Reviews

By JPV852

Starts off well enough with decent suspense and kill (not to mention gratuitous nudity in a day for night shot no less) but the rest of the film was pretty boring, not to mention some annoying characters and bad acting. Despite being fairly short, I found most of this to be rather dull and a twist that wasn't very effective. No wonder this early 80s slasher had been forgotten. **1.25/5**
