The numbing familiarity of everything in the film just makes the cartoonish bits look ridiculous.

More proof that the early nineties were horror's low-point.

Larry Drake was born to play a slasher villain!

Good potential with the crazy doctor, but it turns into just another slasher movie. The cop breaking up the party is the best scene.

The slasher stuff isn't half bad, but you have to suffer through comedy material that feels like glass in your brain.
