Jumping fairly late on the slasher-movie bandwagon, this stylish but hollow effort from director Manny Coto stars L.A.

Critic Reviews

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    It attempts some gallows humor but is largely imitative, shamelessly ripping off every slasher film that went before it.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    Dopey, absurd fun...

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

    The numbing familiarity of everything in the film just makes the cartoonish bits look ridiculous.

  • Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is

    Larry Drake plays a demented Doctor who causes a lot of death. It's violent, but not overly gorey. It's not very suspenseful or scary. It's not very funny either. I didn't see anything special about it.
