Well Deserved Praise
good back-story, and good acting
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
The Hackers are a murderous family consisting of an old man A.J. Hacker and his two imbecilic sons Arnie and Eldon.Our "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"-inspired trio of redneck killers enjoys butchering hitchhikers,fishermen and people who don't want to pay them for their shitty job.This is basic premise of ultra low-budget SOV slasher flick "The Hackers" made in 1988 in and around Croswell,Michigan.The film is obviously cheaply made and badly acted,but there are some fun killings here including throat slashing with a beer mug.The scene where Arnie and Eldon are having fun at the playground is extremely silly and funny.If you are into no-budget regional horror cinema or slasher completist you may want to give "The Hackers" a chance.6 bloody killings out of 10.
