You had to have grown up during the 80s to fully appreciate what the filmmakers did here. Back during the slasher film craze where mistreated, deformed kids grew up to become hulking serial killers made for some great fun at the drive in. Every week a new slasher movie came out from Prom Night, Terror Train, Final Exam, and even the famous of them all, Friday the 13th which gave us Jason over and over again. There was always some warped back story to why the killer became a killer and the plays out here. The eery music added to thrills which made also made those movies intense.
Fast forward to this one and you've got the same formula reconditioned for today. The killer this time is a mistreated little boy named Johnny who gets resurrected when some dumb teens mess with a place they're not supposed to and take something that's not theirs. The massacre begins and the make up effects were inventive here including some vicious but creative kills. Tom Savini would be impressed. There's no real music score here though which can lead to some slow, dull moments in between. However, with a title like this one has, you'll get what you paid for.
