Man! those were the 80's slashers... "Evil Laugh" is among other movies that tried to grab a piece of the gold mine of the 80's slashers. Sadly, this movie is terrible in all aspects. The dialog, the music (the music please!), and the acting are horrible. But there's something about this movie that makes it enjoyable. I really regret for not buying the VHS when I could.
Anyways, you've seen the plot many times before. A group of (guess what?) teenagers stay in a house at night and fall victims of a (guess what?) maniac. Don't pay attention to the box cover, it has little to do with the movie.
Still the gore makes the movie watchable. It tries to be brutal and shocking but only generates laughs. Although the sub-plot concerning a child molestor is dark, the movie follows a series of non sense events that have zero creepiness.
The ending will please you if you enjoy ULTRA CHEESY scenes. I won't spoil it but expect something like "April Fool's Day".
Do yourself a favor and watch it if you loved the 80's slashers.
Also, this movie has one of the most disturbing scenes on any slasher flick. When a couple is making love (or about to) the dorky guy, hiding under the bed, starts to rub the man's butt and seems to enjoy it! When the couple find out about the dorky guy they just start to laugh. That was one scene I want to erase from my memory.
