It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
LOVERS LANE is a low rent slasher movie filmed in Washington state and with much in common with the genre circa the 1980s. Certainly it lacks the self-referential knowing attitude of the genre post-SCREAM as well as the graphic kind of gore scenes that the likes of URBAN LEGEND featured around the turn of the millennium. The reason this film is so humdrum is that it was made on a very low budget, just one step above a shot-on-video level I should imagine.This film's professional cameras are the most interesting thing about it because the rest isn't really up to par. A town still haunted by a series of historical murders is put through the ringer once more when the killer starts up again. The characters are dull even though the filmmaking qualities are a little better than expected. Anna Faris stars, just before she achieved fame with the SCARY MOVIE series.
When i first saw this i saw it with my friend on Austar and thought it was good for a low budget horror flick, with popular actress Anna Farris best known for her roles as Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie 1,2 and 3. I have recently bought this on DVD and thought it was excellent. I agree with others this show is better than expected. 9 out of 10
Idiots could write it off as just a low budget slasher but there is so much going on in this movie under the surface that it takes someone with an IQ over 100 to "get it". Yeah, production values could be better, (some of the sound is inaudible and visuals dark), but the acting is good, it moves pretty fast and there's enough tits and action to keep you going. I hope it comes out on DVD. Enough said.
I cannot believe I wasted 1 and 1/2 hours of my life watching a movie as pointless and pathetic as this one. The acting was bad, the plot was bad and the script, well I'll just say that I could have wrote a better movie myself. Don't waste your time watching this garbage. You may as well look at a wall for 2 hours cause that would be more interesting that this crap.
