About
You might enjoy this if you like late-80s slashers with campy humor, a teen love-triangle setup, and a light mystery vibe in the vein of Sweet Sixteen or Popcorn; Not for you if you want strong scares or a polished story.
Pros: campy 80s fun; playful whodunit angle; entertaining enough | Cons: uneven second half; light on scares; very hit-or-miss
