The gore is great, and the rape/murder scenes are disturbing. The comedy keeps you laughing, and laugh you will.
Though I could have done without the endless spectacle of the three stupid college pals' friendship, once the mayhem gets rolling in this flick you will have a great time (the close look on the three friends' relationship has its moments, however).
The beginning is surprising, gory and funny (a horror fan's dream), and the ending...well, I'm not going to give it away, but let me just say that you NEVER SAW IT COMING! And the funny thing is, you should have. The ending is, without a doubt, SHOCKING. Buy this movie just for the ending if you have to.
This little gem of the 80s is HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!!
