The scariest thing in this whole picture is the Jamie Lee Curtis disco number. Running it a close second is the psycho-killer’s glittery ski mask. A group of bullies accidentally kill one of their little playmates, and six years later someone is out for revenge. Is it the abusive boyfriend? Is it the creepy janitor? Is it anyone we could possibly care about? Even though this is from the early days of the slasher genre formula, it’s still a total formula piece. And though this doesn’t have anything directly to do with the film-makers’ “vision,” I want to mention that the copy of this movie shown on the Chiller channel was the worst example of digital video compression I’ve ever seen. Seriously guys, did you download this thing from Youtube? See if desperate
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
