Before Kristel's (Victoria Koblenko) father (Martijn Oversteegen) has
died in a carcrash, he had been working on a book about a
serialkiller who killed 8 children to enter hell 150 years ago. Now
Kristal, wanting to learn more about her father and his work, persuades
her friends to take a tour of the mine where this killer from one and a
half centuries ago has finally met his death. But once the young people
are down in the mine, things start to happen: the lift is out of order,
the group's guide (Serge-Henri Valcke) dies when trying to go for help and
is then decapitated by ... well, someone, one of the girls (Lara Toorop)
of the group suddenly trips thanks to some bad Exstasy (or was it), the
kids get horribly lost in the mines, and when they try to consult
Kristel's dead father via a ouija-board, they have to realize their
options are slim ... and soon enough, our kids really start dieing left
and right or being possessed by a spirit, and eventually Kristel finds out
that it is the child murderer from 150 years ago needing another eight
victims to find his way out of hell again.
Much slaughter follows until only Kristel and Mark (Kurt Rogiers), the
typically annoying goody two-shoes he-man hero of the group, are left
alive ... which is when Kristel figures everything out: the spirit is
really after his parents' gold and can only be killed by a methane
explosion. Fortunately, Krisel has just found a portion of the gold hidden
in a music box that belonged to his parents (but was later in Kristel's
father's possession) - and somehow she figures a way to make the music box
trigger a methane explosion and ... boom, the spirit's dead and our heroes
are saved !!!
There is really not much to say about this film: It's a typical slasher
like gazillions of others produced all around the world these days. It's
well enough crafted to stand up to or even beat most of the competition,
but at the same time it totally lacks inventiveness to make it anything
more than a mere slasher, let alone make it memorable. That's not to say Sl8n8
is a terribly bad movie, it's just nothing to write home about, and by
tomorrow I might have forgotten all about it ...
