    Featured review

    Finally, a slasher movie with class!

    Linda Blair and her friends are stranded in a remote mansion with a homicidal maniac, who loves to hack peoples heads off and slash their throats. Sound like a simple, predictable premise? Yeah, it pretty much is. But, the direction is smooth and on target, and the acting is very good. There is a little gore, but not too much, and there is plenty of good suspense. You grow to like the four teens tormented in Garth Manor. A successful, highly watchable slasher movie.
