Now I'm ashamed of that stuff I wrote before, that slasher movies weren't that bad, that the non-murder scenes tended to be sort of relaxed and laid back. I watched a YouTube video listing horror movies of the '80's that critics just couldn't appreciate at the time, and this was one of them. It was on Tubi so I turned it on.
I guess the gore effects were impressive if you're impressed by that sort of thing, but the movie in general wasn't much. A fellow came home from World War Two and killed his former girlfriend who broke up with him by mail. Thirty-five years later, his old uniform still fits. He starts murdering college kids using a bayonet and a pitchfork. With Lawrence Tierney. Farley Granger appears briefly. Gore effects by Tom Savini.
Directed by Joseph Zito (Friday the Thirteenth: The Final Chapter, Missing in Action, Invasion, USA).
