Rish Outfield's reviews
Well, they had a cool opening title. And...let's see... Oh yeah, there was a Police poster on the wall
of the heroine's bedroom. Those were about the only two things going for this film. It ripped off
Halloween and its sequel in many ways, but was much less effective. The video cover
promised so much more than what was on the tape. There was considerably less nudity and attractiveness going on there,
and very few scares.
Best Scare: Girl descending stairs while killer ascends them.
I'd Recommend It To: Slasher Fans, Completists
The tyranist's thoughts
A Halloween rip-off beginning to end. And to top that off, it was a bad Halloween rip-off. The brightest moment of the otherwise wholly predictable film was
spotting an old Police Synchronicity poster on the wall in one of the bedrooms.
