1985 / Mexico / *** (JA Kerswell)
"
A direct sequel to THE DEATH OF THE JACKAL, with the killer returning after faking his death to continue his bloody rampage in a small port town in Texas."
1984 / UK / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
A mad mystery killer, with a seeming Giallo obsession, murders with a flashing sabre blade in this Mexican Golden Age slasher film shot in Texas."
2009 / USA / *** (JA Kerswell)
"
Another example of why a trip to the great outdoors might not be a great idea—especially in West Virginia. Not perfect, but not nearly as bad as you might have been led to believe."
1993 / Mexico / *** (JA Kerswell)
"Despite having one of the most obvious killer reveals in slasher movie history, it delivers some spicy, overblown melodrama and some effectively splashy gore gags ."
1990 / Argentina / ** (JA Kerswell)
"
If you thought North Americans ruled the roost for SOV atrocities in 1990, somebody in Argentina said, "Hold my cerveza!”"
1989 / USA / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"What could have easily been called BOOBS ISLAND, [this] is a Florida-lensed slasher so obscure it was never released in North America."
2026 / USA / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"The seventh SCREAM instalment is an uneven but often highly entertaining burst of slasher chaos."
1976 / Italy / **** (JA Kerswell)
"Someone is killing members of an exclusive bourgeois sex club and leaving a page from a book of fairy tales next to each body."
1982 / Imprint (Australia)
