Okay, this is actually a lousy film, and I knew who the killer was very early in the movie, but it's a lot of fun and has an interesting cast including Sam and Ted Raimi, Bruce Campbell and even the immortal Emil Sitka from the 3 Stooges!  And he says his famous, "Hold hands, you love birds" line!

The story involves a bunch of people working overnight in a supermarket to set up a big sale for the next day.  Naturally, they are slaughtered one by one in an orgy of cheap (but ambitious) gore murders.  My favorite scene is when a guy gets the top of his head cut off with a band saw.

This is the uncut version (the original videotape release years ago was edited for an R-rating) and looks great on blu-ray (far superior to the YouTube clip below).  The disc also includes a very interesting documentary about how they made this low-budget gore-fest.  It was filmed in an abandoned supermarket that the producers paid $2,500 to use.  They stocked the shelves with cans and boxes of various foods that were removed from supermarkets because of dented/crushed packaging.

Not a great movie by any means, but worth seeing just so you can tell people you have seen it.

On first watch I thought it was kinda dumb with lots of "interesting" shots thrown in for good measure. However on several repeat watches, I really enjoyed it. By the late 80s, as most of you may know, slashers ran out of steam (see Edge Of The Axe), but I think this one's an exception. A really FUN FUN FUN FUN exception.  Burgo, if you think it's lousy why is it in the 'good movie' section?  Wink

As I said, "but it's a lot of fun and has an interesting cast."  So I decided to put it here even though I don't consider it to be a "good" film.

I hate how the trailer gives away the identity of the killer right away.

It doesn't really matter.  It's obvious who the killer is very early in the movie.

I love a comfy feel-good movie with dead people in it!  Hopefully I'll get it watched either tonight or tomorrow.   TeddyR
