    A well made though rather routine offering that fits nicely between teen slasher and thriller. There's nothing really new here by way of plot or presentation but the film works anyway mainly due to a solid performance from Heard and Welch and director Levine takes worn horror cli...( read more)ches and puts a slight, interesting spin on them.
    All in all not great but well worth a look for those searching for a new-gen slasher. Fair warning: there is an appropritae level of violence in this BUT understand this is not a gorefest.
    My main problem is something Lurple has already said best, "...the ending of this movie could really have used a little more background explanation." And he's right because there just wasn't enough there to justify what has transpired for the last hour or so. Oh well, at least it doesn't ruin the film so that's always a good thing.

    Mandy Lane was a very pleasant surprise. The soundtrack was killer, and it really added to the atmosphere and overall coolness of the movie. Some of the camera angles and shooting techniques also made this a good bit more stylish than the average slasher flick.

    The cast is pret...( read more)ty typical for this kind of thing, as are their deaths. But there were a couple wrinkled in the plot that, while maybe not completely unexpected, at least kept the movie interesting for me. All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is one of the best slasher films that I've seen in a while. It's not perfect (and not a horror movie), but it's worth giving a chance.

    Bog standard teen horror flick with absolutely nothing really worthy of note. The cast of unknowns are all very pretty and die in a predictaby methodical manner, with some unintentionally humorous results. Aside from a half-decent twist toward the end, the rest is just something ...( read more)to chuck in the DVD player on a mindless afternoon. That said, it's not that it's a bad movie at all. Just a decent addition to an already very tired genre. You can't help but think that an original idea colud have gone a long way on this one.

    One of those movies where I feel the best bit of praise I can give is, "Well congrats, you made a movie that isn't altogether terrible."

    SPOILERS (for dumb people) AHEAD
    Another flick in the long line of recent releases looking to add their own commentary to the larger pantheon ...( read more)of slasher films. This one's very obvious and predictable contribution is "the survivor girl is in on the killing scheme".

    Too often using the overexposed technique, obviously a DP who has never done a water shoot before, and film-makers who think slow-time is not an annoying cinematic device that gives away jumpscares. Unfortunately, though so flawed, this is one of the better filmed slashers out at the moment.

    I have no empathy for any of the characters and therefore do not care when they are killed. They are all self-absorbed privileged douchebags who epitomize all that can be wrong with the teenage populace, and it seems that the black character's douchebaggery is toned down a good deal so as to be PC. Only Mandy Lane and her odd former best friend are empathetic, which perhaps may be the true point of the film - realistic and developed teen characters hacking away at the cardboard cliche scream teens.

    Some nice kills, especially the eye slashing and the rifle end through the throat. Not any real suspense or tension however.

    I'd say skip, but if you are hellbent on a teen slasher, this might do you good to see something with more of an attempt at a Natural Born Killers/Bonnie and Clyde/Mysterious Skin spin than say a dull franchise addon like later installments of Friday the 13th or Halloween.

    I'm really surprised at a lot of the average reviews for this. Maybe the hardcore horror fans were expecting a lot more gore, higher death toll, or maybe it's because this doesn't even feel like a true horror film. However I really enjoyed it and felt it was quite original with a...( read more) great ending. It does remind me of another film with a similar ending but can't remember it right now. This is a very good film, well shot, with a good cast and a rememberable ending!

    Though being a thriller it got no element that describe it different than usual thriller or horror. With just not so clever script it wud at least had been fun if it was able to create a little amount of terror.
  • January 26, 2010
    Above average horror with no name cast (not that I had ever heard of anyhow). Started off a little lame, and I was totally disgusted when the killer was revealed half way through, (I mean, what was the point of watching the rest?!), but it had a nice little twist I really didn't...( read more) see coming and redeemed itself.
    I am actually surprised it is rating so low on here. I mean, if you don't like teen horror flicks, you are not going to like this either, but for it's genre, it is not bad at all and though you have your usual crass teens getting polished off one by one, they are actually not entirely unlikeable and generic as in most. The girl characters in particular I was actually sorry to see killed - usually in these you just think, get on with it, she's awful, LOL. The boys a little less so, but you can't have everything in a b grade horror movie.

    A little more than your normal slasher. The film features some very good cinematogrophy and has an excellent tone through most of the runtime. While it lost its way a little towards the end, the opening and overall unique approach make this worthwhile for horror fans.

    8/10

    A crappy movie with a half-decent ending.

Like far too many modern horror films, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane flaunts its knowledge of classic genre fundamentals but fails to do anything very clever or surprising with them. full review
