An investigative journalist (Tiffany Apan) with her mind set on the
Pullitzer Prize has stumbles upon a website run by Slasher Inc, a company
that fights for the enviroment - by slaughtering all those who litter. To
that end, Slasher Inc supports eco-friendly serialkillers and now runs a
contest, hosted by company CEO Alicia (Robyn Griggs) and the company's
hockey-masked serialkiller in residence Rob the Slasher (Raz), that will
give one of three serialkillers the opportunity to achieve immortality. First
serialkiller is Nursery Rhyme Jack (Jack Bowman), a perfectly mild
mannered-looking man, who elaborates on his killings in a soft and
friendly voice, and freely provides the audience with recipes to cook
humans and the like. Next up is cardboard-masked Loonitic Rob (Rob
Avery), who kills people in the framework of a gameshow roughly following
the rules of Truth or Dare - only difference that all contestants
are killed in the end. Final contestant is jute bag-masked Kevin Tooler
(Rob Avery), and man, he's clearly off the rocker: He claims that every
person he kills returns as a demon, and these demons will serve him. Where
did his powers over the demons come from? He himself was killed by Rob the
Slasher, but came back thanks to a deal with the devil. Thing is, now he
also has all of Rob the Slasher's memories, and if he doesn't take his
medication, he thinks he becomes Rob - and in one such fit, he kills his
own sister. Kevin Tooler wins the contest hands down of course, but Rob
the Slasher still has an account to settle with him, after all Kevin was
the only one who escaped death by his hands ... so he kills Kevin's other
sister just to lure him to his place, Then the two get into a bloody
fight, at the end of which Rob decapitates Kevin and smashes his head to a
pulp. So in the end, the grand prize goes to Loonitic Rob. And what
became of our investigative journalist, you might (or might not) ask? When
Slasher Inc notices she's spying in on them, she is killed by an electric
jolt they send her over the internet. Over-the-top, politically
incorrect humour and plenty of gore, all presented as a game show satire -
now that sounds like an unbeatable combination. And I have to admit, there
are plenty of scenes to laugh at in this movie. But unfortunately, it
falls several feet short of being great. Basically, the film's problem is
that the narrative thread is dropped at the beginning of the movie and
never again picked up, instead the film just becomes a climax-less series
of killings, but without any emotional backstory to them, the killings
become just empty special effects. It's only late in the film, that with
off-the-rocker Kevin Tooler and his rivalry with Rob the Slasher another
storyline is introduced into the film, but that's a bit too little too
late. Sure, the film still is some fun consumed with beer and mates, it
just could have been so much better.
