Home Sweet Home (1981)
Fine
Home Sweet Home has its moments, but ultimately suffers from an awful story. It has some nice death scenes, but little else. Only watch if your in the mood not for a good movie but some fun scenes of death and blood. It's pretty awesome, but fails in the end. Watch only if in the mood. Most of the soundtrack s lifted from Mad Max. The plot is about a killer who escapes from the asylum and kills a bunch of people. Not much else. Very good if in the mood. A lot of good effects. Very bad acting. The killer is very buff. He is very creepy. Has a maniacal laugh. Shoots PCP in his tongue. Very bad movie, but good deaths. Fun for horror fans. I watched it on thanksgiving, where it takes place, and had a blast. No DVD available, but VHS is good.
Trick or Treats (1982)
Laughably Stupid and Boring
It is unlikely there has ever been a horror film less effective than Trick or Treats. The killer is more annoying than scary, and the final girl is unlikeable. The film has little suspense, gore, or plot. The shots are badly lit, and mainly focus on the final girl's ass. The story takes place in Los Angeles, where a man is taken to an asylum by his wife so she get his money. Seven years later he breaks free to get revenge. However, the wife's away at a party in Las Vegas with her new husband and has left their son with a babysitter. The son is an amateur magician, and he proceeds to play tricks on the babysitter, until eventually the father breaks in and the babysitter thinks the strange calls and noises are the son's doing. The film was directed by Gary Graver, a cinematographer who worked with Orson Welles on many films and was apparently good friends with him. Welles is credited in the film as "Magic Consultant".
