Gerald McCraney might have been belled as Suzanne's boyfriend on "Designing Women", but in this messy and boring slasher film, he's the one apparently doing the de-belling. He's a Mama's boy who hates his mama (and for good reason), and becomes the main suspect in a series of brutal slayings of the various women he dates. The slayings are brutal and graphic, but the film is slow moving and pointless except for those who enjoy seeing gushing blood, rotting corpses, and apparent acid trips accompanied by some chilling music.
This anti-establishment movie doesn't even benefit from the grooviness of the structure or the apparent motive for those killings, involving McCraney's nightmares over the death of his older brother years before. I figured this out long before the ridiculous twist, and it genuinely is a rip-off of a better made slasher film that has become a classic. The pacing gets painfully slow at times, making me surprised that I actually got through it. The eerie opening music and the band's song are by far the best things that happen here.
