those major drawbacks, Wedding Slashers is a keeper.

And you thought your significant other's family was weird? Wedding Slashers will make you think twice about ever saying "I do." It is reminiscent of past horror titles such as 'Deadly Friend' and 'Friday the 13th.' It is a classic slasher film that features characters with names like 'Sock Monkey' and 'The Mortician.' You may laugh at first but trust me, these guys will freak you out. This is a quencher for the blood-thirsty horror/slasher fan that needs to see gore, gore and more gore. It's not all slash and gash either - Wedding Slashers is chock-full-of one-liners and will give you more than just a chuckle. You're going to need to see this one to believe it.
