Really enjoyed that. Wasn’t expecting a lot but it defo delivered.
thoroughly enjoyed this movie, classic camp slasher. love seeing jason alexander in everything tbh. however agree with some of the other reviews about all the male characters being predators and that most likely being down to weinstein
love it
I’d heard about this film for years, but now I’m wondering what the fuss was about. It just comes across as a cheap Friday the 13th rip off. Using shears as the killer’s weapon of choice is an interesting angle and some of the kills are decent, but for a film some bill as a classic, it was quite disappointing.
loved this movie 🍿
