Reviews:

famous Halloween opening shot done here first
Yes the “original” idea that opens Halloween has to come from on of the opening shots of this film. It’s a hammer being carried through the house instead of a knife but it’s very very close.

That said Halloween is a much better movie, which goes almost without saying. But this does have a lurid feeling and a warped ending. It’s that modest to low budget grunge of the 70’s that oozes sleaze and danger.

Unfortunately the plot here borrows from obvious sources as it goes along which dampens the more original aspects. Tayback fans from his nice guy TV star role will be shocked, or may want to be by seeing him here.

Still warts and all this film has its memorable moments especially for fans of the era.

Not a bad idea but it fizzled badly at the end.
leading lady is 22 and she looks it I cannot complain about “Blood and Lace” because it’s a cheesy horror film–it unabashedly is and sometimes this sort of movie is fun to watch. My complaint is that although the setup for the film is great, the ending was just plain awful.

The film begins with a woman and her lover being bludgeoned with a hammer and then the house begin set ablaze. Yes, there is lots of blood, but because it’s done so slowly and ineptly, it’s really not that tough a scene to watch. Next, the dead woman’s teenage daughter is taken by a cop (Vic Tayback) to social services. The caseworker (Milton Seltzer) is a very hands-off guy–and he puts her in a home for orphans run by a deranged lady (Gloria Graham). She and her nutty assistant are killing off teens and shoving them in a freezer–and our little orphan might just be next.

Now the above description, for a cheesy horror film, is GREAT. So what’s the problem? Well, the ending looks like it was just tacked on, as Tayback returns and then gives a LONG and rather inept exposition to explain everything that has happened in the film. And, to make it worse, he then drops a really weird bombshell. What is it? See the film…I’d hate to ruin this surprise that comes completely from left field!! Overall, this is a rather bad film I wanted to like. Mostly because the ending was just stupid and incomplete. See it for yourself and let me know what you think about the ending….it is quite SPECIAL.

And, by the way, if you think ‘that teenager looks awfully old’, you are right–the ‘teen’ was 22.
