Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
gwnightscream This 1986 horror film stars Caroline Munro and Simon Scuddamore. This features a high school geek, Marty (Scuddamore) who is always getting picked on by his classmates. One April Fool's Day, Marty becomes a victim of a malicious prank that goes wrong leaving him humiliated and disfigured. Years later, the same group of classmates are invited to a high school reunion and they discover that the joke is on them and that Marty is their host who intends on getting the last laugh with deadly revenge. Munro (Maniac) plays Carol. This is a pretty good 80's slasher with gruesome make-up effects and chilling score by Harry Manfredini. My only gripe is that the film is sometimes very dark. It's from the makers of "Friday the 13th" and if you like that or horror/slasher films in general, I recommend this.
videorama-759-859391 I guess one of the standout attractions to this shoddy horror is English movie goddess, Caroline Munro. Horrors like this were more admired or fun in their time. The acting in this film was very bad, save for Marty (this one film actor and humanitarian, suiciding just after), the coach, and the loud bully, passable, who sabotaged a chemical experiment, which went horribly wrong for it's creator/geek, Marty. Before this, a real low down (stereotypical) prank was pulled on Marty, in the girl's locker room, where he was coaxed into a sexual liason with Munro, before being photographed naked, then having his head shoved down a toilet. Personally these were the most heartless bullies/jocks/cheerleaders, I've ever seen and couldn't wait for their demises, as years later, they receive a secret invitation by (guess who) to a high school reunion. Here, Marty, disguised in a leprechaun mask, kills them off, some in uniquely clever ways, the first victim, dying a shocking death, in front of his peers. I felt no mercy for these dickhead victims at all, as they all got what they deserve, where now in the 21s't millennium, bullying as got worse. If you can remember the bullies blamed Marty when getting caught, during the locker room/sex prank, which for them was ground to teach Marty a lesson, with that backfiring chemistry explosion, which saw Marty, disfigured. What are you serious? They should of not of pulled that prior locker room prank, in the first place. SH is a crummy, awfully shot and acted film, some exterior shots of total blackness, where we lose the actors, briefly. I did like how one scene you thought was real, which cut to years later, with Munro having a bad dream. It's really sickening how people can just move on, from their dastardly deeds, with no conscience, though bad actions sometimes have fatal consequences. What really sucked was the way the film ended, as if it was all premeditated by the bandaged Marty, burning with fury. A stupid ending for a number of reasons. I really wanted Marty's revenge to be real.
GL84 After attending their high-school reunion, a group of friends learn the entire evening was planned as a ruse by a former classmate to seek revenge on them for a prank gone wrong and must find a way to stop the deadly rampage.This here turned out to be quite the enjoyable and fun cheesy slasher effort. One of the best aspects of this one is the fact that there's just such an endearing and watchable charm to this one that transcends the obvious low-budget nature of the proceedings, from the rather exceptional use of adults playing off as teenagers, the continued desire to prank one of their own despite the situation clearly working against them as they continue to do so for no reason and the rather impressive amount of time here with the gang who are clearly trying to have fun and joke around with each other when they should be considering a way out of their environment which makes this a lot more light-hearted and goofy than it really portrays itself to be. This is pretty well endowed through the sound-effects and constant jokes flown throughout the film as well, making this quite too much like a spoof in the first half which is fun at times and overblown the next as the constant tone-shifts make for some uneven work in here. Still, there's still plenty of worthwhile elements throughout this with their being a lot of rather impressive horror sequences including the initial motivation for the rampage being a disastrous experiment gone wrong complete with the exploding school equipment and scarring acid that provides the motivations for one of the greatest ever masks in the genre with the old-man/jester-hat combo that works deliciously well in evoking the type of atmosphere warranted for the film and help highlight the finale wonderfully as the madly-ringing jester bells and held-aloft javelin through the school's hallways rival the best chase scenes in any classic slasher. Of course, the gore is also highly impressive here with the multitude of kills requiring a large amount of ingenuity and thrills which are quite memorable and downright graphic which has a lot of impressive moments about it. Still, there's a few problems here from the fact that there's the abrupt tone shifts throughout the first half as the cheese and silliness aren't exactly all that appealing for all involved which tends to distort their effectiveness. Likewise, this one really tends to highlight the inherent stupidity of the group more than any logical series of friends would ever be by their inability to recognize the set-up here is just for them, their willingness to sleep and screw around with each other after being provided plenty of opportunities to realize a killer's after them and the constant notion of staying in trouble by ignoring or even repeating mistakes made in the past by their friends continues to make them seem way too stupid for real-life. It's not a bad mark on the film, but it is noticeable and knocks it down slightly.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Full Male and Female Nudity, several sexual situations and drug use.
FlashCallahan A group of popular students play a cruel prank on a shy nerd resulting in a terrible accident. Years later a reunion is held where each of the students face a stalker killer who may be the same nerd out for revenge...The thing about this movie is that it comes as no surprise who the killer is right from the moment we see him with his glasses on.When he is revealed, there is one kid wearing a jester mask for no reason, I wonder what he will wear at the reunion? After the accident, we cut forward to an abandoned place where these guys have been invited,a dn lots of their trinkets have been found.It's a mixed bag of kids, one is 35 and one now resides on Emmerdale.It's a fun movie though, quite gory for a movie like this, and what makes the movie more macabre is the fact that the actor who played Marty, Simon Scuddamore, took his own life soon after completing this.Acting is okay, and although the ending is bizarre (it reminded me of Thriller) it's a welcome entry into the stalk and slash genre.Hopefully this won't be remade...
