UnowPriceless hyped garbage

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Celia 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.

BA_Harrison For the first time in its history, extreme Japanese game show $la$her$ hosts an All-American special, throwing open the doors of its gore-drenched arena to six plucky U.S. contestants who must fight for survival against a trio of blood-thirsty killers for the chance to win a fortune in prize money.Going by the terrible UK DVD cover that simply screamed 'worthless garbage', my expectations for this low budget horror were set extremely low, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that that I actually enjoyed the film on more than one level...On one hand, $la$her$ is an enjoyably silly splatter flick—an over the top parody of extreme game shows that delivers a significant level of tension, genuinely well-executed jump scares, cheap and cheerful decapitations and dismemberment aplenty, and just a smidge of female nudity—all of which makes it a fun film to down a few beers to.However, for those looking for something a little more cerebral, the film also offers some wry satire that takes swipes at such subjects as today's celebrity culture, the depths to which people will sink to make a buck, and the hypocrisy of religion. Much of this humour is derived from the film's superb villains: Preacherman (Neil Napier), who kills in the name of God; Dr. Ripper (Christopher Piggins), who encourages the female contestants to get topless to boost their popularity; and Chainsaw Charlie (Napier again, in a dual role), an inbred redneck who is 'just doing his job'.Although production values are very low, the whole movie being shot on digital video on a flimsy set constructed from hardboard and plastic sheeting, the cheap look and feel actually works in the film's favour, effectively capturing the poor quality and style of many a tacky Japanese game-show.

PatrickDice OK, I'll admit it, I actually loved this film! I couldn't stop watching it, perhaps partly because of how poor the production was, or maybe because of the simplistically wonderful concept.The acting is TERRIBLE, the direction is out of a third rate Mexican soap opera, the sound, lighting and editing are ridiculously bad and the plot is as thin as the chance anyone other than serious horror fans will like this movie.I think it is so funny that this is a movie about a Japanese reality TV show set in America, but cast with Canadian actors with accents as thick as Canadian bacon.Do yourself a favor and watch the film, just don't expect much out of it.

cool_cool_1 Slashers (2001) was a really bad movie, it doesn't feel like a movie, it feels like a low grade student film production, with it's TV quality production, useless actors and a pathetic dull script to boot!!! The film is about six American contestants competing for $12 million in a Japanese horror game show, they have to try and defeat the 3 slashers that are positioned within the game, you have "Chainsaw Charlie", the "Preacher man" and "the Doctor", all of them trying to kill off the contestants one by one!! There is some gore during the movie but that doesn't save this useless effort, i didn't care for any of the characters and the game itself made no sense or logic, i suggest horror fans watch a proper horror movie instead of this turkey, how come this film has got a 5.5 rating???? I give this film 2/10, and that is a fair reflection trust me!

Monsterman16 how can this movie have a 5.5 this movie was a piece of skunk s**t. first the actors were really bad i mean chainsaw Charlie was so retarded. because in the very beginning when he pokes his head into the wooden hut (that happened to be about oh 1 quarter of an inch thick (that really cheap as* flimsy piece of wood) and he did not even think he could cut threw it)second the person who did the set sucks as* at supplying things for them to build with. the only good thing about this movie is the idea of this t.v. show. bottom line DO NOT waste your hard earned cash on this hunk of s**t they call a movie.rating:0.3
