Also apparently stylized as Sweet 16.
I flick this on cuz Amazon recommends it and I get midway through before I realized I'd seen it before. That's ok, I've seen a lot before. I watched it again. It was Don Shanks as the Native American character Jason that clued me in, I recognized him. Don Shanks, I did not know, also played Michael Myers in Halloween 5.
Also, apparently, the role of the elder statesman character was supposed to be Leslie Nielsen. A small change would've made this a lot better. Nah, I kid tho, this movie is good.
Aleisa Shirley is one of the main characters, I don't know who I should say was the real main character, but she is a nice change from the typical focus. Sexual and a bit catty she and several other people are involved in some killings in a local town. It is all getting blamed on the Native character Jason, and the cops arrest him while others are still being hunted.
This movie is pretty solid as a slasher. The tropes at this point are to make the victims unlikeable, but it will get worse from here and this is not as bad as some time later on in horror movies. The kills are pretty minimal, I think this must've been made when the MPAA was cracking down a little on blood. There are a couple topless shots and a little full bush. Can't go wrong there.
I like it, I'll give it 4 stars.
