"Deadly Manor" is an odd little entry that came out during the end of the slasher craze, and while it is a fun throwback to the 80's heyday and plus mixed in with something quite perverse, but sadly it's mostly a misfire.
The plot a group of 20 something teens travel across the open road and get stranded at an old mansion, which turns to be a funeral home, seemingly on their own they start to get picked off one by one by someone in a white mask.
While it does start out quite well, we get an interesting bunch of characters and the mansion is very creepy looking and when they start looking round the house and finding various clues to the original owner, was quite interesting, but sadly this soon runs out of steam very quickly and then we get endless strange scenes of talking and freaky dream sequences to pad out the running time. Then when we finally get to the murders, they aren't exactly exciting and due to the poor lighting, it's hard to tell what exactly is happening.
The one saving grace is the final climax when the killer is revealed, which actually is quite funny and over the top and the burned face makeup was actually quite fun, but very unrealistic and bad. The killer(s) do chew the scenery perfectly though each more hammy than the other.
All in all an odd entry in the genre and only see if you're a big fan of slasher movies.
