Slasher (2004)

Don't waste your money

I did not care for this movie..fell asleep twice..not worth the $20+ I paid for this April 23, 2008

Dealer

As a car dealer in today's market it was a very scary movie. I have a dealership near an airport and the dealership in the movie reminded me a little of ours. It was so depressing to see the "slasher", a human being live his life this way and in my business I see a lot of individuals like this. Even more depressing the owner of the dealership like so many trying to make ends meet hiring an individual who will do anything to sell a car. As always the less fortunate such as lower income and bad credit customers are the target for these vultures. All in all the movie is actual and truthful of what the director was depicting.

portrait of a tortured soul

I wasn't sure what to rate this film because I have mixed feelings about it. On one level it's a fast-paced look at how a used car salesman makes a living cheating poor black people (among others) out of their money. On the other hand, the Slasher is a deeply disturbed father never home for his wife and kids. I found myself getting angry that nobody cared enough for the star of this film to confront him about what he did to himself; in fact, in the featurette you can see the filmmaker trying to make him stand up straight for the camera while dead drunk. I kept wondering how his daughters felt about growing up with an alcoholic father with a beer in his hand every morning. I would very much have liked to see this film end with a scene in which the Slasher's so-called friends and the director gather around him and say, "We're taking up a collection to get you into rehab before you drink yourself to death. If you don't care about yourself any more than you do about the people you fleece, at least think about what you are doing to your family." January 27, 2007

Slasher

Not worth the money. Too much talking and filler added to what could have been a 30 minute movie dragged out over 90 minutes November 28, 2006

When you go car shopping, you automatically know it is going to be a very long process. As a society that takes our cars as a status symbol, we should also be aware of the tactics that are used to get us to buy a car beyond our means. Additionally, I came to realize that Michael Bennet must have ADHD. He could not stop talking or moving. Also, people with ADHD usually self-medicate. He drinks pretty non-stop and is a chain smoker. I have boys who have been diagnosed with ADHD, and this movie gave me a glimpse into an adult with this disorder! There really should be a follow-up documentary on Michael Bennet/ April 9, 2006
