Review – Popcorn

For a crappy slasher movie from the early 90s, this is an unusual bit of fun. A group of film students set up a horror movie marathon fundraiser at a local theater. The movies they select all have William-Castle-style gimmicks associated with them. Unfortunately for our youthful protagonists, a killer starts offing them one by one using tricks connected to the gimmicks. If you aren’t a fan of Castle’s milieu, you may not enjoy this as much as I did. However, if you’ve gotta have a psycho-killer, at least he ought to have an entertaining MO. This one does. Mildly amusing
