Torturous to Watch

I struggle to put it into words.

It was torture.

The budget for the film was about £35 on production; it almost felt like they forgot to edit out scenes from 99% of the movie (yes the only good part were the credits in the end - because of the sense of relief that it was over)

The film producers kept trying to induce epileptic episodes - consistent lights flicking. It induced my chronic migranes

There was no story line.

None of the actors were even remotely good looking. The entire 2hr movie consisted of 4 scenes just chopped and looped together.

All the props were bought from poundland.

Exceptionally terrible. Not even to the point of being funny.

Not a fan

I hate to say, but I wasn't a fan of this. The story was confusing and barely there, and what was up with the animated scenes??? That was very odd. Some of the acting fell flat, particularly that of Rat; but honestly, it made it kind of funny. The sound was a bit odd and the voice mixing was loud at times. I liked the idea, and it was funny to talk about but that's it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
