I liked this one . The movie makes you think that it's going to be a run-of-the-mill 80s early slasher, but it goes in a different direction. (yes, its still a slasher but not typical). Likable characters, some excellent kills, and kids that aren't treated sacredly. Pretty girls and decent acting. . . although a noticable lack of boobs. 7/10.
I believe In Search of Darkness described the making of this film as being based around throwing everything at the wall to try and find out what would stick, and I agree with that assessment. An unfit mother allows her degenerate suitor to tie up her own son so that they could knock boots; when the boy's sister frees him and he goes on to stab the degenerate suitor, a mirror becomes imbued with the essence of the degenerate's rage. Beyond that there is so much going on in this one you practically need a scorecard to keep up with it all!
Eh nothing special
Nothing spectacular but an interesting take on supernatural horror
The deep breathing gets annoying at a point.
