One of my all time favorites.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

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.

Rock band ends up stranded on the family farm of it's lead singer. So what's next? A fight to stay alive when a scarecrow-ish killer starts stalking!While Slash may not look or sound like anything new, it does serve horror fans best by being a completely entertaining and fairly thrilling ride. It makes the best of it's country setting by being a bit reminiscent of such classic rural horror flicks as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Children of the Corn. Director Neal Sundstrom gives us a musty atmosphere of dread in the movie's nicely rustic filming locations.At any rate, there's plenty to enjoy in this film. The story provides for enough good thrills and spills, along with some occasional bloodiness. The cast is pretty game, Railsback probably being the best as Mac's gruff father. But such unknown stars as O'Shea and Dukas prove that they are capable as well. There's also a fairly good rock soundtrack, after all, the movie IS named after the band.Genre fans may find it a fun trip, while others will likely call it silly horror. Either way, it's a fun watch.*** out of ****

The front case of this movie looked really good, since i am a HUGE HORROR fan...so i gave this a movie a look....it turned out to not be that bad...the story was original and understanding....the killer and his/her mask looked awesome....the band wasn't that bad, meaning the music...i'm more of a metal head, but i got that last song they sang stuck in my head....at the end of the movie wen the band is performing on stage....(SPOILERS) The things that kinda bummed me out was a lot of the off screen kills, meaning we didn't get to see any of the goods....i would've appreciated more of the red stuff, but maybe thats just vampire/gore-hound inside of me talking....i mean there was some blood in this movie but not a lot...(some stabbings, and the "Thresher" scene)....But overall i took a ride on this and had a happy, fun IL' time....its not as bad as people are saying....there are tons much worser then this movie....

This was a pretty good movie. I caught late one night on Cinemax. The band Slash is like any average band, a brooding lead singer, his love interest/manager and a collection of eclectic musicians that complete the group. Mac (the lead) has to return home to a family funeral, the same home which his mother whisked him away from at an early age though he can't remember why. But there is a family secret hidden in Mac's forgotten memories, a secret still living amongst the cornfield. As the group wait to get their bus fixed and get back on the road, band members begin to disappear as the the past comes back to haunt them. As Mac begins to remember the truth, the word "Slash" takes on a new form as the group becomes unwitting pawns in the MacDonald's shocking family tradition of the "Harvest of Blood." "Slash" though a horror flick is light on the gore that one usually finds in slasher flicks (which I was pleasantly surprised to find out) plus it had some comical moments, like the name "MacDonald's Farm" and the hick farmer knowing more about music that self-proclaimed "know-it-all" in the group; not to mention the song in the end, although sounding good, being entitled, "Eee-aiy-ee-OOOHHH! All in all, Decent flick, enjoyable to watch.
