Pânico em Lovers Lane

Killer escapes from a mental asylum after 13 years and heads out to a small town's local lovers lane with a hook in tow to murder the teenagers who are having sex or drinking. A teen film that is nowhere near as slick as many of the other teen horrors of the late 90's. This film with a classic premise, features a grainy feel that adds to the realism and makes the film scarier and more exciting then it should be.

Rated R; Sexual Situations, Nudity, Graphic Violence, and Profanity.

Of course, we've heard the story before, a killer on the loose trying to kill the teens in the town. Some survive, some don't. The killer here has come back after 13 years, to kill the children of the victims he killed 13 years before. Original ha? The actors in the movie are not so good, but they're better than some. Anna Faris stars here and she's quite good. (You might know her from Scary Movie 1 & 2 and let me just say she looks much better with brown/black hair.) Riley Smith is okay too. The movie reminded me just a little of Cherry Falls. (Cherry Falls, is a great movie, so that's not a bad thing.) Lovers Lane, (It's called, I'm Still Waiting For You, here in the UK) is definitely a good movie, especially one for a straight to DVD/Video - TV Movie and I give it a 7/10.

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.

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...

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.
