Member Rating:  
The Japanese TV reality game show "Slashers" pits six contestants against three costumed serial killers in a program that features actual deaths to the contestants as they flee the killers in a vast maze filled with obstacles. The last contestant alive wins a million-dollar jackpot. In this episode, the contestants are six Americans, including Megan (Sarah-Joslyn Crowder), who is using her appearance to protest the inhumanity of the program; Devon (Tony-Curtis Blondell), a former special ops soldier anxious for a big payday; and Brenda (Sofia de Medeiros), a beautiful model who doesn't know what she's gotten into until it's too late. The Slashers are Chainsaw Charlie (Neil Napier), a masked hillbilly with a chainsaw; Dr. Ripper (Christopher Piggins), a maniacal surgeon with oversized shears; and Preacherman (Napier), a Bible-thumping program rookie with a razor-sharp crucifix. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

I liked this one. It starts out looking like its some cheap Japanese game show in Japanese, but then it switches to English and is more like a reality show themed horror movie.

It should be said that I went into this with very low expectations, so exceeding them wasn't exactly a monumental task, but this was a surprisingly clever and tense scary movie. If you don't like gore, or people dying in various horrible ways, its other qualities probably won't redeem it for you, but otherwise, this wasn't quite the mindless dreck I was expecting.

Ever heard of something being so bad that it was good? Just looking at the synapse you can tell that this would not be the best of films but it was a suprising take on reality shows and society's current obession with gore... Again, not the best acted/written B (or C for that matter) movie but if anything check it out for the special features... Chainsaw Charlie needs his own show!!!
