Back in 1982, vicious serial killer Alex Black is put to rest by a couple survivors he was unable to slay. Five years later, a couple wanders the Texas woods searching for Mr. Black’s magic amulet. Some poorly-placed dialogue let’s you know it gave him powers and made him impervious to weapons. After a quick bone session, the cute blonde girl decapitates her boyfriend with a pickaxe and reveals she’s there to raise Alex Black from the dead. Elderly high schoolers are soon targeted when they spend the weekend at a family cabin en route to a concert and cross paths with the decaying monster. A couple hitchhikers heading to the same show add numbers to the cannon fodder, along with some unlikable locals snuffed out along the way. One of the group has a history with the slasher because that’s just how this shit always plays out. Phantasm’s A. Michael Baldwin is the likable town sheriff/survivor of the slasher and Tiffany Shepis is there as the other survivor, just out of the nuthouse and suffering a severe drinking problem… they eventually team up to take out the problem they thought they already took care of. Painful “comedic” dialogue of the Troma film variety hinders things, the action is a bit more lethargic than exciting and there’s a whole bunch of detestable and stupid humans littering the runtime but they get their asses slaughtered so the cosmic scales are balanced. It’s pretty horny, the female leads are likable (not to mention, easy on the eyes), the effects are practical and the kind of cheap I can get behind and I’m a homer for supernatural killers wearing burlap sacks on their noggin and her majesty Tiffany Shepis is there… I’m always grateful for that.
