Review of Shredder

Shredder (2001)
3/10
Editing must only be a word to this production staff
5 November 2006
Going into this movie and knowing that it was going to be a typical B movie slasher film I didn't set my expectations that high. I also wasn't surprised when I was introduced into the typical cast of this genre. There was the whore, the stoner, the nerdy kid, the less of a whore girl, the main male character, and of course the "good girl". And for the most part the acting in this movie wasn't bad enough to make me shove red hot pokers into my eyes after watching the movie. In fact a lot of the scenes were comical and I definitely had a good laugh at the expense of the characters on screen.

Like most slasher movies you get a good sense of who is going to "get it first". I almost considered giving this movie a better rating 3/4 of the way into the movie.

Without giving too much away the advice I give to those out there that are seriously thinking about renting this movie is to turn it off before the last chapter. You will thank me later and be spared the sight of one of the worse special effects I've seen in a long time. I mean did they really think that it looked good in the editing room or that it would look remotely realistic to the viewing public? The only explanation I have is that either the editing staff was high when they reviewed the footage or simply ran out of funds near the end of the movie. But then again you get what you pay for and I'm glad I didn't pay much. I'm sure my DVD player will require extensive therapy after being force to subject itself to the punishment that is known as Shedder.
