When I read the reviews of people that thought this movie was awful, they obviously missed some of the inside jokes and probably take their slashers way too seriously. This was an amusing slasher with many good qualities. It still suffered from ubiquitous B-movie trappings like some awkward edits, film quality and questionable staging . I don't really give away anything but I put a spoiler alert in just in case. The best way to watch this movie would be to not know anything much about it. The move is above grade because it throws in some twists and turns. I will say that the first victim was a complete surprise! Also, the director is obviously aware of camera angles because he dupes the audience once or twice with what is a cliché camera setup...something I think the people who didn't like it missed. They also missed the time devoted to the "three acts"...another break form normal slasher formula. The killings are mercifully quick without lingering too much. When the killer eventually speaks, his dialogue is deadpan hilarity. And the last third of the movie is completely off the wall...not in the goofy sense but in the sense that it completely breaks from convention. The ending was pretty darn amusing, as well. It may not be worthy of classic cult movie status, but parts of it are classic.
