Loved this movie can't believe I have never seen this until now!
A bit run-of-the-mill, but a decent slasher with some familiar faces. The Tom Savini effects are great, as always. Its production predates the more popular Friday the 13th, but is very similar to it.
There are like 6 fake jump scares and the first kill (no the prostitute doesn’t count) is like 50 minutes in. Absolutely shit
i liked it , couldnt miss a second
i enjoyed this slasher movie, it had a great score and good practical effects. the lighting for the night time could have been a little more brighter.If your a fan of Friday the 13th, sleep away camp or the magic behind tom savini and like jump scares i would highly recommend this movie. also i would like to state, i am glad i finally got to see this piece of horror cinema because it is very hard to find (thanks again shudder, please bring more slasher movies to this streaming service)
