LOVERS LANE

Valentine's Day: a couple of lovers, secluded in the car, are slaughtered by a mad killer armed with a hook. A retarded boy found near the crime scene is blamed for the murder. Twenty years later, however, always on Valentine's Day, another killer returns to strike… Yet another American slasher movie in a youthful style: the setting (among college students), the situations, the subject, and the plot are always the same and follow the line of various 'Scream' and 'So what did you do' with some nods to genre classics such as 'Friday the 13th', 'Halloween', and 'Candyman'. This time, however, the screenplay is more confusing and implausible than usual, and even the crowd of young 'extras' who play in the film is below the average quality level. The film is an unreleased, distributed only for the home video market (and for once there is no need to regret it), moreover in a poor censored version (on the back cover appears the 'ill-fated' mention 'Film for All') in many sequences compared to the American one (which, as you will notice from the original cover, was an 18 VM). If you have a bad horror with some good 'semi-splatter' sequences, remove the latter, what remains? A bad horror… this 'Boulevard of Crimes' just!
