great movie but 2 is the best
This was a great film ,actually all three are very entertaining.The movie had some great deaths and pretty good makeup effects.Plus Bruce Campbell.A good 80′s cheesefest.
This was an ok film. The thing I can say that I did really like about it was the idea of a killer cop and it making people feel unsecure around cops and even scared of them. Some other ideas in the story line are cool too but I dont want to give away to much. Other then that its really just another cheesy 80s horror film but was still entertaining and I enjoyed it but doubt I would watch it again.
Enjoyable blend of slasher and cop movie. It has its weak moments and the story is a bit lame, but for the rest it’s quite cool. Suspenseful, action-packed and sometimes quite funny. The kills are mostly great, the killer cop looks stunning and Bruce Campbell & Tom Atkins are always a joy.
Great film.
i saw this when i was very young. it’s still fun to watch to this day. not very good, just fun.
80′s cheesey horror – takes the classic framed cop/ bad cop genre and ads a good gory twist. A surprisingly understated role for Bruce Campbell- I love him, but you really didn’t need him cast for the role. More slasher than monster movie with a lot of unanswered questions about just exactly what the maniac is – in a good way (always nice when they keep the monster in the shadows for much of the film). Less silly than I expected, but a good one to cross off the list.
