31 Days of Horror (Films) - Day 17

SHREDDER - Netflix DVD mail order subscription

If you shred, you’re dead! *

Somebody is killing off all the obnoxious snowboarders poaching the closed (and possibly haunted, or so the locals claim) Rocky Summit ski resort.

Welcome to the world of Shredder, where being a snowboarder is hazardous to your health.

Snowsports are sorely underrepresented in horror movies. Sadly, this effort doesn’t up the ante all that much.

A veritable paint-by-numbers slasher affair teeming with mediocre acting, lots of over ethusiastic use of outdated slang, beyond stereotyped stoner boarders, and ho-hum kill scenes are intermingled with okay riding and skiing sequences (this ain’t no Aspen Extreme or Hot Dog, though).

The major takeaway: KNOW THE CODE!!!


*(BTW, the producers really dropped the (snow)ball by not using that as the tagline in the trailer).
