So bad it almost makes it good

Is this the next 'The Room'? Maybe not. But with the number of random awkward scenes it sure comes close.

Besides the badly scripted lines, there are so many added scenes that have no storyline or meaning to the plot.

Talking about plot, I don't think there is one, or at least I didn't catch it.

Saying all of this, I still do recommend watching it (as long as it's with friends). The laughs you'll have afterwords trying to explain the movie to each other is well worth it.

Expect the unexpected

Taking into consideration Slammer was completed during the pandemic, I think it's impressive what was achieved despite restrictions. The plot was interesting (though confusing at times), and I found Flora Montgomery's performance impressive in particular.

This may not be the Hollywood quality movie we're used to seeing on the big screen, but I'd deffinately recommend watching it.

Couldn't take it anymore

Went into this with a completely open mind and tried my very best to make sense of what I was watching - to no avail.

The relationship between the characters is poorly explained, their stakes couldn't be more unclear, the dialogue was offensive to one's intellect and the editing was godawful, with no sense of coherence or cohesiveness whatsoever.

And this was only Act 1. Didn't stay for the rest as I felt absolutely no reason to, given the miserable set-up

Such a pity.

Original and gripping

I went in not knowing what to expect but I really loved this. It is a bit confusing to start with as it keeps you guessing and it moves around between scenes but then in the second half the different strands start to come together. At the end some things are left unexplained so there are different interpretations.. but for me that makes a film much more interesting than having it all spelt out for you! It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I thought it was great- original, gripping and great acting.

Fixed to seat and screen

A considerable feat during lockdown. Interesting concepts, visually engaging, great sound, acting performances excellent. Some confusing plot lines and occasional awkward scripting. Kept one fixed to seat and screen. Feels like some novice mistakes but by a talented newcomer.

Trivia
The second half of production was shot during the 2020 global pandemic. Every day felt like a heavy, calculated risk and there were many, many sleepless nights! Safety was a primary concern and everyone completed production safely. Team Slammer had an excellent Covid Co-ordinator called Katherine Rose Hall and the cast and crew followed COVID-19 Guidance for Location Filming, as carefully as they could under the circumstances.
