1980
Donnie's just a normal teen. He likes his music loud, spends a lot of time chasing girls, and he loves his mother. The problem is, Donnie is about 30 years old, the girls all end up charbroiled and his moms a corpse. No, there's no spoilers there. All that info is doled out in the first ten minutes.
I think this is supposed to be a slasher flick, but it doesn't have a ton of slashing. What it does have is fire! Chemical fires, fire as punishment, revenge fires, and the best kind of fire, MURDER FIRES! Anyone know of another slasher film where the killer uses fire as his primary weapon? I don't mean fire as a physic phenomena, as in Fire Starter. I'm talking about actually stalking and abducting victims in order to burn them to death! Yikes, it's pretty grisly when you really consider it. Anyway, it's not great, but I feel like it's a movie that will grow on me and in five years, I'll be calling it an under appreciated classic.
One important point; Stick around for the end credits and you'll be treated to the amazing disco classic, Struck By Boogie Lightning.
