Good low budget slasher
Caught this on TV, surprised I had not heard of it. A decent little slasher film with some emerging young stars in the cast. Not very gory but feels like a good old school slasher. Produced by Kevin Williamson who had a hand in Scream and I know what you did last summer!

Rather bland 80's Slasher
Well thought I'd give this old early 80's Slasher a go. Most slasher films of the time are very similar to this. Plain stalk and slash stuff. There is quite a lot of character build up for a change though. It has a couple of scenes that stand out and a couple of attempts at humour more in line with Slasher films of the 90's. Sadly though the killer is rather dull and without any real motive it seems. The scariest thing about him is his hair cut.
One for those who enjoy 80's Slasher films, even if they are quite bad.

One for the Slasher fans
A very good early 80's slasher film with some original kills, even by todays standards! It did feel a little bit long and slow at times but it has plenty of red herrings and quite a twist for a very early slasher film. The poster alone stuck in my head from an early age for quite a while. Not overly gory but still a very enjoyable film for slasher fans. Just seen the lead character was the blonde girl in little house on the prairie.

Artistic Slasher
A very stylish Slasher film that is very different to the norm. I'm not sure if this was a remake of the old Slasher film or not? What makes this stand out is a great performance from Elijah Wood. It's also quite shocking rather than a tongue in cheek horror as most Slasher films fall into. Also the fact the view point of the majority of the film is through the eyes of the killer. Something better and varied to most horror films.
