Shredder (2001)
7/10
The best "so-bad-it's-good" horror flick... ever!

Writing this, I'm laughing just thinking about the movie which I'm about to review. Shredder is filled with stereotypes, horrible acting, a bad plot, ridiculous twists, bad kills, and a hideous script… and I loved every minute of it! The movie is so dumb and strange that it's hard not to like it. This is what direct-to-video horror should be like—moronic and fun! While other direct-to-video movies like 2001 Maniacs are amazing films and subtly use their tongue-in-cheek humor, Shredder takes a much different approach; it's crap, and it knows it's crap.

The acting in Shredder is so atrocious that it's actually a joy to watch, although the lesbian girl wasn't too bad and the male lead was efficient. The kills in the movie are probably its best feature; each kill is absurd, twisted, and hilarious. During her death, one girl exclaims to her boyfriend, "I never loved you!" Another girl strangles to death on her scarf while hanging off a ski lift. The effects look so fake that they're laughable.

Extreme kudos to whoever put together this movie—it's a masterpiece of moronic, preposterous, comedic, direct-to-video horror that is not to be missed. Shredder is sure to go down as a classic that is stupid and, at the same time, somehow enjoyable. See this with your friends; it's sure to send you rolling on the floor laughing.
