Warning: Spoilers
SHREDDER starts off with a great first kill but quickly travels downhill faster than the people do in the movie on their snowboards.

In SHREDDER, a bunch of young twits make their way up to Rocky Summit, a deserted ski area that one of the parents of a aforementioned twit is going to buy. Twit. That's my word of the day.

On their way there, they stop at a gas station. The girls have to use the bathroom. Upon exiting, they notice a guy outside the door who may or may not be who he seems. The girls, being the twits they are, invite him along to join them at the ski lodge. And the guys, being the twits that they are, don't really put up much of a fuss.

When they get to Rocky Summit, it is all chained up and they, the twits, have to break in. Bad choice. They should of just stayed in the car and headed back down the mountain. That way I didn't have to sit through an hour and 20 minutes (give or take) to see where the movie was gonna go. And, like I said, it went downhill.

Seems the mountain is haunted by the ghost of a young girl who was killed when some snowboarders, no doubt twits themselves, ran her off a ski trail while she was skiing. Now someone is going around killing snowboarders who don't know how to follow the rules of skiing/snowboarding. Who could it be? The real question would be, "who cares?"

I will admit that the film does have some funny moments. Like when the one twit gets hung on the ski lift. Everyone seems oblivious to the fact that there is a dead twit who just keeps going around and around on the ski lift. That was humorous.

Kind of sad though that the best two deaths come at the beginning and end of the movie. Although the last death is a bit cheesy. And I found it psychically impossible for the killer to be who the killer was.

All and all, I cannot recommend 'SHREDDER'. It is full of the usual clichés of dumb twits doing the dumb things that they do in horror movies. At one point one of the twits says, "The next time we're being stalked by a serial killer, don't go into the basement." No, but it is okay to wander off by yourself and leave people alone when their is a killer on the loose. Like I said, they are TWITS!!!
