Who could resist this slice of 80s slasher mayhem from director John Russo? Released on the ever popular Alpha/Intervision label sporting an instantly memorable sleeve, this low budget shocker features Lawrence Tierney in the role of the alcoholic cop stepfather who tries to get overfriendly with his 17 year old stepdaughter.... at which point she runs away from home. Thats when her troubles begin as she gets involved with a couple of likeable lads with a penchant for survival by shoplifting, and a couple of crazy cops out to kidnap young ladies for their mamma's crazy sacrificial rites! And then its up to the heroic pervy cop from the start to come and rescue his stepdaughter from the depraved family in a tense and exciting climax. Featuring a memorable score, and a very catchy theme song, this was a highly successful renter back in the day. The pre cert is slightly cut.
