Poor attempt at an 80s low budget horror film
22 April 2023
Just....wow. Grew up in the 80s, watched a LOT of poor quality horror films in my day from bad acting to terrible scripts to massive lack of logic from characters to lack of coherent stories, etc. This film tried to be I guess a nod to those 80s low budget / low end horror movies, so maybe in that respect it achieves what it was going for. I think what it achieved mostly was being even worse that most if not all of those 80s films. Even films like Slumber Part Massacre and The Mutilator from the 80s felt more real than this. So many scenes feel self-contained, shot and spliced into order later but feel like they were instead of you feeling any real actual movie continuity to things. Cut to random girl getting taken and killed. Cut to guy someone inside someone's bedroom right after in a locked house and random girl getting killed, etc etc. Fast guy with very good knowledge of where all these random girls would be that one day. It's like these scenes are tossed into the rest of the movie but aren't part of it almost. Horrific dialogue from basically everyone (maybe two clever lines the whole script) and truly some of the absolute worst acting I've every seen on screen. The 'party' is three girls sitting on couches, one bottle of wine.....no snacks, no music, stretches of silence as they sit there or the blonde one acts like an ass to the others.....great party. The blonde is relentlessly nasty and it's impossible to see how the others would want to be around her for five minutes, let alone her being a friend for any reason. Then they get kidnapped and the Killer tells them they have to kill one of them and he'll let the other two go.....no way that is logical at all, but it takes the blond less than a minute to start whacking the tied up one with a hammer lol. Seriously took seconds to decide to do it lol. There's THREE of you, untie the one and then jump the killer when he comes back. Nah, let's just kill the one friend right away and hope for the best LOL. Ending is even better. The 'main girl' is unable to crawl out of the house with gasoline poured everywhere. Killer is incapacitated behind her. Another friend (worst actress in a sea of horrible acting and boy is that saying something) comes in, decides to not even try to pull her 'friend' away from the gas and killer trying to light the gas as he struggles to use his lighter. Just leaves and runs outside to watch the house burn after he finally gets it lit. LOL. Had plenty of time to drag her out....just doesn't lol. Then it just.....ends. Thud. Blood? Yes. Killer? Good until the unmasking. Gratuitous nudity? For sure. Worth any of it? No. It's cute how many friends of the actors and crew gave this a good score (had to be). Have spent five minutes typing this review, that's more than you should waste trying to watch this movie, but hey, you do you.
