Kevin Carr

What makes the movie work is that the slasher genre hadn't been set in stone yet, and some choices that director Sean S. Cunningham makes in the film that work against type. [More]

Ugh, this movie was trite even when it was released. No one ever considered this film anything but a stupid teenage horror film. It never had the respect of others before it. Pure camp!

Ugh, you are greatly mistaken. This was a schlock rip-off of Halloween by Paramount and anyone in the 80's knew it. We were not fooled, those of us who truly love horror. We were scared to death by John Carpenter's Halloween. But when this dismal, trite movie hit the screen, we were not amused. I mean, this was written by a guy who wrote for soap operas, which is why Kevin Bacon is in it and why the story and dialogue is so trite. None of us actually thought this film was anything but a money grab and all of us dismissed it. This movie is garbage.
