Shredder (2003)

This movie is about some friends who go away to a closed ski-resort and there, a mystery killer-skier is lurking around the slopes... a killer that maybe connects to something that happened in the past at this place!?.... watch and you will find out!first of: I liked the killer outfit! Simply but nice! I also liked the abandoned ski-resort, the whole place was creepy and exiting. I think it was a great place for a murder movie. The place and the killer was the best about this movie! The place is amazing and the killer is cool. I think you will like it too! I agree with others here about the movie in general, it was a movie that sucked sometimes but sometimes it was actually really nice too!When I see a movie I try to look past the bad things - like a weird conversation or a character that is acting strange like a perverted sheriff or when someone takes a stranger with them - without a doubt... It sucks when this kind of scenes pop upBut there are good scenes too and lets enjoy them! I am no slasher/horror expert and I don't want to try to be one. I just wanted to tell you about the good things in this movie. For me its important with the back story and also the place. I wanted to give thumbs up for these details in this movie! There will always be details that you miss, for me its about more scenes of the killer lurking and also maybe a scene when the killer is listening to the teens in secret. I like the movie and I have bought it! I don't want to complain too much, I want to see the good! And shine a light on it!

I typically try to stray away from horror films (or any films for that matter) that came out after the year 2000, but out of boredom and a newfound need to watch every slasher I can get my hands on I picked this one up on the cheap in the used section. It actually exceeded my expectations by a lot."Shredder" is a throwback to the classic slasher formula of the 1980's. The kills are inventive and the gore plentiful, and the characters, particularly Cole, have plenty of one liners to go around. I've realized a lot of post-00's movies of all genres incorporate "bro humor" (see Dane Cook) as a way to reach the mind numbed masses that are watching them. In a roundabout, twisted way this actually is funnier to me than well thought out humor, if only because it tries so hard... Or maybe I'm actually just a "bro"..."Shredder" doesn't have the most convoluted of plots, but the fast pacing and entertaining characters make up for it. Although, if you too have seen way too many slasher films, it should be easy for you to pinpoint the killer pretty quickly before the final revealing. The last ten minutes or so are excellent, albeit extremely over the top.I must say though, I would have substituted more nudity, particularly of the MAIN ACTRESS for some of the gore if need be. I mean, what is a slasher flick with only one set of knockers anyway?! Not enough if you ask me...All in all, "Shredder" is a very entertaining way to spend 90 minutes, and I would recommend it to anyone into the golden age of slashers. This is a very fine throwback that never takes itself too seriously, but still delivers the death and stalker elements I so crave.

Okay, please stop me if you've heard this one before. Seven totally obnoxious and unlikeable beer-chugging, snowboard-surfing, sex-obsessed party hearty college coed kids decide to spend a weekend of fun and frolics at a remote abandoned ski lodge. Naturally, they trespass, do drugs and make out. Of course, they ignore the local townspeople's warning that said lodge may be haunted by the spirit of a little girl who was accidentally killed in a tragic accident a while back. And, biggest surprise of all, some murderous mystery maniac proceeds to viciously bump off the wholly deserving chowderheads one at a time.This entertainingly tacky and silly by-the-numbers body count slice'n'dice fright flick starts out a little slow and clumsy, but steadily improves and gains momentum as it goes along. Director/co-writer Greg Huson fails to build any tension or create a creepy atmosphere, but he does keep the pace moving forward at a steady clip, stages the nicely gruesome murder set pieces with a reasonable amount of flair (gory highlights include two beheadings by steel wire, a hanging by scarf from a ski lift, and an especially nifty impalement by icicle), and elicits acceptable performances from an attractive cast of young unknowns. Better yet, the female cast members are all smoking hot (luscious brunette looker Holly Towne in particular is a major babe who even bares her tasty bod in a fairly steamy sex scene), the snow-covered wintry landscapes look gorgeous, and there's plenty of choice stupid dialogue ("I don't ski - I shred"). Charles A. Schner's polished cinematography, Alan Derian's spooky score, and the occasionally snazzy MTV-style flashy jump editing are all likewise up to par. Granted, this sure ain't anything terribly special or remarkable, but this pleasingly modest little piece of low-budget horror junk does the trick all the same.

No, not a film about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's nemesis, but instead a rather lame slasher flick about a bunch of teens away together on a skiing trip. True to form, they start disappearing one by one, so which one of them is the killer? Not surprisingly, it ISN'T the most obvious suspect. Add some buxom beauties for T & A purposes, a bit of blood here and there and a few minor jump scenes, and you've got yourself a direct-to-video hit. Who cares if the acting is school nativity level and 95% of the movie is just boring talk? The budget is so minuscule that if just the people in the bus queue rented it, it would still make a nice profit. But at what cost? An hour and a half of your life. Personally, I value my free time more than that. You should too. 1/10
