Death House (1986)

Death House: Directed by Carol Frank. With Angela O’Neill, Wendy Martel, Pamela Ross, Nicole Rio. College student Beth and her sorority sisters are stalked by an escaped psychopathic killer who shares a strange telepathic link with her.

“An authentic whack job (John C. Russell) wants out of the mental asylum he is in. Once he escapes he goes to a sorority house where he seems to have a certain connection to a college girl named Beth (Angela Ou0026#39;Neill).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the end this movie is better than it should have really been. Does have some good imagery during the dream sequences, but takes too much from A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and way too much from HALLOWEEN. I thought a big thing that would have worked for the movie was adding some back story to the characters. We do get Bethu0026#39;s, but none of the other characters seem to have much of a back story. None of the male college students have any. Because of this the only characters I really cared about were Beth and John (Vinnie Bilancio). John just seemed to be a nice guy, but man I wanted to get deeper into his character than what I got. You may say thatu0026#39;s what you get for watching a slasher. Maybe, but I am not going to lower my bar just because I am watching a slasher flick. They too can have well-developed characters. I also think by doing this it may have extended the running time a little as it comes in at only 74 minutes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyways, on a side note they end up watching SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, which I do recommend watching and writer/director Carol Frank worked as assistant to the director in that film. As well when some of the college girls decide to go through Cindyu0026#39;s clothes who has gone away for the weekend you are welcomed to Shoulder Pad City. Ahhh the 80s.”
