A fun old time slasher film that actually had a plot
This movie has very fun cameos from well-known horror actors like Robert Englund, Brad Douriff, and Danielle Harris. Rebecca Gayheart and Loretta Devine are also very good in their roles. Fairly strong performances from supporting cast members Jared Leto, Joshua Jackson, Tara Reid, and Michael Rosenbaum. Unfortunately, I think the lead actress/final girl here (Alicia Witt) is too mysterious in her motivations for a lot of the film (which, in fairness to her, is a problem with the script) and doesn't give enough emotional vulnerability for the audience to really connect with and root for her. Overall, still a fun 90s slasher, but not as good as the sum of its parts.
Old college kids get picked off by a L. L. Bean parka wearing psycho, who stages their kills based on urban legends. It’s got it all. Dumb faces. Off screen kills. A staggeringly stupid reveal. Not bad enough to not finish but bad enough to say it’s
Fun cast, predictable script.
Predictably predictable
