Good movie to come out of the 80s. Known as a classic "horror" film to some. I thought it was pretty good, but I expected a bit more. Check this out if you haven't already. 6/10

Sporting a decent premise and better characterizations than we've come to expect from slasher flicks, this is certainly an entertaining time with alright deaths, a steady script, a good finish that has some okay suspense and one almost skin-crawling flashback to our killer's prison fate.

It's a silly movie, but a must for splatter fans. ... It's not exactly a horror film--more of a sleazy action film. It's also surprisingly low on effects and sex, given the fact that Lustig directed it. -- (eSplatter.com)
