A Disfigured Man with Razor Blades for Fingers

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2020)

This film begins with a teenage girl named "Tina Gray" (Amanda Wyss) having terrible dreams about a disfigured man with razor blades for fingers chasing her in the dark of night. Upon awakening she then proceeds to school and tells three of her friends about it. To her horror she finds that they too are having similar nightmares. Not knowing what else to do they gather at Tina's house that night while her mother is in Las Vegas and suddenly Tina's dream comes alive as she is sliced to death in bed while her horrified boyfriend "Rod Lane" (Jsu Garcia) looks on. Naturally, since there was nobody else seen in the room at the time Rod is arrested and charged for Tina's murder. However, while in his cell he too becomes a victim of the same disfigured man with razor blades for fingers-and the killer is just getting started. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie pretty much earned its place among other established slasher films of the time like "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" garnering $57 million dollars worldwide and competing quite successfully with those aforementioned franchises as well. In short, those who are looking for a good 80's slasher film should certainly be pleased with this particular picture and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
