5/10
Not the best
23 June 2016
Spoilers: This film contains Joe Estevez Woohoo – it's another slasher film. In lover's lane, two jocks and their girlfriends are brutally stabbed by an murderer and only one of the jocks survives. The other is the brother of the local deputy, who has a rocky relationship with his father. You've also got Joe Estevez as the chief of police also trying to deal with an escape from the local asylum. There's an FBI agent in there too, plus other folks I'd imagine.

For a slasher film, there's an awful lot of interaction between the characters I mentioned and not a lot of actual slashing. The films also seem to tie together about three different plot lines and just ended up raising about a billion questions.

Without spoiling the film, let me say that when that other character did that thing, was it a coincidence that the other character turned up at the same time to do that other thing? Or, in the same scene, how come one character managed to do that thing to himself while the other character did that other thing to that other character? How come that guy didn't notice the other guy doing that thing? And how many characters have (things)? Or (thing) from that (thing)? (thing) (thing) (thing) (thing) (thing).

Loads of red herrings in this one. Things pick up when Robert Z'Dar and Linnea Quigley turn up. It's definitely not the worst slasher film I've watched, and it's free from any of that smug Scream self-referential crap. It just tried to cram too much drama, and not enough scares.
