Deadly Love

Kinda stupid but sweet low budget late 80's cross between slasher film and sad tragedy. As other reviewers have pointed out the acting is not the greatest. But this movie sticks with you because of its charm, and the song will get stuck in your head I guarantee that :-)

Don't waist your time with this one. Poor wooden acting. Poor executed story line. I feel asleep. And the love song that kept playing intended for the lovesick couple was awful. Deadly love is Deadly awful. Enough said.

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.

This movie straight slaps. This is the greatest movie of all time. Jr recommends the movie. Russian dubbed version is highly suggested, slaps. AP government rules. Watch out for european stalkers. Big mike and nicholas cage as well recommends this movie. The best movie ever. If you want to watch a great movie watch it.

Tears, tears. Mark Oglesby is truly a visionary. Never in my life have I seen such adeptness in the art of film. I just can't stop my praise for the acting of Mark Oglesby, it is truly a joy to watch and I hope to meet him someday. This movie has truly shaped my outlook on life. It's deep undertones of despair and dread highlight, and I have to say this again, the marvelous acting of Mark Oglesby. He has an innate gift at portraying the poignant and melancholic emotions of the film. This film is definitely the eighth wonder of the world and its impact on the development of the human race is immeasurable and indelible.
