Jumping fairly late on the slasher-movie bandwagon, this stylish but hollow effort from director Manny Coto stars L.A. Law's Larry Drake as the psychopathic Evan Rendell, who fancies himself a misunde... read more

Larry Drake plays a demented Doctor who causes a lot of death. It's violent, but not overly gorey. It's not very suspenseful or scary. It's not very funny either. I didn't see anything special about it.

One of my favorite when I was a teen. I watched this movie dozen of
time.
This is a twisted and hilarious slasher flix that will make you laugh out. -

More silly slasher than horror comedy but not utterly terrible. The constant giggling is the most memorable part (except where the "Dr." forgot for a bit while on a murderous rampage). A throwback to the 80's slasher genre with even a bit of backstory as to why he kills and gigg... read more

I kind of wanted to like this more than I did, as the whole film has a definite Dark Castle Entertainment feeling to it, in that it's very '90s looking and never really gets all that scary.
I am happy to have finally seen it, but I don't know that I would return to it very often... read more

The numbing familiarity of everything in the film just makes the cartoonish bits look ridiculous. Full Review
more one liners than schwarzenegger could dream off
Exposes the darker side of Benny from L.A. Law.
More proof that the early nineties were horror's low-point.
Larry Drake was born to play a slasher villain!
Good potential with the crazy doctor, but it turns into just another slasher movie. The cop breaking up the party is the best scene.
Amusingly bad horror flick
The slasher stuff isn't half bad, but you have to suffer through comedy material that feels like glass in your brain.
