comment
Slash is a 2002 South African Slasher Movie.Joseph "Mac" MacDonald is the lead singer of the rock band Slash, which is currently on tour. When his aunt dies, the band make a detour to attend the funeral. While the band clash with the rural sensibilities of the locals, one of the farmhands tells them of an ancient tradition where Human Sacrifice was used to improve the year's crops. That night, a scarecrow-masked Serial Killer begins stalking the band and collecting their blood...This film was distributed by Universal in Brazil & Germany, and Warner Bros. in the Netherlands.No relation to the real life musician.

Gruesome Grandparent

comment
Gruesome Grandparent: Mac watched his grandfather hide a body before seemingly perishing in a fire. It turns out he's not only still alive but the killer, and tries to corrupt his grandson into joining him. Ironically, he seems to actually love his grandson, even forgiving him for accidentally causing the aforementioned fire.

The Family That Slays Together: The MacDonald men have been doing blood sacrifices for at least two generations, and their goal in the film is to convince Mac to join in. He pretends to go along with it by "killing" his girlfriend with a fake knife before taking his dad and grandpa out.
