Okay, was pretty off guessing the year on this one, I guessed much earlier in the 80s.
Maybe it's because 11th here moves pretty slow, or maybe it's just the oddness of it feels a bit more 70s experimental than mid 80s when the slasher was so much more in vogue. Not sure exactly what it was that made me start this movie on Tubi, but it was sure more of a bizarre psychological flick than anything else.
Early on in this movie, crazy guy and instituted guy Robert escapes from the nut hatch and finds his 8 year old cousin, who he picks up from ballet practice and takes with him on a small killing spree in Los Angeles. They work their way back to her home where he is going to confront her dad and his uncle, who is a corrupt businessman.
Definitely a very odd movie here. Tonally uneven? Sure. Oddly paced? You betcha. Kinda good though? Sure! It's a real mixed bag of a sympathetic look at psychopathy and gratuitous violence, with good actor portrayals to really sell it.
This movie is not like a horror classic by any means but it does at least present some new angles, ideas, and cool stuff. I give it a solid 3.5
