(horror movie review)It Kills(2017.)

The top three of my favourite horror subgenres are slasher, found footage and Hammer horror movies. This one nominally belongs to the slasher subgenre and don´t get me wrong, I love great underground horror, made diy or with little budget, because we often forget that it is the great story that makes good horror movie, not the budget or the effects.

It kills is the writer´s debut for Amy Suzuki, the makeup artist for “Jurassic Prey” and she really botched her job. The classic story used so many times in slasher movies about couple of kids whose car breaks just in the vicinity of so called Camp Blood where evil clown stalks and kills the passengers is so fucked up and used so casual and trashy that not even I could swallow this one, and believe me I saw a lot. The movie was directed by Mark Polonia, known as an editor for “Sharkenstein” and “Land Shark” and the movie is directed like my neighbours ten year old kid did it. Let me say something about the actors and characters, it is soo bad that it made me laugh but I think that this movie was not meant to be a comedy. The guy in the wheelchair especially got on my nerves, was his character some hommage to “Friday the 13th part two” or Bava´s “A Bay of Blood”? Doubt it. The clown is a story for himself. The maniacal killer is so lousy and his mask is a disaster. The gore scenes in the movie are made with cartoon blood and everything pretty much sucks. When I see my review from the beggining up to here, I see that I did not mention any good points about this movie. That´s right. Because there is not a single good thing about this one. Avoid at all cost!
