I love the 1980's and what's the greatest thing about
the 1980's ? Is it the post-punk bands, the colorful fashion, the girls
big hair, the synth
music, the doped up athletes, the last days of the Cold War, the emerging
of The Pixies, the VHS banned films hysteria ... or is it the US
Slasher genre ? Just like with the Gialli genre of the (mostly) 1970's
i would like to see every 1980's Slasher ever made.
There's something about them and the altered laws of physics in them,
as a slowmoving freak killer always being able to round up fast
running athlete teenagers, and the genre had its own rules about The
Final Girl and to always turn your back to a knocked-out psycho killer.
Later films like Scary Movie made fun of the genre but already in the
80's there were slashers that made fun of themselves, as "Cutting
Class".
"Masterblaster, that's the name of the game"
This is a Survival Paintball
game slasher taking place somewhere in the US southern
woods where ex-Vietnam soldier Jeremy or Hank (Jeff
Moldovan) is our main protagonist. He rides his bike down to take part
in the "The Master Blaster Grand National" with a 50 000 USD
prize
to the winner, and the contestants have all won their regional games
to qualify. There are Jeremy, Police woman Samantha with an underbite
(Donna Rosae), MA fighter D'Angelo (Joe Hess), the Judge Mike (Robert
Goodman), a couple of rednecks and there's Lewis the pop singer
(Peter Lundblad, who also sings two songs on the soundtrack - is it
the Swedish "Ta mig till havet" Peter Lundblad ? No probably
not).
As soon as the contest starts a psycho killer starts
picking off the contestants, and there's a pretty good fight between
Jeff Moldovan's
Jeremy and Joe Hess D'Angelo. Both were martial arts experts i suppose.
