Irritating characters who cannot die quick enough; a predictable 'maniac on the loose' plot; lame humour; a terrible montage scene in which the film's soon-to-be-dead med students bop away badly to a dreadful pop tune while tidying a house: Evil Laugh is quintessential 80s tongue-in-cheek slasher nonsense, the sort of cheezy trash that most people would instantly dismiss as unwatchable, but which will prove irresistible to the small percentage for whom quality is not necessarily a factor when choosing a film.
The cast for Evil Laugh gives a pretty good idea of what to expect: there's Scott's Baio's brother Steven, Merv Griffin's son Tony, a pre-porn Ashlyn Gere, future Hollywood madam Jody Gibson, and hottie Karyn O'Bryan, whose filmography totals two (her other credit being for the Johnny Depp teen-sex comedy Private Resort). With 'talent' like that involved, dreadful acting and copious nudity are 100% guaranteed; factor in plenty of hokey gore and some dreadful 80s fashion and Evil Laugh is a passable way to while away the time for those of us with questionable taste.
