Plot:

Becca is a young model who lives with her friends. She is passionate about lingerie and adult toys. She is trying to gain fame by vlogging (video blogging) in a social network. She and her other friends never worry about putting their personal information in social networks, open to thousands of accepted friends whom they don’t know at all. One day, she and a friend of hers blog about another friend and soon she receives a mysterious video comment from another girl.

Becca’s boyfriend visits her one day and tells her that he is moving to Germany. He does not change his decision after Becca requests him several times. At the same time, one of her friends was making out with her boyfriend in the car, when they hear a suspicious sound. Soon, a stranger kills both of them.

Becca’s boyfriend comes back to her and they have sex. Then the boyfriend leaves without changing his previous decision. Becca goes to take a shower and then she hears some noise in her room. Coming back, she finds the necklace of her friend who was killed, on her bed. She doesn’t know about the incident till then and can’t find anyone responsible to keep the necklace there.

She wants to change her place and visits some agent, but that man wants to take advantage of her. She barely escapes from there.

She soon gets a lot of spam messages from that friend. Her other friends get a friend request from a mysterious person who named him/herself as ‘/’. Becca calls and then visits her web server manager to know the whereabouts of her friend who is killed, but the manager can’t give her anything.

Then, the girl who posted a video comment on Becca’s blog gets kidnapped by someone. Then Becca receives a video message, where she sees that the girl is kept captive and is beaten by the kidnapper, who later kills the girl.

Soon, the killer goes after each of Becca’s friend one by one and kills them. He/she continues this till he/she reaches Becca.

My reviews about Backslasher:

First of all, I didn’t like the movie Backslasher at all, and I guess nobody else will. There is nothing at all in this movie to like. I felt like I’ve wasted the whole time watching it. Surely, Backslasher can secure its place in your worst-movies-of-all times list.

The plot is very weak and the screenplay is worse. Actually, at the ending I couldn’t find the point of this movie at all. I felt no sense of suspense in the whole movie Backslasher.

The acting were horrible and the dialogues were poor in Backslasher. The make ups were also poor as well. The bloods and the effects of killing were awful. The lighting and the camera works are one of the worsts I’ve ever seen.

The only not-so-bad thing about Backslasher is its music and some sound effects.

There are a few nude scenes in this movie which makes it not suitable for kids.

So, overall, watching Backslasher was a total waste of time. In a rude way, this movie is not worth watching for even 10 minutes. Will I recommend watching Backslasher to anyone? That will be a big NO.
