Death Screams (1982)

"The last scream you hear...Is your own" goes the tag line for this regional slasher.

Too f*cking right! I was screaming out of boredom.

The first seventy minutes of this 89 minute film play out as a look at life in regional America as we are treated to life at school, life at the coffee shop and life at the carnival and it's tedious as hell. When we get some slashing during the final ten minutes it all feels so rushed and cheap and worst of all relatively blood free.

I usually try an enjoy low budget regional horror, both old and new, if i can but this was simply too much.

To sit through this again i'd need my uncle Jack, cousins Jim and Johnny and probably even old Captain Morgan from down the docks by my side.
