I first heard about this movie from an article in Entertainment Weekly magazine. It was apparently shot using a regular home movie Super 8mm (film, not video) camera back in the late 80s, in just a few days and for a very, very low budget. The acting by some of the secondary characters is pretty lame, but there aren't too many slasher movies that are examples of great acting, anyway. Overall, I thought Tony Elwood's direction and Mark Kimray's screenplay were very good, and the actor that plays the killer, Duke Ernsberger, is really good and quite believable.
This movie is great! Typical 'psycho on the loose that kills all that cross his path' flick, but I love all types like this and it manages some character development without being boring. Cheesy gore and a surprise ending too make this a must for fans of weekend night horror.
