Viale dei delitti

Lovers Lane was an entertaining horror movie. True the story is played out beyond belief but it doesn't really matter here. The acting is surprisingly good for a straight to video slasher flick. One of the great things about this movie is that the blond chick from saved by the bell the new class gets topless. Another great thing is that Anna Faris, Cindy from SCARY MOVIE, makes a really hot blond. If you're in the mood for a horror movie somewhat like those lovable 80s movies then this one is definitely worth a rent.

LOVER'S LANE begins with the bloody murders of two young lovers on Valentine's Day evening. Thirteen years later, circumstances arise, putting a new group of young people in the exact same situation. Can the sheriff (Matt Reidy) stop the same thing from happening again?

This is a solid tribute to the slasher films of the 1970's-80's. It contains all of the basic elements of the genre, while still managing to be a bit different. The thoroughly twisted, double-twist toward the end, sets up the perfect finale.

Co-stars a young Anna Faris as a cheerleader who meets with a very... awkward demise...

This is your typical slasher flick. It's always worth a rent just to see how stupid the teen victims will be (ex. never run up the stairs when the front door is just a few feet away).The story relies heavily the classic urban legend about the hook wielding mental patient stalking a couple on Lovers Lane, heck that basically the plot. The gore factor is virtually nil, since many of deaths (which are few) are off-screen deals. On the plus side, the heroine is resourceful (This is first one I've seen that can properly reset a broken leg). Also, all you "Scary Movie" fans should check out Anna Faris (who played the heroine in said movie) in her first slasher appearance. Trust me, it took me a moment figure out it was her. Overall, this movie is perfect for quenching anyone's need for a decent slasher fix.

I rented this movie in the hopes that I would laugh my way through it. Sadly, there wasn't much to laugh at. Don't get me wrong... this movie wasn't good, but it wasn't as bad as I wanted it to be. So in that sense, it's doubly disappointing. And it was NC-17 for some reason (I assumed it meant gratuitous nudity, but there was none to be found). The thing couldn't even offer decent T & A.

The "scary" scenes have all been done better in other movies, the acting was typical "B" grade stuff, and the plot took more effort than was worth to understand.

Not frightening, not funny, not worth renting.

I usually like low-budget slashers, if they are fun, scary, and have good gore. Well, this stupid video pic was very dry, slow, badly-acted, and the ending was sooo confusing and the script was sooo bad...I could go on for hours about how terrible this movie is. True, it tries to seem more like an eighties slasher bash rather than the more modern "Scream" bullc***, but it still doesn't work and I just didn't like it at all.
