Slash (2002)

- written June 4, 2009

Summary: While in a tour with his rock band Slash, the lead singer is informed that his aunt died and his family is expecting him at their farm for the funeral. The group travels in their bus and meets his odd family. They talk of an old tradition called "harvest of blood" used to improve the harvest and when their bus breaks down upon arrival, they realize a killer needs them to collect their blood for the crops.           Overall: Ok, let me through this at you…and maybe its because I have 2 young kids…but focus on the names in the film…It’s “Old McDonalds’ Farm.” Ring any bells? Well after that all I was doing was modifying the kids song for the film and my verses were more interesting that the film.           Old McDonald had a farm           E-I-E-I-O           And on his farm they had a fire           E-I-E-I-O          With a burn , burn here          and a burn burn there          Here a burn, there a burn,          everywhere a burn burn.          Old McDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O. Anyway, the film had some nice twists which at least made me pause so it wasn’t completely predictable. And for a second I sorta liked the son threatening to kill his girl at the end. You’ll see how it comes out but I was sorta liking where it might have gone!           Comparison: Attitude for Destruction meets Scarecrow Slayer
