This is a pretty entertaining slasher flick from late in the slasher game. There's actually not much slashing going on since the killer mostly uses an elaborately souped-up motorcycle to electrocute his victims but there's lots of burning/melty head gore to go around. Also doesn't skimp on the boobs since it takes place at Spring Break in Miami Beach(hence the alias WELCOME TO SPRING BREAK). My favorite aspect of this is the biker gang named THE DEMONS(complete with jackets emblazoned with their name in the same font as the classic Italian gorefest) who kinda go from being complete scumbags to accidentally becoming almost heroic by the films conclusion. John Saxon also puts in a great performance as a real shitty cop. To top things off we get a fairly metal soundtrack and a stupid surprise ending.
Strangely enough Italian director Umberto Lenzi was supposed to be the director of this(it is technically an Italian-produced film even though it seems very American) but he apparently had some problems with the producer. He still has a writer credit though.
