Featured reviews
Even though the movie was funny, this was actually a good movie. It was good enough to sit and watch and really pay attention to it. You have a maniac who sings with a guitar drill (that is so crazy and hysterical to me). What director would ever think of that? The movie has a lot of funny parts to me in it. I give it a rating of 2.5 stars out of 3 stars.
Heidy Kozak looks so hot in this one, Juliette Cummings takes her top off, Kim McArthur is annoying and Crystal Bernard takes a bath... The guys just go to the house to die, the girls are hot I tell you...The effects were graphic enough, the blood was good, the plot was silly, but who cares? these chicks are hot!!!
I rented this for free with the intention of getting a good laugh. I got exactly that. Invite some friends over, watch this movie, and prepare to die laughing. If it's not a falling rubber hand, or a flying chicken, it's a killer with a drill..... on his electric guitar! This movie is worth the two or three dollars you would spend to rent it just for the laughs. Great fun. And next time you and your friends are having a naked champagne fight, watch out for the Driller Killer!
I still can't decide if the plot, characters, dancing, music, or the villian is the worst part of this movie. But God knows I won't be watching it a second time to figure that out. Extremely cheesy 80's horror, so if that's your thing, maybe you'll enjoy it. I didn't go into the film expecting much, thankfully. But man...it's not a good one.
One of the survivors from the original Courtney (Crystal Bernard) is having horrible dreams while her sister Valerie is in a mental institution. Courtney also plays guitar in a band with other schoolmates Amy (Kimberly McArthur) and interestingly two FRIDAY THE 13TH victims in Juliette Cummins (playing Sheila) and Heidi Kozak (playing Sally). Sadly, they are rather unconvincing as a band. Anyways, the band is going to Sheila's dads' new condo for the weekend. Meanwhile, Courtney is dreaming of a rocker (Atanas Ilitch) donning leather who just happens to have a large drill on the end of his guitar. And who also has zippo to do with the original driller killer.
Borrows poorly from the vastly superior A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and any connection made to the original is really paper-thin. This movie really is a mess and would have given it a higher vote, but the last 20 minutes were just down right horrible. In fact while chasing his victims the serial killer doesn't break into song once...no he does it twice. B-B-B-B-BAD!
Might work to watch with some horror buddies over a few beers to get a good laugh at, but not in the same ball park as the original.
