Kill Her Goats

The opening scene certainly sets you up for making you think you're in for one hell of a gory movie. The murder of a pair of campers by Goat Face & his dual, giant hedge trimmers, which provides plenty of gore & bare skin. It certainly feels like you're back in the 80s. After the opening kill scene Kill Her Goats turns into something that looks more like an 80s T&A film or a soft core porno than a horror film. There are loads of shots of women jumping on beds, bouncing down stairs, whipping off bikini tops & taking showers. Which wouldn't be bad except that this is supposed to be a horror movie & those scenes are shot in such a bland, by-the-numbers fashion that they can't overcome the truly terrible dialogue & acting. There's never any suspense or feeling of dread because we're dealing with terrible acting & unlikable characters that we don't care about. As for the plot, it's almost impossible to figure out what is actually going on. It's not the worst movie but it has many flaws.

Overall, the potential was there for Kill Her Goats. It could have been a wicked throwback to the golden age of slashers. Unfortunately, the filmmakers consistently made bad decisions & squandered that potential along with an hour & a half of the viewer's life.
