Viewing Notes

My friend Pat’s pick for the last movie of 2011 on New Year’s Eve. (I count the day in which I start the movie, not when it ends. Since we started it at 11:45 p.m. it falls in 2011 for me.)

I love this movie! Great blend of pseudo punk rock and slasher. The plot is flimsy but the actor who plays the killer is nicely deranged and fun to watch.

This is something of a tradition for movie geeks to watch on NYE, but a first-time viewing for me.
