OK, so we have a redneck town with a dark secret and a band from the city in on the festivities.....doesn't sound like an Oscar winning plot but the actors played everything so over the top it turned out to be an entertaining movie.The idea of a guy running around slashing people with a sickle isn't so bad but the plot twists were iffy at best.The best part of the movie has to be the cast's interactions with Billy Bob the local yokel. The 2 guys curled up on the bus getting high, the camera dude filming everyone and everything or the embalming of people kept it watchable from beginning to the end.If you're looking for Citizen Kane, look elsewhere but if you wanna watch something entertaining for 2 hours then this would be a good choice. Its watchable if you're a horror fan.6 out of 10

The only reason why I would give this movie a perfect 10 is because, I liked the movie and yet, Zuleikha Robinson is 100 sexy actress material. She is actually the only reason why I got so attracted to the movie. I love the music and as a screenplay writer, I have to watch movies of every genre and personally, all the movies that I have seen. I have no doubts about them, but some could've had a little more work done to them, like mine of course. I've got lots of work to do. Beside all of that, I love the horror/thriller genre and this movie convinced me a whole lot. Especially when they started singing and what not. I will say this once again. I love the music but, the ending theme really got to me. It's bad enough it can't be found anywhere. Not even for the soundtrack, which currently doesn't exist till this day. I'm starting to actually think that the music was only made for the movie. Which means that it was made-for-movie material. That really sucks.

When I first laid my eyes on the DVD cover of "Slash", I was thinking that this film would be very bloody and gory. However, as I was going to find out, the movie isn't too bloody at all. It's more thrilling than bloody, with some hilarious performances from the virtually unknown actors & actresses. And the killer in this movie looked cool.The movie is about a rock group on their way to the lead singer's family home, upon hearing that his aunt had passed away. The group is forced to cope with the singer's father named Jeremiah, and his creepy hill-billy assistant Billy Bob. However, it's not all peaceful in this farmland, as a mysterious killer in the form of a scarecrow is on the loose, waiting to get some new blood...I think I'm making it sound like a horror movie masterpiece. The truth is, the movie is not bad, but it's not too great either.There are some funny performances delivered by the supporting characters (especially that black guy and Billy Bob), and the 2 female characters in the movie are gorgeous (especially Candy, the blonde cutie). However, their lines are kinda cheesy and they spit out foul language frequently from time to time.I liked the way the killer looks in this movie. It's rare to see a killer in a horror movie who wears a hat similar to Freddy Krueger's (from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" horror movies). I also loved the weapon that he used: a scythe. I've never seen horror villains use that weapon before in previous horror films.Although many of the death scenes in the film are not very bloody, there is one particular death scene that really blew my mind: A harvester machine actually "eats up" a victim and makes mince-meat out of his body. You have to see this death scene to believe it.And if you're a rock music fan, you will like the music in this movie. There are various scenes that play rock music in the backgrounds, and most of the main characters even perform rock songs. You might feel like you're watching a rock concert! To sum up, this movie is not exactly a horror classic. However, I think the movie tried its best to thrill audiences. It had some pretty imaginative death scenes (especially the one where a guy is "harvested"), and fresh new actors & actresses who may have greater acting careers in the future. If you've got a girlfriend or boyfriend, rent this movie to watch at home and have some nice thrills. Your partner will enjoy the evening. Just make sure you're far away from farmlands...I give this film a 6/10.
