Slash--Down Home Bloodshed

Starts off with a bang-sickle goes across screen viewer's perspective and shatters image with breaking glass noise sound effect.

Spanish only subtitles. Special features: trivia game, and trailers of Slash, Lawless Heart, and Purpose.

It's an idyllic summer day, and you're a ten-year-old country boy out playing in the barn with your music box. Okay…so a REAL ten-year-old country boy wouldn't be caught dead playing with a music box. But it looks seriously creepy-a farmer with a huge sickle menacing some livestock-so you can at least suspend some disbelief here. That and it also plays "Old MacDonald," which happens to be YOUR last name, so it's okay.

Grandpa wheels in a big cart and takes it to the back of the barn, where you know you're not supposed to go. And with good reason-seems Grandpa's been pretty busy.

Busy KILLING, that is! Corpses! Corpses EVERYWHERE! And he's DRAINING THEIR BLOOD!

Isn't this a keen little picture--Little Timmy's whittling and enjoying his new-fangled music box and Farmer John's busy sucking the blood out of human corpses in the barn. Think there's a "trespassers will be exsanguinated" sign on his property somewhere?

Fast forward about twenty years to Ray, one of our first victims, and his girlfriend off to a costume party. Ray naturally crashes the car…by almost hitting a cow in the middle of the road.

A COW in the road! Sweet mercy, what's next? Where's the banjo player? Who's going to be telling who they've "got a purty mouth?"

Who's gonna be squealing, like a pig, by the end of the movie?

They just rewrote Deliverance as a horror flick. Can you believe it?

Ray makes the most of being crashed in a cornfield and goes to drain the lizard. Whilst draining, he notices a scarecrow in the cornfield but seems to miss the HUMAN SKULL underneath the scarecrow's hat. Ray and his girlfriend are soon killed by a scythe, much like the one on top of little MacDonald's music box. Hmmm….

And then a rock band takes its lead singer back to the farm.

Seriously. That's what happens! The lead singer gets a sudden note from a fellow in an ill-fitting suit that looks strangely like Jake Busey (forget it, folks, it's NOT Jake Busey!) telling him that his mother has died and the funeral is back on the old family farm. Keep an eye on this for the next couple minutes…it's actually very important to the rest of the film.
