Details

Officer Joe Vickers would probably make a good policeman if it weren't for his two nasty habits. Firstly, he is a devoted satanist; secondly - he likes to kill people. When he meets a group of teenagers spending their vacation in a wood hut, he decides to investigate.

RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
ricky roche Distributor: Southgate Entertainment Plot: Six college students take a weekend trip to a mansion in the woods. Slowly their party becomes a terrifying game of survival...and just as they think their prayers have been answered, a killer cop has responded to their calls for help.Audio/Video: Excellent picture quality.Extras: Nothing extra on the tape.Final thoughts: This movie has rotten acting, horrible music, atrocious directing...but somehow I always get drawn into the cheesiness of it. The lead actress is so annoying, how many times can one person say "I think we should call the police" without actually calling them. The answer is too many. The funny thing is that on the box it says "89.95 list price. Slightly higher in Canada". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You silly people over their at Southgate Entertainment actually think that a person in their right mind would pay that much to see this piece of crap. I paid $1.50 and I still feel ripped off. Either way, if you can find this for less then a dollar then buy it, otherwise watch Maniac Cop which is 100 times better than this, or get Psycho Cop 2. It can't be any worse then this....or can it?
ibanez747 Oh God, where do I begin with this one. (Deep breath...) I am shocked and chagrined that this masterwork has not seen the light of day for a DVD release. I would love to hear B.R. Shafer's commentary on how he came up with those hilarious one liners.In a nutshell, a group of personal friends run to the hills for some boozin' and relaxation. Their only two concerns seems to be misplaced beer and the caretaker. They missed one...a devil-worshipping cop who is on the loose and filled with one-liners and bag of tricks on how to kill. Officer Vicker's one line cliches are timely and very funny. The movie is not scary or frightening. It wasn't meant to be since it was written diligently by Wallace Potts on a weekend. It was directed and produced by Potts in about a fortnight. The attire worn by the cast is appropriate for an 80's slasher flick and adds to the air of comedy surrounding this film. The deaths. The deaths are silly, but he employs a variety of methods as a means to killing these youths. Especially when he rips a guy's heart out and follows it with "Have a heart. HA HA". This adds to the brilliance of this movie. I prefer this movie over Manic Cop by Bill Lustig.Overall, a night of laughter and comments like "I cant believe I'm watching this" will fill your living room as you watch this film.Score: 10 out of 10 -- NOTE: a 6 pack should be consumed before and an additional 6 pack should be consumed during.
carlhefler If you're in the mood for a great 80's horror, full of cliches and bad acting, look no further! 6 young adults get together at a mansion in the woods (looks alot like the suburbs) and are slowly dispatched by the killer. A nice selection of cheesy one-liners, along with the ambiguously gay character of Blake Washer, make this a perfect rental for a night of laughs and moans of "oh gaaawd, whatever"!
capkronos Many horror fans out there have seen the cable staple PSYCHO COP 2 and probably wondered about the existence of the relatively obscure original. Well I found it. It sucks!Three unbearable yuppie college couples travel to a big, secluded vacation house despite the usual tell tale signs that they should go home. A psychotic, Satan-worshipping policeman (Bobby Ray Shafer), who walks like a robot (and gives a performance to match) does most of them in. The annoying characters constantly talk to themselves, wander off into the woods alone, guzzle buckets full of beer and whine about the feeling of being watched ("It's probably just a deer!"). People are killed with a knife down the throat, hatchet and crucifixion."It can't be!" screams the pot smoking caretaker before taking an axe to the head.The entire cast is terrible.Irritating!
