Back Slash (2005)

Back Slash; The new forward slash for internet killers everywhere
15 December 2007
The internet: a tool for recreation, education and murder. This is pure college campus slasher fodder, a gang of wannabe movie-makers are systematically being hunted down, strange too that it's only the fit young women that are, well, you've guessed it; being slashed.

Taking his victims from a local web-site of the "Hottest Girls on Campus", this is amateur night at the drive-in, while at the same time a good effort and a amusing attempt at this genre.

Director Kevin Campbell's first movie (yet to be seen, with anticipation) is the Cheerleader Ninjas, shot in 2002, this latest project "Back Slash" is a witty and fun episode of the worst kind of fun, but in a very good way.

Not a gore fest, but more T and A to keep your attention span from waning and with a half decent try at serious horror movie-making. Shot in and around Denver, Colorado, this has some nice touches of character development too, not your shallow one dimensional's here that are often seen in this genre by larger studios either. Some good camera work and a script that seems to have been thought out and not just thrown together.

Staring the talented beauty Gretchen Akers as Martha King, this is another face to keep an eye on in future works, and too, we should look forward to the works of this movie-maker; Kevin Campbell. No doubt as his reputation climbs so shall his movies, and no, they all won't be going straight to cable.
