While director Jess Franco is most widely known for mixing sleaze, nudity and horror in Eurotrash flicks that range from amazing to awful this here is his 80s American-style slasher flick. It's also one of his better efforts as far as I'm concerned and delivers what fans of these stalk and kill movies are looking for. A crud-faced killer, no skimping on the gore-quotient(the big money-shot highlight involves a gal on a huge circular-saw/stonecutter thing getting decapitated!), a twist ending and we even get a disco scene featuring a ridiculously great tune called "Shake Ya Baby!". On the downside there's some horrible 80s fashions and terrible acting but if you love slashers this is pretty much the norm. Check it out for a good time, just watch out for the boob stabbed through the nipple scene and the inexplicably studdly Latino-lover character.
