Rish Outfield's reviews
This film was clever, and really had a nice dialogue. Imagine if Jason Voorhees were lonely and misunderstood, and just wanted to be loved and left alone, but was constantly misjudged and pushed to slaughter teenagers. These filmmakers used that as the basis of the movie, mocking the "Friday the 13th" franchise pretty successfully, but strayed from the path a few times, especially in the end, where the comedy left the room and melancholy took the reigns.
It wasn't a bad film, not at all, but I found it a very uneven one.
Nauseatingly gory at times, it had unbelievably over-the-top violence, and that actually distracted from the light parody of the film. Also, that didn't help us like Jackson (the killer), who we were obviously supposed to root for and sympathize with. I wonder why they chose to be so sporadically graphic, because it didn't fit the story they were trying to tell (for marketing purposes maybe?). The script was nice, but the English accents and locale seemed to distance it from the American Horror it was mocking. It's definitely worth checking out if you run across a copy, but must not have been very successful, as I never heard of it before we brought it home.

The tyranist's thoughts
A British made spoof on American slashers that really works pretty well. It is very funny in parts and never really scary but it has more gore than many movies. Really this is meant as a take-off, spoof of the Friday the 13th series. The killer's name is Jackson, he wears a hockey mask, etc. It works completely on its own though.
As I sit here reflecting on it, I can't remember what really made it so good, but I do remember that the experience of seeing the movie was completely worth it and a lot of fun. There are basically two sets of youth who eventually get slaughtered by the protagonist (who is a serial killer). Everything is very '80s and the protagonist develops a relationship with a blind girl who can't see his hideous deformations. All goes well, until she wants to go to a party with her friends.
The gore is realy outstanding in this one. Exceptional death effects and a good variety as well. There is also plenty for the horror fan to have fun with including moments when they deliberatly point out the horror convention to the audience before it happens.
Likely very overlooked (I'd never heard of it until we stumbled on it) this one is worth the time spent.
