Note de horrorcritic
* * out of 4.
Three brothers are all alone in their big old dark house. They make popcorn, tell ghost stories, watch scary movies and then try to scare each other silly playing pranks on each other. However, three patients at a nearby asylum have escaped and are dropping by disguised as clowns from the local carnival.
Director Victor Salva was convicted of molesting the young lead of the film. Apparantly the kid was scarred enough to hardly ever work again in Hollywood and always protests the releases of new Salva films. Once you get past this little bit of history, you're in for a real treat. This is one of those horror films that reaches back to the horror films of yesteryear. It's rustic and atmospheric. The scariest element to the film is you never know what is going to happen because everything takes place in the dark. Victor Salva does a very good job of building up the suspense and pulling neat camera tricks out of his hat to introduce the suspense. This is a very good tell me a scary story kind of film.

Another killer. Another group of victims. Only this time around the story takes place on Thanksgiving to a Spanish family. The opening of this film suggest where in for one heck of a ride. The opening takes no prisioners in the selection of it's victims, it's brutal and it's even tacky, but it shows a lot of promise. After the opening though, the film settles into predictability. The film's pacing is dramatically slowed down, with your standard stalking scenes and routine murder sequences. A total washout.
Surf, sand, sex and MURDER! Welcome to an exclusive country club where the kids play to the brink of dawn, but an outsider turns their luxuary life inside out. And then all of a sudden some pesky "accidents" and mysterious killings start bothering the club too.
Trash, trash, and more trash. Despite a PG-13 rating, this film pushes the rating as far as it can possibly go. You're not watching this kind of film expecting Hamlet or anything. It's filled with sexy bodies doing sexy things and for that this film is a total success. Susan Ward is an absolute delight in her role and steals every scene she is in. And director Mary Lambert plays up to the trashy aspects of the story perfectly and keeps things moving along quickly and swiftly. A ton of fun.
