The next great psycho horror slasher has given a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them.

Pretty great little slasher with some nice twists, though the final girl ended up being EXTREMELY predictable, Zelda was very underused, and it wasn't bloody enough for my taste when it comes to slashers. Still worth quite a few viewings though. 7.5/10

I really like this one. A sharp, clever, fun little movie. Very well done and thought out. Just a lot of fun with Robert Englund in the Dr. Loomis role.

Robert being in a role like that was pretty cool, I admit.

I'm still praying that we SOMEHOW get an Uncut version sometime soon. It just...feels so WRONG that this was so bloodless.

Did someone say Zelda Rubinstein? I think you just lured me in. I feel like I've seen the name pop up on Netflix, but the poster art turned me off a bit. If it's still there, I'll consider taking a look at it.

Never fully judge a movie by its poster. ;) It's really good but sadly, its mostly bloodless despite having a rather large bodycount. Still, I like the story and some of the characters and it has some little twists in it that I enjoyed so I say its worth seeing at least once. Pissed we never got a second one though.

As long as the acting and suspense is good, I'm content. I don't need a bloodbath to satisfy me.

Well there's only a couple of really suspenseful scenes and the acting was decent enough.

This was an utterly enjoyable slasher effort. One of the more impressive aspects of this one is the fact that there's plenty of utterly clever send-ups of what's at stake in a slasher film that aren't all that obvious which gets spelled out here. From the pointing out the clique that gets targeted to all the pre-attack tormenting that takes place around the town, training and working out for the chase as well as the behind-the-scenes planning for the whole event at the location and how to plan out a typical slasher-film style battle is all unique and quite original in concept and execution. Both of those areas are explored fully in here as the attempt to explain the thinking behind what is obviously a heat-of-the-moment type of situation that doesn't really inspire a lot of thinking when it really comes down to it makes for a rather engaging series of events throughout here as he goes about his plans. The actual execution of the plan, both in the early attack scene at the library as well as the ambushes at the diner make for some rather great stuff, while the big moment here is the actual final stalking of the group in the house as the crew attempts to help them deconstruct the evening before it happens as they try to stop him from going after the group and killing them which is all done in fine fashion with a lot to like here throughout this with a lot of explosive stalking, fantastic action and plenty of wonderful deconstructions of the slasher film norms that allows for a frenetic sequence that's tense, chilling and quite fun. While some of the stuff doesn't work here, namely the fact that this is supposed to be funny when it clearly isn't as the comedy instead comes from the absurdity of the situation rather than anything really done in the film itself so it can get rather annoying thinking this is funny when it really isn't, and as well the fact that the majority of the gore comes off-screen does get old a little fast. Otherwise, this was a rather impressive and enjoyable outing.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.

I'm probably going to give this a rewatch sometime soon. I haven't seen it in years, but since so many people seem to love it, I need to see if my thoughts on it change, since I don't remember being that impressed by it at all.

I would've liked it more if it had at least a little bit more bloodshed. It was incredibly dry for a slasher with a decent sized bodycount. There are a couple dozen slashers I like more than this one though I do appreciate what they were going for.

I agree that the bloodshed was pretty lacking, and that the scares were too as a whole, even once it turned into a legit horror film in the third act. That said, this is definitely an underrated gem. Nathan Baesel and Angela Goethals were both amazing as the leads, the story threw some great curveballs, and it was pretty damn funny on top of it. It's a film made for, and by, horror movie geeks, and I've always had a great time watching it.

My full review is here.
