THE MUTILATOR

     Howl like a werewolf , like I do , to the B-Movie gods. Or to the Old Ones , the Deep Ones or Satan if he's your bag of tricks 'cos I finally saw THE MUTILATOR! I've always heard about it but just never got around to getting it 'cos it cost over $25.00 on amazon. Which it is definitely not worth , but if you are as indepth and seriously crazy about horror movies , especially 80's slashers than you sorta have to see THE MUTILATOR. And after seeing it it got me thinking what makes a good horror movie. THE MUTILATOR is not as good as FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 4 , or HALLOWEEN , or NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET but it is still good , better than %80 of other 80's slashers and for sure better than todays wannabe slashers but not as good as THE HILLS HAVE EYES remake , or SEVERANCE , or BLADE 2. And then I though how THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: Kravens Last Hunt which is at heart a horror story and is a AWESOME story , so well thought out and executed. Why can't slashers be this deep and memorable as Kravens Last Hunt?
     THE MUTILATOR  was made in 1985 , smack dab in the middle of the 80's so it has that decades charm and the gore efx and great and it does have a lonely windswept atmosphere to it and the music is pretty good. Plus the killer is a little different than usual and if you could find it for $10.00 , maybe even $15.00 , it would be worth it to add to your slasher collection. /arty
