Jenson has just become engaged and posted her announcement in
the newspaper. The problem is there is a serial killer who preys
on newly engaged women. After being rejected at the alter himself,
the vengeance filled killer is out to make all women pay for what
was done to him.
One of the earliest 80's rip off slasher flicks, this film
has only a few things going for it.
One, a pretty good reason for a killer's revenge motive,
it is pretty original. Two, a tremendous ending. Three, a few
kills that are right out of urban legend myths, the opening scene
in a movie theater was also used in Scream I believe, or
Scream 2 who the hell can tell with those suck-ass films?
And finally, this little gem is the first feature film of one
Tom Hanks, that’s right kiddies, little Tommy did a slasher, never
heard him mention that when he won an Oscar or two did ya?
Although slow at times, this film’s not too bad, there is some
decent slasher gore and a lot of chasing towards the end, but
there is enough to get you through the night. Throw in a couple
pair of boobs and like I said, a very decent ending and you don't
have too bad of a film, even if Tom Hanks thinks so.
I would much rather be in a bad slasher film any day than in Joe
Versus the Volcano. Worth a nostalgia rent if you can find
it.
4/10
