Psycho Cop (1989)
4/10
Some reason I like it
24 October 2011
The plot = A cop whose into devil worshipping, decides to go out on a killing spree, he comes across a group of teens on they're way to cabin in the woods for the weekend, so he decides to follow them and kill them off one by one.

Okay I knew off hand that this would be a cheesy routine slasher flick and a pretty bad one, I watched the trailers so I went into this movie not expecting much anyway, but for some reason I was still drawn to it and for some sort of strange reason I actually kind of liked it. Maybe the reason I was drawn to it was because of the title "Psychocop". This movie was obviously a cash in movie, because of the much better Maniac Cop and this is in no way even compares it has The acting is absolutely dire, the script is excruciatingly inept, shamelessly rehashing every horror movie cliché in the book – in particular the often improvised dialogue is atrocious. The special effects are terrible. But this must have been successful in some way to spawn a sequel which I haven't seen yet. The one thing that kind of saves this movie is Psycho Cop himself (Bobby Ray Shafer), okay it was a badly acted performance, but you can he had fun with it with his awful one liners, but at least he had a smile on his face and that aspect I actually liked and he moves around like he's got a stick up his butt and the teen cast are awful even the main heroine whose incredibly dull, to be frank he should have killed them all off a lot sooner.

All in all not a movie I strongly recommend but if you're into bad slashers then I suggest this and most probably the sequel.
