Psycho Cop

(Wallace Potts ;1989)

(Southgate Entertainment)

Six college students take a weekend trip to a mansion in the woods. Slowly their party becomes a terrifying game of survival… and just as they think their prayers have been answered, the most deadly enemy of all has responded to their calls for help… he’s the last cop they’ll ever meet.

Cheap, campy, and formulaic, but oddly entertaining. An American slasher film in every sense of the term, Psycho Cop goes strictly by the book. Copulating teens? Check. Isolated location? Check. Psycho killer who won’t die? Check. The film suffers from a severe lack of T&A despite ample potential as well as being too skimpy on the gore. There’s too many cheap deaths for my liking as well. The acting is horrid and the Psycho Cop is so over the top you can’t help but chuckle. An entertaining diversion for bad movie fans.

Overall Score: 6
