La 6e victime

Another Troma-tic turkey (produced by Eric Louzil, who went on to direct those awful NUKE 'EM HIGH sequels) and substandard slasherama with one difference by default...Kevin Costner! In a minor supporting role, Costner has two scenes as campus party animal Jimmy Scott, main suspect in a rash of killings at Dorothy College. Short fused, foul-mouthed detective Rydell King (William J. Kulzer) investigates the murder spree of "The Black Angel" (aka "The Co-ed Killer" or "The Moral Vigilante"), a mystery maniac who enjoys cutting up a group of college girls who used to be hookers, like to shower a lot and have a strange aversion to clothing.

A key subplot involves a young bimbo named Judy (Elizabeth Trosper) who receives heavy breathing phone calls ("I'm coming to get you!") and whose racist brother objects to her black boyfriend. Everyone talks about how hot she is, a point that seems to require her to be painted up like a streetwalker at all times, including in the shower and waking up in the morning.

This film might set some kind of record for nude female victims, including porn star Susanna Britton/Barbara Peckinpaugh in an endless scene where she showers and runs around naked trying to elude the killer. Also featured are skinny dipping (from Terry Congie who co-starred with Costner in his first film, SIZZLE BEACH USA), a bloody stabbing, a head mashed in a car hood, a magician, a fat lesbian, a cello player and a visible boom mike. It didn't get released on video until 1986 (it was actually produced in 1981), with the publicity centering around... guess who?

A serial killer by the name of The Black Angel is on the loose in a college campus,slaying girls or boys without discrimination.College party animal Jimmy Scott (Kevin Costner) falls under the heavy eye of Detective King (William J Kulzer) a short-fused,foul-mouthed detective driven by his own personal needs to track down the killer on account of his own daughter's savage killer not being found years before.But when Judy (Elizabeth Trosper) one of the sexiest girls on the campus starts getting heavy breathing phone calls,it looks like she may become the next target if King can't find the killer in time.

Kevin Costner makes an early film appearance as the prime suspect (long before the days of Dawson's Creek this was obviously one of those pioneer movies that cast actors about ten years too old to be playing college students in their roles.)He gives a terrible performance like everyone else,but then he was probably having his daydreams of staring in epic tales of epic frontiers and district attorneys who root out presidential assassins,unlike the other stars who just faded into oblivion after this film was made (there seem to be a few who think Costner should have done the same,but,there you go...) The film was made in 1986,but looks more like it was made in 1976.The dodgy lighting and wooden sets are here in all their glory,obviously a very low-budget effort all round.Yep,this is definitely another one of those 'before-they-were-famous' efforts that linger at the back of the CVs of stars like Costner like flies on sh*t.*

Shadows Run Deep is a horrible movie! Its definitely not one of those "its so bad, its good" type of films. What makes Me sick, yes absolutely sick about the movie is all of the nudity in it! There is so much it the movie should have been called "What woman can bare it all the most before she get killed?":{ If you are a guy and love nudity where it shows the top and the bottom for at least a half of a minute in each scene (which to Me it seemed to be days before a scene ended) then hurry up and find and buy this movie IMMEDIATELY! In My opinion it would have been a good if there wasn't so damn much filth in it because the music was ok and the acting by William J. Kulzer was decent. I guess they thought it would it be great if THAT MUCH was in it! Well, in My opinion this just totally ruins a movie. The gore factor here was really non-existent. For hardcore slasher fans there was a few killings and blood but there was only one killing on screen. My advise is if you are a fan of the Friday the 13th series, the Halloween series, and/or the Scream series (which most of them films keeps nudity to a minimum) don't expect something really great to happen as this crappy excuse of a slasher doesn't even come close to them and even the appearances by Kevin Costner doesn't save this movie:( Only watch the movie if you are a nudity freak! I hate to say it but this movie SUCKS!!! That's My opinion!

This movie is the stupidest movie i have ever seen the scenes are stupid and not scary what so ever.There is no suspense.They use maple syrup for blood and i spent 1.19$ renting this piece of garbage and it was not worth it at all DONT WATCH THIS WHAT EVER YOU DO!!!!!!!!

Do not expect anything spectacular when you rent this movie. A killer starts killing teenage girls and boys which will eventually lead up to the killing of one girl in particular. Their are some interesting murder scenes but the movie is very slow and drags on and on and on. There is the classic who done it, with the blame being but on every one except the real killer. In the end the killer is predictable from the characters actions earlier in the movie and the final chase scene is pretty dull compared to others. Like I've said in my many other reviews watch it only if you're in the mood for some cheesy 80's slasher films.
