2003 / India (advance look)
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!).
2002 / USA / *** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"DeFalco’s slasher romp arguably satirises Hollywood in a more entertaining way than SCREAM 3."
2024 / Canada / **** (JA Kerswell)
"Well acted and benefiting from some clever dialogue, this hits the right notes on both the grue and the laughs."
2013 / Spain / *** (JA Kerswell)
"Short and sometimes sweet, the Spanish BLOODY APRIL FOOLS riffs off ‘80s slasher SLAUGHTER HIGH (1986)"
1985 / Mexico / *** (JA Kerswell)
"A thoroughly entertaining slice of telenovela—or rather, would be terrornovela."
1992 / US / *** (JA Kerswell)
"
What MIKEY perhaps lacks in marquee value, it makes up for in sheer notoriety and its slasher movie stylings."
2021 / Germany / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"A group of young workers preparing a theatre are hunted down by someone in a wolf mask with an oversized claw."
2005/ Japan / *** (JA Kerswell)
"This occasionally creepy but slow-going slasher whodunnit is a relatively rare example of the subgenre from Japan."
1978 / US / ** 1/2 (JA Kerswell)
"Often inept, but occasionally hilarious —and accompanied by a surprisingly rousing disco/funk soundtrack."
1982 / Imprint (Australia)
