Read the new review before anyone else and help with the running costs of Hysteria Lives! for as little as $1 via Ko-Fi (I will send you an advance link!).
1989 / USA / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"A woman escapes from a mental institution for the criminally insane and arrives at her adult son's house, claiming she’s come to stay."
2014 / China / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"This deliciously overstuffed Chinese cod-supernatural slasher throws multiple twists, each more ludicrous than the last."
1971 /USA/Sweden / **** (JA Kerswell)
"A slow-paced yet captivating locked room mystery with proto-slasher tendencies."
2003 / USA / ** (JA Kerswell)
"Sometimes more like a soft-core skin flick, it’s arguably worth sticking around until the end for a cheesy but slightly effective finale."
1985 / USA / *** (JA Kerswell)
"
A light yet entertaining mix of supernatural slasher-lite hokum. David Hasselhoff fights a resurrected Jack the Ripper in Arizona."
2012 / Indonesia / ** (JA Kerswell)
"
A psycho in an ornate dragon mask, supernatural apparitions and … fart jokes? "
1975 / USA / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
This bewildering piece of what-the-fuckery from the polyester decade, features kung-fu fights and someone tossing coconuts at the killer."
1989 / US / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"
Not to be confused with the John Goodman comedy ... a decidedly oddball late ‘80s slasher from Canada."
