Review of Offerings (1989) by Chris M — 06 Dec 2008
A joyously dreadful Halloween clone-and boy, do I mean CLONE! I'd say it's a more sufficient remake of Halloween than Rob Zombie's version. Shot through what must be a few tons of vasaline, Offerings tells the tragic story of a southern valley girl(?) who finds herself stalked by an old childhood friend who recently broke out of an asylum.
Some of the death scenes are well executed and the cast is a real hoot. Besides story theft, Offerings has a near identical score to John Carpenter's seminal slasher epic Halloween. Offerings could make for a good triple feature along with such trash classics as Pieces and Slaughter High.
Even though it's dreadful, you can't stop watching. Give it a try, you might just find a new guilty pleasure to beat yourself up over.
