Bosomy, bad-to-the-bone biker chicks turn a peaceful town upside down in this violent exploitation outing. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
This underrated teen-revenge horror film starring Stephen Geoffreys (Fright Night) was the directorial debut of Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series. Geoffreys plays Hoax, a picked-on nerd who lives with his religious-nut mother Lucy (the marvelous Sandy Dennis). One day Hoax calls a 976-line for a "Horrorscope," and the demonic voice at the other end starts giving him wicked advice. Before long, he has killed his brother's girlfriend with tarantulas, slashed the face of a teen tough with his newly-sprouted talons, and gutted several of his tormentors. Only a well-meaning journalist and a sexy schoolmarm can stop the now-demonic Hoax before he sends the whole neighborhood straight to Hell. Granted, the screenplay is rather confused and slow-moving, but Geoffreys and Dennis are great, the effects work by Kevin Yagher is skillful, and this is one of the few teen-horror films with characters that are actually interesting. Look for Robert Picardo (The Howling) in a fun cameo as the diabolical Mark Darke. After a brief stint as a teen star, Geoffreys went on to appear in gay porn films as "Sam Ritter." ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Slow Moves -- an extremely low-budget contemporary film noir produced, written and directed by independent filmmaker Jon Jost -- tells the story of two strangers, Jeff (Marshall Gaddis) and Julie (Roxanne Rogers) who meet on the Golden Gate Bridge and fall in love. They have no money and wander across the country in a beat-up car. Jeff eventually begins robbing back-roads stores, a decision that ultimately leads to tragedy. The film was shot in only 4 1/2 days on an amazing budget of only $8000. While based on an interesting premise, and possessing an intelligent plot, the film suffers from the lack of chemistry between the lead characters. But, this highly unusual, low-budget film is interesting if only to observe the ingenuity of its director Jost, as he substitutes character and dialogue for more costly effects. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi
