Decent British slasher flick (but without Sheila Keith!!), 21 August 2007
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Perhaps this was the first of Pete Walker's "post-Sheila Keith" films. And I have to say I was disappointed that she wasn't in this, but still, this isn't a bad film. A woman's wedding day fast approaches but she feels that someone is after her, someone from her past. And we see this rather spooky looking character who does seem to be stalking her, and he's staying at the lovely local men's welfare hostel. As the film goes on this woman becomes more and more distraught because of this creepy man shadowing her and she finally reveals that he was her mother's lover, who was also responsible for killing her mother & who has been away for a while for his crimes. But was this crime really his doing? This is one of those films where you've been led to believe something throughout and now it seems that things weren't really what they seemed, and the culprit isn't the obvious one that's been dangled under your nose for the whole film. Not terribly original but not a bad little slasher from Pete Walker, and if you like his films it's worth seeing, or even if you don't. Apparently a lot of people were "bored" by this, well, gees, then go watch Friday the 13th again. 7 out of 10.
