8/10
Murder loves genre too
11 June 2009
I agree with everything the others have said. As an 80's slasher it has the lot, blades, chicks, bad hair, soundtrack(kept in house, might be wrong there)god it even has sex, breasts and a pool table. But what does this bring to the table that so many have failed to deliver? To be honest very little. But what it does do is it doesn't try too hard to be what it isn't and, importantly, it knows what it is.

A low budget killer-on-the-prowl-unsuspecting-victims type movie. And it delivers! Way more than some accomplished studio efforts. There are some genuine moments of tension with the roving/following camera which has been well orchestrated.

I dare anyone not to feel the tension as our heroine reaches for the key within possible view of the killer, it just goes on and on, but never tiring.

Dare I say "Cult classic" perhaps? For me it is a little private gem and I will keep it safe because it's one of those films that stays true to it's source and it's audience, and it does deserve an audience.

Catch it if you can because it would be murder to miss it..
