Oh yeah! It's 80's Camp Horror time! Bloody hell yeah!
Last Friday every true slasherfan watched one of our all-time favourites: Friday 13th
So did I. I tasted blood again. I flipped through my collection of yet unseen camp-horror-flicks and found todays subject, "The final terror".
Shot in 1981 and released in 1983 this movie exactly hits the right time when it comes to the good olde camping violentia. The soundtrack supports this feeling with cheap but groovy synthie tracks and bloodsimple piano lesson stuff. Lovely.
The style of this one is dark, a little more serious and mean than most other camper slashers, and we don't get so many dead twens. THAT is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong. I appreciate lots of gory deaths and screaming girls running through the woods, I certainly do. Here you get a good amount of both, but more suspense, less blood.
To make it short you get a list of the pro's:
- There's a mental institution near the camp site
- A psychotic busdriver
- There's kinky sex AND dying twens while having it
- Drug abuse
- Hilarious para-military head covers
- Daryl Hannah as scream queen
- A bitter-sweet Friday 13th hommage in the end
Two more things:
Quote: " We've got Romeo and Juliet lost in the woods somewhere, a driver who's an absolute lunatic, a quite unnecessarily broken wrist, I mean, what is wrong with you people?"
Never heard a sentence filled with more accurate awesomeness in a movie!
Towards the end we actually LEARN something from this movie:
If you're ever in the situation of being hunted by a psycho dressing as a bush, dress as bushes yourselves. It's the only way to get to him/her.
Screaming orgasms!
