Trivia
The house that belonged to Dr. Giggles was not a real house but a prop that was set up in a park. The crew built this prop house instead of using a real home so they could blow it up towards the end of the film. See more »Goofs
When Officer Reitz is checking the records on Dr. Giggles, it states on the computer that the patient is 42 years old, but the officer says that the patient is 40 years old. See more »Soundtracks

After escaping from prison and returning to his hometown, a deranged doctor sets about a blood-soaked rampage of vengeance on the citizens in town and forcing one of the locals to find the cause of his rampage before he can finish his work.
An impressive and highly enjoyable slasher, this here has a lot of impressive facets about it that make it enjoyable. Still wrapped in the grip of Freddy Krueger, this one has a wise-cracking killer cracking jokes throughout after each kill, a practice that in theory could grow old quickly but here is actually far more enjoyable than expected due to the high quality use of genuinely funny lines, the black humor ringing true quite often and has some extra enjoyment to the scene it's featured in. That, when added with the rather enjoyable main villain generates a lot of fun in places, and again here it's featured that makes for some fun times. As a slasher, this one has some plentiful moments that generally allow it a great time, from the suspenseful stalking scenes, with an ultra-creepy sequence in a house of mirrors as well as the sequence in the hospital waiting room being the big highlights, but it's got more than enough from the other areas to generate enough of a creepy air that it works nicely as a slasher. As well, the graphic deaths here are done nicely with a variety of different instruments to give it a fun flair as well as dishing out some brutal deaths to go along with it. Though it can grow tiresome after a while with its cheesier nature, it's a pretty funny and enjoyable effort.
Rated R: Graphic Violence, Adult Language, Nudity, and an off-camera sex scene.
