slayer starts in the south american rain forest where captain hawk (casper van dien) and his men are attacked by a bunch of vampires and they barely manage to escape with their lives. jump forward six months later and hawk is called to see colonel weaver (lynda carter) who informs him there has been other reported sightings of vampires and that his ex wife and her goddaughter dr. laurie williams (jennifer odell) has gone out there on an expedition to study beetles and worried she ask hawk to take a squad of soldiers back to south america and officially provide back up to captain grieves (kevin grevioux) and his men while at the same time unofficially look for laurie and not get killed by the vampires who have decided to venture out of the caves and into the civilised world. edited and written and directed by kevin vanhook this is yet another poorly made sci fi channel original which just isn not very good in any respect. the humourless script has nothing going for it as far as i could see and it one of those modern vampire films which decides to pick and choose the traditional vampire film lore rules it wants to use like these vampires can be killed with stakes through the heart and have fangs but at the same time can freely walk around in sunlight and they do not sleep in coffins. the film moves along at a reasonable pace but it all very dull and bland and lifeless. the story is poor and just rather stupid and the character are terrible and the dialogue is forgettable and there very little here to recommend. slayer also tries to have some sort of ecological message as the head vampire claims they are only starting to kill human beings because of their systematic destruction of the rain forest where they have lived in secret for centuries and unfortunately there no conviction there and is more like a throwaway line to fill the time than a serious statement. there isn not enough exploitation content and is a rather unsatisfying way to spend 90 minutes of your time. the makers do not even do anything with the jungle setting and hell i do not expect predator (1987) but i hoped for a bit more than this. director vanhook has made several horror films all of which i have seen have been equally poor and i am sorry but he does nothing here and turns in a throughly forgettable looking and feeling film. there no atmosphere or tension and as for genuine scares forget about it. the gore is restrained and there are some bitten necks and a bit of spraying blood but it nothing we haven not seen before or has much impact. there also a huge vampire monster creature at the end but it doesn not look that impressive and it gets itself killed far too easily. with a supposed budget of about $2 and 000 and 000 this actually had a decent sized amount of money spent on it but it still a rubbish film and it reasonably well made but nothing special or memorable. the acting sucks and i am sorry but that the way i saw it. slayer is yet another poor and stupid and boring made for tv sci fi channel rubbish that i simply can not recommend. not to be confused with the rather fine one time british video nasty gore film the slayer (1982) which is 100 times better than this so track that down and watch that instead.
