Satan's Blade, a Slasher film with the heart of a public access television program. With production values lower than that of a school play, here is a Slasher that exists solely to be discovered by those of whom love the genre to the point where cinema masochism is a blurred line that dares begs to be crossed. Cheesy, but not to the point of utter hysterics, Satan's Blade is laughable in its presentation. Entire scenes of dialogue shot from one angle with no cuts whatsoever, set decoration consisting of white walls and sometimes even a door, and sound design that is simply to cry for.
The deaths are as unnatural and laughable as one could find in even the most incompetent of films, and the tension is less tense than that of a broken rubber band. But hey, there're some tits, and, incompetent or not, some death, and in all honesty, if Satan's Blade weren't as bad as it is, then why would anyone even care? I suppose it is all of those things that give it that certain charm, that flare that can only come from a cheap, poorly crafted Slasher film. And it is that type of film that can often times entertain the most.
Here's to you, Satan's Blade, for you have given me quality entertainment, without actually providing the quality.
