The Majorettes

Daft but strangely endearing horror which starts out as a by-the-numbers slasher with a traditional masked and camouflaged heavy-breathing killer stalking the local college kids, but by the end the film resembles Commando.

There are only a few decent acting performances (Tommy, Nicole, Teela, Bart) but generally the performance are terrible and pretty funny, especially the over-acting by Tom Desrocher (Mace Jackson).

In the middle is a sub-plot about a dodgy nurse who is trying to bump off a few characters with the help of her village idiot son, who looks a bit like Stephen King in Creepshow.

I saw the film advertised years back in Fangoria and I liked the look and sound of it: it wasn't quite what I expected but it's enjoyably daft if you aren't looking for perfect.

In the same Fangoria piece, director Bill Hinzman makes the absurd claim that the makeup effects guy on 'The Majorettes' Jerry Gergely, is better FX man than Tom Savini.....having seen both mens work, I can safely say Tom is in a different league (he is most of the time anyway).

Catchy title tune by the way......
