I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It would have passed me by except for Cinemassacre. Yes, we all know it's on a low-er budget, with a script that could be polished more. However, it had a lot going for it effects-wise, and overall cinematography.
Yes, I wish there was more breasts and pu$$y shots, but the movie is a Thriller, not a pornographic film. I think they struck the right amount of 80's with a perfect amount of contemporary slasher genre flicks.
There's Sharknado (and it's sequels) out there, if you're really missing the 90210 guy, and Tara weird-boob-stomach girl.
I'll take this one. It entertained the hell outta me. -

It is extremely rare. I'm talking 1 in every 50 horror movies made in the last 25 years I watch that impress me and that I love instantly and this is one of them.
Right after I watched it I thought this is a love letter to '80s camp counselor slasher movies which is why I loved it so much and on such a deep level. It spoke to me in a sincere, honest, and genuine way.
What I mean by that is the director cares about these movies and loves these movies as much as I do and it shows in how he crafted this very nostalgic in a very specific way slasher film that has heart in this way in it's ode to these films and also it does it's own thing with its unique story of the killer and all that the character has with it.
This movie totally captures this kind of film so accurately that I've never watched a horror movie made since Jason X that captures this kind of film so accurately.
And that kill of that young bitch girl is the best kill I've seen in a slasher movie since the 80! Amazingly creative kill. I've never seen that kill in a movie before. He bends her body all the way opposite of where it's supposed to be. Brilliant, even genius idea.
