I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs.
Revisited it recently.
Found this film and Ruggero Deodato's Body Count lame during those days. After revisiting both, I found Body Count bad but this one good cos of the gory kills.
The film starts off very well n continues with a good pace n solid killings but in the middle it becomes slow n boring.
The only plus point of this film is the gory effects.
A face gets slashed by a hatchet, a hand gets chopped by a machete, a head gets split open like a watermelon, a body gets cut into half, etc.
The unique thing about this 80s slasher is that the action takes place in a sprawling, secluded apartment complex called Shadow Woods with lots of trees, woods n neighbors around.
