Review of Deadly Games (1982) by Jeff B — 23 Aug 2010

Promising film that unfortunately suffers from bad 80s cliches and lacks 80s horror/slasher movie cliches (if that makes sense). A woman gets murdered by a buy with a black ski mask (and in the midst of the quarrel, there is one of the greatest lines ever: "You wanna rape me? It's okay, I'll make you feel real good").

Her death results in the sister coming to town to find out what happened. Of course, the sister, as well as the rest of the community, seems completely unphased by the death. The dialogue tries to be too quirky, the deaths are nothing special and the finale is just.

.. odd. And there's a hilarious montage in the film with an extreme 80s ballad that seems to play on loop several times, it's just an endless montage. I'm really not sure what I watched, but it's certainly a very "different" 80s horror film.
