This feels like a down the line cross between a slasher and a giallo and it works as both. There are a few grisly chainsaw deaths (the only form of killing in this picture) which are all fun to watch. And like most 80s horror you get some nice nudity from time to time. It was neat seeing Paul (Bluto from POPEYE (1980)) Smith, who could be the killer. The motivation of the killer is never explained well, I mean, at least you don't know why he's suddenly killing after all these years. It's not that important, I guess, that we know but it would have been nice if that had been thought out. But who comes into these pictures wanting a great story, right? Just bring on the fun, gory kills and some boobs every once in a while and give us 90 minutes of fun and this one does that.

The chainsaw isn't the only form of killing. Remember the woman in the beginning that gets axed to death and the one that roller skated into the sheet of glass? Also, how about the woman that has a knife plunged through her head on the waterbed and the ending where the killer is shot in the head and the boy has his balls ripped off.
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about those which is odd because those kills sound AMAZING! I might have to re-watch this on fast forward and stop for the kills.
