There's a lot to like about this lil slasher, I wish I liked it more

Pros:
-Amazing practical effects by Savini, Cropsy looks great
-The actors actually do a great job especially compared to other slashers. Everyone hears about Jason Alexander and Holly Hunter, but Fisher Stevens is also a wonderful surprise
-The plot is a little by the numbers, but executed well

Cons:
-The middle 45 minutes with no Cropsy and just horny teenagers lags so much. idgaf about how much these kids prank eachother and want to fuck
- The editing is subpar, feels really clunky with the flashbacks at the end
-Pretty blatant Friday the 13th ripoff with not enough that sets it apart besides the effects

Dull. Ugly to look at. Poorly written. Can't imagine why this is a cult classic.

A great find from the 500 Horror list. I have seen some dudes trying to complete that list, but this film really worked for me.
