My predicted rating: 2.5
This ticks a lot of the usual boxes for a typical teen Slasher, regardless it was one that flowed and was easy watching, predictable, but enjoyable in a guilty pleasure kind of way.
Amber Heard,
Anson Mount,
Michael Welch,
Whitney Able,
Edwin Hodge

"Everyone is dying to be with her. Someone is killing for it."
A group of high-schoolers invite Mandy Lane, a good girl who became quite hot over the summer, to a weekend party on a secluded ranch. While the festivities rage on, the number of revelers begins to drop quite... read more -

Above average horror with no name cast (not that I had ever heard of anyhow). Started off a little lame, and I was totally disgusted when the killer was revealed half way through, (I mean, what was the point of watching the rest?!), but it had a nice little twist I really didn't... read more

A well made though rather routine offering that fits nicely between teen slasher and thriller. There's nothing really new here by way of plot or presentation but the film works anyway mainly due to a solid performance from Heard and Welch and director Levine takes worn horror cli... read more

Mandy Lane was a very pleasant surprise. The soundtrack was killer, and it really added to the atmosphere and overall coolness of the movie. Some of the camera angles and shooting techniques also made this a good bit more stylish than the average slasher flick.
The cast is pret... read more -

Great title. Like an evil playground chant. This teen horror-thriller flick is alike The O.C. meets Friday the 13th. Amber Heard's nice gal is boring rather than loveable, and her friends are assholes. There's little suspense, with the killer revealed early, althoug... read more

One of those movies where I feel the best bit of praise I can give is, "Well congrats, you made a movie that isn't altogether terrible."

I'm really surprised at a lot of the average reviews for this. Maybe the hardcore horror fans were expecting a lot more gore, higher death toll, or maybe it's because this doesn't even feel like a true horror film. However I really enjoyed it and felt it was quite original with a... read more

Starts as a typical teen film with horny guys and willing women. Except Mandy Lane, of course. She's portrayed as a pure, fine young woman.
Midways it continues as a stalker/slasher movie that brings nothing new to the genre. There's not that much gore for example which was a m... read more -

Nicely shot indie slasher flick with desent acting and some bloody killings.Under the skin it is just a slasher movie that we have seen 100 times before.And the twist at the end was very predictabe.
Not the best movie around but you could do much worst.
Critic Reviews
A partly smart, mostly dumb addition to the teen horror sweepstakes -- smart in how it neatly catches the petty, hurtful, sexy and druggy aspects of high school life, dumb in how it makes absolutely n... Full Review
Cluttered with obnoxious CW-scented teen characterizations, cartoonish parades of clumsy adolescent lust, and fruitless stabs of suspense, Lane is a rotten idea all around. Full Review
So self-conscious that the movie feels like a feature length music video that's too busy admiring itself it the mirror to make any sense.
As it is, Mandy Lane feels bogus and compromised: an unreconstructed horror romp in the guise of a nerdish intellectual. Full Review
One of the more memorable teen-oriented horror movies of the last few years. As much a comment on the objectification of women as it is a grimy, violent, enthralling slasher pic. Full Review
A rather dull meat-and-potatoes slasher film front-loaded with lots of tedium where character development used to go. Full Review
The film is pretty good, but suffers a little bit from serious-itis. Full Review
Think of it as "There's Something About Mary" with a twist of "Friday the 13th"... Full Review
