The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Crimewave (1985)

Starring: Brion James, Sheree Wilson, Paul L. Smith
Director: Sam Raimi

Premise:
A pair of exterminators/hitmen murder terrorize the tennents of an apartment building after killing the owner of buglar alarm company.

My Take:
A movie set in the 30's with "Looney Tunes" type violence and comedy. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me and ends up being rather unfunny. The two psychos are convincing characters though and movie does move with speed. A missed opprotunity by a lot talented people early in their careers.

Rating: Warning
