[Inspector Abberline]

Amazingly I have only just gotten around to watching this film, I had seen the poster in many magazines and even the old videotape case on occasion back in the glory days of video rental, Its a fantastic piece of artwork, just a shame it is a little misleading, then again so is the theatrical trailer (no Mr Berryman)...This has such an odd mixture of 70s satanic conspiracy film but has that 1980s slasher vibe you can only get with films made in that era. You also get young college kids (played by people who look like there in the late 20s), a roller disco where all the hip people hang out and a killer who is dressed like he is auditioning for a part in Wes Craven Scream, and a ridiculously young looking Bill Paxton...We also get the married acting team of Lynda Day George and Christopher George who a year earlier had just managed to fend off a chainsaw limb chopping and jigsaw fan maniac in Pieces (1982, USA / Spain)...Christopher George who runs the neighbourhood mortuary has something to hide, and when he is not selling his coffins or embalming people he is dancing around in satanic garb accompanied by the local women's institute, innocent fun or something more sinister...While not a fully fledged 80s slasher it is still a lot of fun and has lots going on to keep the viewer interested, while the plot is as silly as it gets, the few bits of gore, are pretty effective..If you enjoyed other 80s flicks like Mausoleum (1983) and Hell Night (1981)..then you might just enjoy this 80s sleeper....Also, any fans of horror movies were dead bodies are made to sit up like there at a party will enjoy this as well...
