Zero Stars
This is an absolutely dishonorable depressing piece of trash. It's nothing but ninety minutes of teenagers being stabbed, strangled, impaled, mutilated and butchered. It's literally about the killing.
Thirteen people die throughout that ninety minutes. If you do the math that's one person every seven minutes. The majority of them are women. There was a time during the era of horror films where the camera sympathized with the damsel in distress. Even though Evelyn Ankers was attacked by the monster we want her to survive. Now we see the killing through the eyes of the culprit. The filmmakers force us to "enjoy" this. What's most disturbing to me is that this is called entertainment. Violence is not the issue but if it's mindless violence it's just that. Mindless.
The film is directed by Joseph Zito who is and has never been anything but an exploitation director. In the last sixteen years he has only directed two films and hasn't done anything since 2003. I really hope he is never able to return to the director's chair.
Normally I try to look for something good. There is nothing good in this picture. One man's garbage is still garbage.
