Slaughter High - 2/5 - Blah hard one to get into. 80s horror film. Nerd gets picked on by a gang of kids. Gang of kids severely burn the nerd who is carted away. Fast forward 10ish years later, gang of kids reunite at the school and party. Masked man come back to murder them for what they have done. At first the movie felt like a lot of the 80 films like April Fools, Prom Night, Happy Birthday to Me. Slaughter High has a weaker cast of characters, script and charm... so it was harder to enjoy. There are a few enjoyable kills like the lawn mower which is probably the highlight of the movie. The movie is shot in the dark 80% of the time which isn't a great choice. There aren't too many funny moments and the ending is very much a miss. Overall Slaughter High is a crappy 80s movie. If you wanna see a better movie which follows the same formula and is more enjoyable, go watch Prom Night.
The Stranger - 2/5 - Steve Austin forgets who he is and murders a bunch of people on the way to figuring out himself. Erica Cerra is attractive, action is bland and story isn't that great. I guess if you are a huge Steve Austin fan you probably already watched this movie. I don't think The Stranger is a good direct to dvd action movie, im sure Seagal or Dolph has some better ones available atm. The story doesn't carry the movie...which I think they thought it would. The twists and turns in the story aren't that dramatic or surprising. I really wish the action was better since a couple good scenes could have saved the weak story. Do not rent if you are looking for an action movie. The Stranger is more of a Thriller which is not that interesting.
