My Review


Must say intro is very cool nice effects but too long almost 3 mins long of credits then a 10 seconds shot of a house I thought they were going to that 1 min lucky from there the picture look like it was film from a home camera or something but it does get bloody as a boy who not treat well from his mom took a sledgehammer and kill her boyfriend and her bloody way to start there.



After that we see group unload from van then we see a moment where it slow down with two lovers with romance music this goes on for least 2 mins before going to next scene really they are probably going to get killed later and they add that can of odd there writers added that but ok. Then we see a guy look around In a garage and he finds the sledgehammer is he the boy from early or is going to be next guy to kill with that weapon not sure soon as camera goes by window of a building music does get creepy you can’t see much with this picture of movie I looked but don’t see much but there something on bottom there that look like something turns out to be light shine from outdoor on window but when music get creepy proves something or someone is watching.



Then after we get adults not teens in my view having a good food fight then we see ladies get clean up see the sledgehammer in hall and later it disappeared will say then after we see guy tell story of what happen in this house will say the guy telling the story was creepy telling it too me that where I think the killer maybe in this group then someone coming down with stairs with sledgehammer hammer and kills guy who was trying to fool everybody they do not show killer face just his boots with sledgehammer.


They did show some of killer face he is wearing a mask not other this world my guess this is low budget movie that for sure odd part the killer appears and disappears like a ghost this movie seem to be quiet a lot with just creepy music it does this a lot with camera shots of house with that scary music.



It was creepy how he went back to kid then adult at end for some reason it was just creepy music and camera angles not much talking, screaming too much just music and killer trying to kill woman he sure miss a lot somebody save wasn’t too much for this one from what I see will say it was gore bloody though.



Not going to lie this is one weird movie for 80’s picture was not best music was ok they sure play it a lot camera angles boy lots of them way too many Look like it was indeed shot with a video camera that for sure will say it not best or worst I see but was very interesting this could of been great if story was great and acting was better and lots of other things this had a lot of problems when I started to watch this look like it film like a fan film there with long shots of house before going next scene also freeze frame for least 2 mins of couple with music in background that there I know this was going to be odd movie they keep doing that though movie with shots like that can of ruin if you watch this movie good luck because you will not indeed find much.




I give Slegehammer (1983) a rating of 4/10
