Day of the Reaper (1984)



I think this is my second review of a Tim Ritter film. He made this during high school on Super 8, then added a narrative track and the VHS transfer was done by videotaping a screening of the film, all reportedly for $1000. Technically, this is as bad as it gets. It's very much inspired by H.G. Lewis, even down to the quality; a killer stalks five women - that's the plot, or as much plot as one can discern. It's a standard slasher, poorly conceived and executed, but has a loyal following because of its naive cheesiness, which is almost endearing after having watched thousands of these things.
