MURDER LOVES KILLERS TOO
Sub-Genre- Slasher/Retro
In Attendance- Me
What's it About?- An old British narrator gives us some spiel about wild kids and how they're gonna die... enter a car full of sex crazed, party hungry kids driving to a getaway cabin to... wait. Why is the hot redhead screaming randomly? And what is she... is something wrong with her? You roofied her too early guys, now enjoy the annoying ride into the deep country with retard-o.
Once to the cabin, it takes about 4 minutes for someone to die, and another 2 for the second one to get bumped off... this killer wastes no time! There really is no plot here to speak of, hot chicks drinking, having sex, dying painfully... it's no muss no fuss slasher goodness (mostly) from here on out.
The Good- This movie is like a lot of the stuff I watched in the 80's; I watch it now and cringe at how bad some of it is, but I still cant help but love watching it. This movie is obviously a goofy homage to the mindless slasher flicks of the 80's; The acting was average to poor, the chicks were hot, random drinking and sex took center stage, plenty of blood and violence... it all felt very familiar and very fun.
On a side note, the movie was actually pretty tense once the final girl is all alone and being chased around, which surprised me for this being such a goofy movie.
The Bad- What was the purpose of the British narrator? That felt completely out of place and didn't belong at all. Someone's uncle must have needed a job.
The Downright Horrendous- What in the fuck was with the mentally challenged chick in the back seat? Was this her first time outside of the house, ever? She literally screamed and acted like a spaz for her entire screen time... "Wooo!" (make odd face, pump fists) "Aaaah!" (prentend you're on meth, act insane.) It's a shame that such a hot chick died off so quick, but I was glad... she was maybe the worst character ever written for any movie ever.
The Gory- All kinds of old school gore fx to be found here... it really did have an 80's feel to it.
The Naked- We get one naked hot blond, and it made me smile. The rest of the chicks were cute, alas they remained clothed.
Rating- C (5.5/10) This was a cheap, poorly made for the most part, 80's slasher homage which I found fun and definitely worth checking out. Clocking in at less than 1hr, 15 minutes long, you can't really go wrong if you want some quick horror fun though.Final Thoughts- There's just something about cute redheads...
