Please god no!

This may have been one of the worst things I've seen in all my years watching horror movies. The story was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Stay far away from this trash. You can definitely tell it was final project film rubbish and all of the people that worked on this movie should feel ashamed for making it. The worst part is, is how meta they wanted to make it. Also, go a little less heavy on raising your blacks and shadows up and trying to give it a beginner's photography portfolio for bad wedding pics. Contrast is your friend, editor. Maybe the gaffer was off getting wasted and they had no real lighting to use. Whatever, stay away from this.

Felt like forever

This was one of the biggest snoozefest films I have seen in a while. A bunch of would be filmmakers and actors/actresses at a 'festival' for a lost film, all wanting to create a new film for a bunch of money...i think, but don't really care.

A bunch of pieces of would be films centered around a piece of an old partial film is as you would expect, really confusing. When you consider that all of them are bad, the actors are worse and there may or may not be a ghost really blends the bull in the the crapomatic machine.

My husband and I kept asking if it was over yet? The plot holes are bigger than an aircraft carrier (if you manage to figure out any form of a plot). Basically it ends up being the girls vs boys but that means nothing.

Do not waste your time.

A Movie FULL Of Whiny, Easily Offended Women. The Real World Is Bad Enough.

This Movies Real To Life Female Characters Make This Movie As Hard To Watch As Life Is To Live In 2023. LOL!

Plot: a Crew Made Up Of Mostly Women, Go Off To Make Terrible Short Films, While Accidents Happen and Women CONSTANTLY Cry and Prove Why Society Has Come To a Full Stop, With Non-Stop Feeling Overloads and Getting Offended At Nothing. And Then Some Real Deaths Happen and The Women Make Crap Up and Over React.

This Movie Would've Been Ok, If It Had Even ONE Intelligent Female Character. But, Then The Final Act Couldn't Happen. YAY! Modern Writing.

Save Time and Go To a Feminist Rally, There Will Be More Common Sense There and The Same Women. LOL!

Waste of time

This movie has an interesting enough premise that has some potential. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Sleepaway Slashers falls apart quickly due to poor writing, bad acting, annoying characters, and a silly plot. I cannot think of a single performance of note or a character I was actually rooting for. There were a few moments of practical effects that were decent but they were brief and far between. By the end of this thing, you will wish you were on fire as well.

I'm completely lost

I watched the whole thing but I have no idea what the actual plot was. It seemed like they blended 5 different short films into one movie. The last 15 minutes especially take a hard left turn. A few of the actors and actresses look similar and have similar personalities which only furthered my confusion in keeping track of who was who.

Some of the acting isn't bad, some is. Some good effects, some not. There's no actual slashing until the end.

I'm not sure if this was supposed to be some type of homage or a satire about independent film making or an actual horror movie. It's not even bad in a way that makes it fun to watch.
