Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
A movie that's neither here nor there to me. I like the 80s charm, and the buildup/exposition makes me crave what's coming next, but it never really delivers. The main problem is the lighting...my word the lighting is atrocious, it's the worst lighting I've seen in a non-B movie. About 30 minutes of the movie are unwatchable. Not because it's bad, but because you literally can't see what's happening. There are numerous instances in which the screen is 100% dark. And numerous others where you simply can't see what's happening or which character it's happening to. But the idea is cool, the location is cool, and Linda Blair is such a babe in the 80s!! Whew! The British chick is hot too, and a party girl to boot. I want every bit of that.In short, it's decent - not terrible, not great. See it for Linda Blair, she's gorgeous.
Linda Blair, Peter Barton, Vincent Van Patten, Suki Goodwin and Kevin Brophy star in this 1981 horror film. Blair (The Exorcist) plays college student, Marti who pledges a sister sorority of Alpha Sigma Rho. She and 3 others are forced to spend the night in a deserted house, Garth Manor where murders occurred 12 years prior. Soon, Marti and the others become terrorized by a mysterious killer who may be a surviving member of the family. Barton (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter) plays Jeff, a boy who Marti finds romance with, Van Patten plays Seth, Goodwin plays Marti's friend, Denise and Brophy plays Peter, President of the Alpha Sigma Rho frat. This isn't a bad film and Blair is good in it. If you like horror/slasher flicks, give this one a try.
This was OK, and really only because I happen to be a semi-fan of clean slasher flicks between 1975-1982. No nudity and no sex scenes, and very little profanity; that's how I roll.There's action here, but most of it is boring and stupid. The kids are just so insipid at the sorority and fraternity. The Garth house overnight kids were the best of the bunch, but Linda Blair is a bit slow. I kinda liked Seth; he shouldn't have come back, he should have just let those idiot police officers lock him up for safety.What happened to Denise anyway? Did I miss it? The other guy in the house (not Seth) is a fool. He's seen dead people and one girl go missing, and yet when he spies a light in the garden from the upstairs window, he has to go investigate and thinks it is smart to leave Linda Blair's character behind, telling her not to worry. Uh, why not fool? She doesn't say that, she just whines that she doesn't want to be left behind. Then why don't you follow his stupid butt stupid? Lots of other idiotic things go on here.
This movie is like many you'll find from the 80's LONG, and DULL. It's just as bad as Halloween. If you like Halloween then there's obviously something wrong with you because that movie is terrible, But I liked the remake, so what does that tell you? I don't Know. I have a very specific taste when it comes to movies, and I love horror movies, but so many of them are just plain bad. Like this one.Nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens, Then the only good part of the whole movie happens; Wes I mean Seth escapes from the Mansion and goes to the police station where they tell him to F off so he steals a shotgun comes back to the mansion and blows the Villain away, now this doesn't kill him but getting spiked on a gate does... that makes sense. So the only good character in the movie Seth gets killed and then there's a dozen scenes of Linda Blair trying to escape, then it ends. Yes I spoiled the movie for you, but it's justified because you can hardly call this a movie.It's so boring that after half way through I thought it was almost over, more like I wished it was, but it wasn't, and I seriously didn't even want to watch the rest of the movie, even when the villain finally shows up, it made it just as uninteresting.The movie is crap, and don't let anyone tell you different, just because they seem like they know what they're talking about, they don't. This movie is boring! I mean there's nothing artistic about it, nothing different about it, nothing even remotely interesting, just save your time and never watch this, If your looking for good slasher movies this is not one.
