1988 - 94m.

Ten years after being bullied and falling into a well (and killing his mother apparently, since this is never shown); a guy escapes from an asylum and heads back home to take his revenge on everyone who ever made fun of him as a child.

Director/writer Reynolds knows all the slasher movie conventions and he pulls them off okay for the most part despite the fact the acting is a little amateurish, the musical score rips-off Halloween's and that the last third is particularly weak.

This is pretty skippable with the decent moments (like ironic garage scene which is morbidly funny) being cancelled out by the bad (like when the sheriff visit's the killers old house) with all the deaths being kept in the shadows.

Not bad considering but it really could have done without the the two male characters who are obnoxious and order women around and a deputy who's doing a really lame Don Knotts as Barney Fife impersonation.
