Summary: So bad it's funny!
Review: Here we have another cheap horror picture with a predictable ending about a mad killer who dons a mask and runs loose killing college coeds. So, what else is new?

Flat, emotionless, and wooden. These are only a few of the words I can come up with to describe whatever it was that the players in this flick were trying to pull off. The acting was so bad, in fact, that I think it gives lousy acting a bad rap. Such films are good to watch once in a while, I suppose, for research. That is, so that one can see just how bad bad acting can get. It can make one appreciate the slightly better films a little bit more. Flicks like "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Halloween" look like "Gone With The Wind" in comparison to this crap. It deserves the one star, however, for the simple fact that it kept me laughing my tail-end off the whole way through. It was clearly intended to be serious, and frightening, but came off as just being a comedy of moviemaking errors.
