Bachelor Party Massacre

The very cover of this film is enough to put you off, but against all odds Bachelor Party Massacre wasn't too bad at all. It wasn't too good either, but it didn't quite descend into suicide inducing drudgery like a lot of slasher films.

You know the plot even if you haven't seen the film. Four guys head off for a stag-do at an empty bar, and hire some strippers. Wife to be and sister-in-law also head off to spoil the fun, and there's an escaped lunatic killing folks. That's the plot.

Rather than have trendy, know-it-all dialogue, the victims here are rather portrayed as pathetic losers from the get go, so that helps the film, as does the banter, which is a bit better than usual. The killer however is crap, and spouts one liners almost as bad as those in Psycho Cop.

It all moves along fairly quickly though, and I like the stripper who's only defence is to strip for the killer.

You're not missing much by this film.
