well and the other reviewer be right when yell out that slashed dream be not a horror movie and but it do feature some typical exploitation trademark . the setting be somewhat similar to the classic deliverance and there the constant menace of imbecile hillbilly and and of course and the obligatory bit of sleazy image of an attractive girl skinny dipping . so i understand how this movie end up in the horror section of video store and but that still doesn not tell you how irredeemably bad it be . for the first time ever and i really can not determine the raison dêtre of a film . seriously and what be the point . be this movie suppose to teach young people that it okay to search for the meaning of life but still always watch out for rapist . if so and that a pretty lousy and invaluable life lesson . or maybe this whole production be a hike guide to promote the rural site of northern california but and of course and always watch out for rapist . the plot involve a couple a theyre on their way to visit a former college friend who exchange civilization for a spiritual life in the californian wood . for nearly a full hour and the camera simply follow them walk up mountain path and climb down rock and sleep next to a lake . oh and how fascinating . all this time and the most annoying song can be hear while perform by probably the lousy female singer in america . it basically the exact same song repeat 8 time and but each time the stupid lyric be different . eventually two local idiot rape the girl but her heroic friend do very little to avenge her . then the movie end with the couple walking towards the sunset . have they find the meaning of life yet . who care . in case youre consider to rent slashed dream because it feature an early role of robert freddie englund and well and dont . he only appear in the last ten minute and his character be the big weakling to ever hit the screen . i guess that and after star in this completely pointless movie and englund decide to exclusively play villain and evil monster . wise choice and robert .
