Masterful Movie
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Vicious serial killer Douglas Fisher was executed by the police on Easter Sunday. Twenty-four years later a bunch of young folks conjure Fisher's spirit, which takes possession of Fisher's son Ryan (robustly played with unhinged glee by Jason Delgado) so Fisher can embark on another gruesome murder spree.Writer/director Jeremy Todd Morehead delivers oodles of deliciously over the top gore (one gal is cut in half, heads are chopped off, throats are sliced open, and so on), pays affectionate homage to 80's slasher fare, maintains an engaging tongue-in-cheek tone throughout (naturally, the wacko cracks plenty of choice cornball one-liners), goes hysterically overboard with the outrageously excessive profanity (the f-bomb gets dropped with gut-busting regularity), and tosses in one hot buck naked babe for trashy good measure. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast of reliable horror genre veterans: Robert Z'Dar attacks the juicy role of the gruff Sheriff Arkin with growly gusto, Ari Lehman has a ball as a deranged postman, and Edward X. Young contributes an on-target sharp turn as sardonic demonologist Angus Bradley. The rough cinematography by John Fabian and Jared Jameison provides an appropriately gritty look. Dave Ferguson's flesh-crawling synthesizer score hits the spirited shivery spot. A real campy hoot.
This movie is absolutely delightful. It is unapologetically over the top campy at its finest! I had the largest grin on my face in between genuine laugh out loud moments. Best of all, you've got some cult classic heavy hitters in here, such as Ari Lehman and even one of Robert Z'Dar's final performances! Cannot recommend this movie enough. This is the best horror movie about Easter Sunday that you never knew you wanted.
