Having traveled from Virginia Beach to Pennsylvania, it was like entering the tundra. When I left it was in the 60s, now 20s with snow. What fun. So, as I chill at the house, I decided to revisit a 80s slasher as I transport myself back to my youth with the 1984 entry The Mutilator (AKA Fall Break)
Plot: Years after the accidental death of his wife, a deranged man starts to slice and dice his son's friends at a beachfront condominium.
Talk about a mindless slasher. This is another VHS flashback that knew its place in the heart of the slasher craze. With a weird almost meaningless storyline, this one navigate from kill to kill effortlessly with some interesting (yet predictable) kills, a solid pace, and gore. The performances are not bad and the movie is definitely entertaining. Yes, most of it feels dated today and the effects are not great, but if you are searching for something to help you pass a winter day away, this one should work. Not for everyone, but if you love 80s slasher films, give it a shot.
