This one started out promising enough. OUT OF NOWHERE, a random sword chops off a dummy's head and then stabs through a playdough neck. Then, the film focuses on fat doofy cops questioning people forever. This leads to nowhere... Then, more killing! This time, not near as gory. Then, the film focuses on fat doofy cops questioning people forever. This, again, leads to nowhere... Then, we're in a carnival, and the cops are chasing around a completely unrelated killer. They somehow make it back to the drive-in and then there's a "twist" ending (which I actually liked -- it seemed unintentionally daring in a way). And then it ends.
And that's about it. A film that pretty much does nothing and is nothing but isn't a bad time by any means. In fact, I had a pretty good time with this film, but I was disappointed by the fact that the first killing was the only one with any gore (see Unmasked Part 25 for another example..). Entertaining and hilarious but skippable. Average.... except for the film's soundtrack. Man, what was with THAT? I'm not talking about the song at the beginning of the film ("Summer nights, midnight dreams swept away, he appears without a warning, stays the night and leaves the morning..."). The rest of the score was an off-time drum machine with maybe two sounds and two really bad keyboard players playing at the same time. It seemed to evoke no response whatsoever: it wasn't terrifying, it wasn't melodic, it sounded like nothing. Weird.
