It didn't have the charm of Dr Giggles..... it just didn't do the comedy orientated lighthearted slasher very well at all.
I like my slashers to be nasty minded sleazefests or at least have something unique about them (the ending of Sleepaway Camp comes to mind).
Considering Lustig's previous work this is a copout. The killer marine was a little bit too close to the Maniac Cop and handled a hell of a lot weaker. But these aren't the times for starie of military and perhaps this was encouraged to be dumbed down for distribution. <----- but that point isn't exactley relevant seeing as this was made in what? 1996?
I did think this was a fun movie but the more I discuss it the more I hate it.
