I watched the whole thing but I have no idea what the actual plot was. It seemed like they blended 5 different short films into one movie. The last 15 minutes especially take a hard left turn. A few of the actors and actresses look similar and have similar personalities which only furthered my confusion in keeping track of who was who. Some of the acting isn't bad, some is. Some good effects, some not. There's no actual slashing until the end. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be some type of homage or a satire about independent film making or an actual horror movie. It's not even bad in a way that makes it fun to watch.

Only positive is some of the female leads seem like they have some talent. I feel embarrassed for them. This is just awful trash. Was half paying attention and it fully hurt my brain. So many problems with this, first off, NINE Directors? People flub lines and stammer at times, was that the best take available? It was trying to be something it couldn't possibly have achieved. It's got slasher in the title yet no slashing until over an hour in. It's way too long, way to convoluted. Please don't waste your time like I did. I watched for free and would still like my money back....avoid!

I actually like this movie until the end and the end just stopped. I had to take points away for the ending. Other than the end I liked it, it turned out to be the men v. the women. I didn't think it was boring, oh well, everyone deserves their opinions. I liked it, maybe you won't.

Slow boring movie, predictable and corny at best. Still can't believe I let this movie continue after the first 5 minutes

This movie has an interesting enough premise that has some potential. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Sleepaway Slashers falls apart quickly due to poor writing, bad acting, annoying characters, and a silly plot. I cannot think of a single performance of note or a character I was actually rooting for. There were a few moments of practical effects that were decent but they were brief and far between. By the end of this thing, you will wish you were on fire as well.

But the plot never came together. Men verses women? Ghostly possessions? Cursed land due to witch burnings in the 1700s? Psycho offspring brainwashed by footage from the father's unfinished film? Revenge for the death of an actress that happened 20 years earlier? disgruntled actors killing their directors for doing a crappy job? I Donno. I watched the whole thing and I have no idea why most of these people were killed. In some deaths it's never clearly revealed who committed the murder, although they do implicate one person multiple times. And what happened to the rest of the films cast? There were lots of people attending this film festival but the body count was relatively low so what happened to them? Did they die off screen? Escape? Go canoeing on the lake? The film ends with more questions than answers. P.S. A lot of time is wasted watching the footage of the unfinished film of the director that the festival was named for and the new films being made at the festival rather than focusing on the actual plot of this movie.

I still can't figure out what the hell was going on. It seemed that rosemary was a serial killer that manipulated some of the murders and others she did herself. By the end I didn't even care, mostly because the ending was the worst. Production values seemed pretty good for such a terrible film, like that ever matters in hollywood. Acting was pretty good, the story just was too random to make sense. It had potential I suppose, though cliched. It's like 3/4 of the way through they just gave up and couldn't figure out how to put the pieces together in a coherent sensiical way.

Is it so hard to find attractive people for movies these days? I can see busted looking individuals in real life. Anyways, this was a drag. Thankfully the leading females were easy to look at, even if they couldn't act. It felt like I was watching a man vs woman film. I'm a guy and even I felt the sexism was a bit much. They call this a slasher, yet no one has been slashed yet and I'm an hour in. This is more like a bad sleepaway camp movie, except those were at least enjoyable.

If made by a highschool film and media class,among proffesionals its like robbing a bloodbank in bombay.skip this film after 5 mins. and figure out your own end to the story.b.r. the grumpy old man
