I happened to stumble upon the 1987 horror movie "Deadly Love" by random chance here in 2024. And given my love of the horror genre, and with this being a movie that I had neither seen nor actually heard about, of course I opted to sit down and watch it. After all, the 1980s were bountiful with gloriously campy and cheesy horror movies.
The storyline in the movie was not particularly exciting, and I have to admit that I was starting to zone out about one-fourth of the way through the movie. The air was just sort of slowly escaping from the balloon as the movie progressed at a dangerously dull pace. Yet, I managed to endure all 90 minutes of the movie, hoping that it would become better. However, writer and director Michael S. O'Rourke just never did accomplish that.
Needless to say that I was by no means familiar with the actors or actresses on the cast list. And the cast list was rather limited. The acting performances were a bit wobbly from some of the performers.
Visually then you're not in for anything grand. There are far better special effects in many other horror movies from the late 1980s, so not even that was playing out for this movie from Michael S. O'Rourke.
The music in the movie, with the wonderful keyboards, was awfully cheery and indeed rather campy.
My rating of "Deadly Love" lands on a two out of ten stars.
