THE PLOT THUS FAR
A startling motive is revealed when psychotic killer Melvin ‘Spider’ Holiday stalks 8 unsuspecting teenage victims lured to an abandoned amusement park off old Route 66.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“Killer Holiday” is a slasher flick set at a carnival. That’s about it. A kid gets out of Juvie and her pals are off to play in an abandoned amusement park/carnival/mass hobo grave. The kids start getting killed, as we meet Spider. Spider is a generic killer with nothing to really set him apart from any deranged drifter. Well, there is that demonic John Wayne Gacy thing he’s got going on.
The cliches stack up fast and with fervor. But, that’s to be expected with schlock like this. It’s Halloween and I wonder why does this stuff keep getting made? The easy answer is that there are still a ton of schlubs out there that will pull anything out of the redbox. The complicated answer is beyond me.
The DVD comes with a Digital Copy, featurettes, gag reel and trailers. The A/V Quality is pretty dark and full of digital noise. Still, the Dolby 5.1 track kicks in when it is needed. Not like that can save this trainwreck of a movie. In the end, I’d recommend skipping it.
