4.0 out of 5 stars A Lot Better Than The First 5 Minutes Might Have You Thinking, June 25, 2005

By 

Stephen B. O'Blenis (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shredder (DVD)

Not terribly original, quite predictable much of the time, and with various other little shortcomings popping up here and there, "Shredder" probably shouldn't be half as enjoyable as it is, but somehow it manages to be one of the better non-series 'slasher' type horror movies out there. Admittedly, it doesn't approach the level of the best chapters in the big ongoing series ("Friday The 13th", "Nightmare On Elm Street", "Halloween", etc.) but on the other hand it's actually Better than a number of the weaker entries in the big series. Quite a bit better, in fact.

Centering on a group of teens/early twenties characters heading up to an abandoned ski/snowboard camp for a weekend of fun who instead end up being preyed upon by a masked assailant, it misses a couple of opportunities for some more innovative (and potentially awesome) pursuit-type scenes but makes up for it elsewhere. Does manage some actual suspense more than once, and certainly manages to set itself up as a tremendously sexy movie more than once. The characters are, for the most part, kind of blooming idiots, but they're Likable blooming idiots, the kind of characters comedies featuring casts this age try for but (in my opinion) usually fall short of. Some good performances in here too.

It's kind of a hard movie to rate. If going on a ten-point scale, I could take the cynical approach and count up all the flaws and unevenness of the movie and argue it down to a six or so in spite of how well it turned it out, but who wants to be cynical all the time? Part of me keeps thinking of the best parts and arguing for a nine or at least 8.5 On a five-star scale, I think a four is appropriate. I don't know why, but a lot of what would sound like 'filler' scenes on paper just clicked and came off really good, and help the show to be worthy of a good high rating.

A couple of random thoughts: I don't always watch the 'deleted' scenes on a disc (especially on a movie that's pretty much perfect the way it is, out of fear of diluting it) but there was a bit of leeway on "Shredder" so I checked them out and they actually added to the movie - entertaining 'extended' scenes from the movie with some entertaining, seemingly ad-libbed, lines. In the main movie scene itself, the skilift scene is a highlight, a quirky little classic, but gets one thinking "why oh why don't more movies use the 'multi-camera angles option" they said they were going to when DVD was coming out, and why couldn't this have been one of them?' (still immensely cool though).

Bottom line: don't expect it to terrify you out of your wits, but don't pass it up because of that. There's a sea of movies along these general lines within its particular subgenre of horror, and a lot of them are good, but "Shredder" is, in spite of some flaws, several notches above the average. Recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yet another un-original boring slasher film, April 1, 2004

By 

Micheal Hunt (Hellbourne) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shredder (DVD)

Its your typical "seen it before" type of horror movie. Its the typical slasher flick of a group of kids who go on a vacation toegther, and there told not to go, by the wise ol local yol-kells, but they go anyway....and they end up beeing killed off one by one! With such a minumal amount of cast memembers its no suprise to find out who the mystery killer is at the end of this dull film. Its compeltly predicted way before it even happens!

There just happens to be this well preserved mountin range cabin, with a ski lift still in action, and these reckless kids fall victom to somebody who dosent like snow boarders!

Seeing as how im not into snow-boarding, the long boring clips of showing off on snow boards put me to sleep. Unless your into wanting to see the average teen group of reckless horney teenagers who go camping and get killed by someone in a mask, then dont bother with this dribble. The death scenes are not worth checking out for the gore fans. The plot takes dumb turns, and no intrests, or anything in this film is memorable to make it any diffrent from any other bad "annoying, doped up teens" who get killed in a "so called" horror movie.

Forget this, if your interested? I highly recomend you rent it, and you will probably agree its not worth looking at ever again!

You will also ask yourself "why the hell would this girl be walking around in the snow in pretty much nothing but her under-wear? Yeah...right...ok.....alot of us like to walk around in the freezing cold naked dont we?

Dont have high expectations. IMO its not even worth renting, but if it intrests you, rent it, dont buy it first, I wouldnt even want to watch this film if it was on TV.
