The Slayer


The Slayer (J.S. Cardone – 1982) 

To my surprise this had the markings of quality movie. Considering the title and Vipco’s unsubtle promotion of this as a gore fest on VHS back in the day, id anticipated a more silly and grotesque exploitation flick. To couples are going to have a vacation in an isolated island. There is a slow build up establishing the tensions within this small group and fine atmospheric imagery depicting the island. It’s all done in a somber 70this kind of fashion, but unfortunately the acting is flat, the script in unimaginative and the ending disappointing.

The film was viewed on an abysmal full screen version released in the Beyond Terror-series from Cornerstone Media
