Just ok
While I love horror movies, i'm more of a "creature feature" fan than a "slasher flick" one. That being said this one turned out pretty decent. It brings back to mind some of the slasher films of the eighties. The acting was decent and the effects were ok. The concept was pretty good- some friends go to a horror themed park (like many towns have on Halloween) and a killer is hiding in the midst. If you enjoy movies like "Halloween" or "Friday the 13th" you'll enjoy this one, too. The ending was a little weird, but, as with most of these types of films, left it open for a sequel (and knowing Hollywood, there will probably be one). Overall, this was an entertaining horror film that gives you what you expect. Worth a watch.

I'm Chucky, wanna play?
A different kind of Slasher icon in a possessed doll on a killing spree so he can take human form again. Very tongue in cheek with a lot of humour and sarcasm. Plenty of quotes still stand out from the film. It's probably the best of the series including the many sequels and reboots.

What's your favourite Scary movie?
The film that breathed new life in to the Slasher film franchise. It's cool, slick, funny and gory in equal measure. The cast is great and the story is done really well. Will have you guessing who the Killer is and enjoying the ride to the very end.

One of the worst low budget slashers I've seen. Even going well past the it's so bad, it's good in a funny way. This Austrian offering from 2005 really does look and feel like an 80's slasher. The script, acting, gore, lighting everything is just bad! The main character speaks and acts like she has an IQ of about 50. Skip past this....

Campy Acting
Mindfuck
This is one of the most unique 80's slashers. The whole film is filled with laughable acting. The kills are great and the characters are likable, for the most part. It is one of those instances where the original in a series is very different than the sequels it spawned, but I still love it every bit as much.

Avoid!
Hmm Left on the shelf would be a better sub title. A very weak low budget entry in the series. No where near as good as the first and the 2nd wasn't bad for a straight to DVD sequel. It has a fair amount of gore, a couple of inventive kills and that's about it? Turn the other way and find a better slasher film.
