Weird trippy, trippy movie. Horror, comedy, satire, 70's vibe...
The story: when a med student is murdered, his friends fall under suspicion from the local cops. It all started when the kids were poking around (illegally) in the records and found tapes of psych sessions with a notorious murder/rapist couple who now seem to be coming back in people's dreams to kill and rape them.
Was it good?
Wow, this was weird. At times it felt so low budget and so cheey I hated it. Other times it was oddly cool. The strange comic vibe I think hurt it making it hard to take any of it seriously, so it never really gets scary or creepy and makes the acting annoying as hell in places. Still, there was a lot that was interesting. The story of the murder/rapist couple and the idea that these people listened to the tapes and now are being haunted (or hunted) by the couple was cool. And there was just enough that was weirdly interesting to keep me watching. Still the ending while it gives the movie it's first emotional moment, it's also the sort of cop out that I hate (no, I won't give it away).
Not sure what to put. It didn't work enough as a horror movie to recommend it. It didn't work as a comedy. And yet, it was oddly interesting...
*** AVOID and RECOMMEND (recommend as a weird/trippy movie...avoid if you want a regular horror and/or comedy movie)
