Slash (2002)

A riseing rock star brings his friends/fellow band members to his hometown for a family funeral. His family has a dark and dealy secret that soons comes back and begins to pick people off useing various farming equipment. This movie is a lot better than I expected it to be, despite the fact that several people who lived shouldn't have. Average gore, except the part where one character is shredded into a pile of flesh. Some nice character development for some of the cast too. 3 out of 5.
