Schmeez

It's a mix of 80s low budget sci-fi and explicit gore horror. Psycho Goreman as a character is pretty fun. The lead child character? Terrible. Not the actress' fault - she's doing as she's directed. But as a character she's just written and directed as a completely unlikeable lead, full of hatred and obnoxiousness. It's a combination of Troma films and The Gate. Unfortunately, it also incorporates the bad parts of those films.

...Boring Hill. Lifeless Hill. Far Too Long Hill. Uninspired Hill. Nothing Happens Hill. Canada Looks Nothing Like West Virginia Hill. All more appropriate titles. First movie I walked out of...ever. There's really not a whole lot of good to be said for this film. So much could have been whittled out of this movie, and it's paper-thin plot would still have been in tact. It's embarrassing that a film like this gets made. I know that this film has a relatively high rating from members but that will surely change as soon as the video geeks that are populating the theatre now make way for the regular moviegoers. A promising trailer gave way to a film that has little suspense, story or even eye candy. Complete waste.

Surely it couldn't be the first. But even if it is the "first gay slasher" it's just as bad as the last few slashers I saw for the breeder crowd. I hope the 2nd, 3rd and all subsequent gay slashers are better than this. I've seen better production values on an episode of "Degrassi Junior High." Not scary, suspenseful or even funny. And it seems that gay characters (even when created by gay men) can only be X-takin', circuit-party-frequentin', bathroom-stall-sex-havin' pretty boys. It's kinda tiresome. But hey - what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and if you're gonna have one-dimensional characters in a movie like "I Know What You Did Last Summer," why not have them in this one?
