Back To Basics

Basic plotline.
Gory splatter FX.
Gratuitous breast shots.
Unstoppable deformed killer.
Yep, it has all the ingredients for a return to early '80s era slasher/splatter films. If you're not already a fan of the above-mentioned genre of films, this probably won't make you one. But if you are a slasher fan, you would do well to check this movie out. It's not mind blowing (then again what slasher film is?), but it does feature enough of the "red stuff" to please most gorehounds. Plus it features humour that actually works for the most part; and this comic element is kept separate from the horror element, so that it doesn't slide into self-parody (ala SCREAM). It's definitely better than what's being churned out in American mainstream horror these days (who needs another shoddy remake of a superior Asian horror film anyway).
