Deadly Love

This has got to be one of the best cult classics. It has a truly interesting storyline and I think it could be compared to some really high class movies. It even stars Buddy Reynolds and Mark Oglesby. These are some truly amazing actors. Although it has a low budget you would never be able to tell. The best scenes include a cool white mustang and the star of the movie, Mark Oglesby, riding in a motorcycle. It really fits the time period, too. Buddy in the movie (Mark Oglesby) has a killer mustache and a mullet. This really should be considered equivalent to Halloween.

This movie should be considered a cult classic; its combination of its low budget and poor quality script and the great acting from Mark Oglesby and Buddy Reynolds makes this film have potential as a joke to be watched over and over just as The Room is 10/10.

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.

Tears shed. Revolutionary, poignant, sublime, this movie will change your life. In his debut, Mark Oglesby's candid touch will make you feel a part of his world. I am almost sad that I have seen this movie, for I will never see such expertise again. From the agricultural revolution to the creation of AI, this movie transcends time. To be a human is to enjoy deadly love. I feel like the men that built the tower of babel. God will have to smite us for getting so close to him. The beauty of this movie is truly ethereal. Shakespeare quivers in his grave knowing that he has been usurped as the greatest storyteller to dwell on earth.

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 :-)
