Trivia
This is Mike Kellin's final film. He was sick during filming, but did his best to conceal it. He died of lung cancer in August 1983, three months before the film's release.

Goofs
The cop at the end of the movie has an obviously fake mustache.

Quotes

Ricky: Eat shit and live, Bill.

Crazy credits
At the end when all the credits are finished, the freeze-frame of Angela stays onscreen for about 10 more seconds.

That Ending! (Spoiler-Free)

As far as discount Friday the 13th slasher ripoffs go, this one is pretty average for the most part. It's weird, and the ominous tone of uncertainty is held throughout the entire film. It's a movie that's not afraid to deal with some heavy subjects while at the same time sticking to the slasher genre. For its time and budget, the effects are pretty good too. It's an extremely campy movie but it's one that stands out from the others in the sense that it's one you'll never forget for the twist ending. It's perhaps one of the most well-known - and shocking, especially given the societal changes between then and now - twist endings in history. But I'm not here to spoil the movie; go give it a shot and see what you think.
