Brad P This film might not reinvent the slasher wheel but it does take plenty of hard whacks in an effort to smash it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible. It is poorly written even for an 80's horror. No scares and very little kills. The acting is awful and the music is bad. It is like some gave their sister a chance to sing. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Recently they've been releasing a lot of these forgotten horror flux on ritzy new blu ray mega discs. Lucky for me because as a kid I used to live at Palmer video, Metro video and West Coadt video amongst others. I fell in live wi th h the wild artwork on the covers but rarely took them home. Since I was only allowed a rental or two I stuck to my favorites. So I'm definitely happy they are rereleasing them. But what I'm discovering is that a lot of them are just trash, the right kind of trash if you're lucky. This entry I felt indifferent about the mask is creepy and some of the kills are effective but its mostly generic. It's pretty basic as an axe wielding maniac terrorizes a small town while two computer nerds try and solve the crimes before they become the next victims. The movie is clunky and mostly unengaging. But it's well enough to pass a rainy afternoon especially if you're desperate like I am for hidden retro gems. 2.5/5 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid little slasher. It's one of the lost ones, that was impossible to track down for a long time. Which is unfair, as it's about as effective as the best in the genre has to offer. Great ending. I'm a total virgin to José Ramón Larraz, and this is making me want to go back and check out all his other stuff. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/20 Full Review Audience Member Really good slasher flick of the late 80's. I was surprised, i was expecting total bleh, but got something much better. Pretty creepy, cool music (some of it resembles madman), & pretty cool deaths. I wish the credits instead of playing that song, kept the horror music going but whatevers.
