Although it's still fairly campy Psycho Cop is a little darker and less zany than the sequel. 24 January 2019 | b_kite This slasher features some of the dumbest “teens” I have ever seen in any horror movie which made me kinda love it. I think they’re frozen? USA. Total bare bones ripoff of Maniac Cop with a weird Satanic angle.

Maniac Cop definitely did the film idea way with a crazy cop on the loose better in my opinionJust slightly better than most of the 80s slasher shlock.This is such a kickass B movie wonder, the whole look and feel is so 80s, beyond just the hair and bad fashion and chick who always is brushing her hair, it’s just the way the teens act. It's also nice to see Vingar Syndrome give this thing a great blu ray release, with better picture quality and of course the full uncut version of the film which for years was only available on a super rare VHS tape. Freshen up your watchlist with Prime Video’s latest roster of streaming movies and TV shows, featuring some great throwbacks and top-notch newcomers. The actual killer was more entertaining than the survivors in this film all they did was complain where is the caretaker??? Robert R Shafer gives another wacky performance as the satanic killer cop and there's no shortage of kooky teenagers and ridiculous antics. The OG A hell of a premise, presumably inspired by someone walking past a poster for the previous year's letterboxd.com/zombifan/list/a-stab-in-the-darkmondo-cinemas-slasher-film/This is not in anyway a rip off of an existing horror film...totally unique idea any one who says otherwise is fake news.Psycho Cop is a tediously boring cash in on the success of maniac cop.Some of the stupidest, whiniest slasher victims you'll ever come across, which makes this more fun than it should be. complex is somewhat unsettling and Bobby Shafer does a decent enough job to make this watchable. The cop singles them out for no real reason and they brought boxes of soup with them to make for dinner the first night. The kills are fairly bog-standard and the one-liners are a bit too cringey for my liking.That being said, Officer Joe Vickers' part satanist, part Robocop, part police cosplayer(?) Feels like it was conceived and directed by 13 year olds with someone reasonably competent operating the camera. Psychopath cop decides to kill everyone who he thinks has broken the law. Robert R. Shafer Jeff Qualle Palmer Lee Todd Dan Campbell Cindy Guyer Linda West Greg Joujon-Roche Julie Araskog. These “teens” are supposed to be going to a house in the woods, but it looks more like a very nice house on a very manicured private lot in a golf course neighborhood. These are like individual frozen dinner size boxes and…Psycho Cop isn't quite as lively or entertaining as the sequel but it works pretty well as a straight forward slasher. Smoking Gun Pictures. So yes, it's worth seeing. A rare example of a sequel being far better then the original.Direct to Video Documentary Highlights 90s Era Straight to VHS Horror MoviesDirect to Video Doc Highlights '90s Era in Straight to VHS Horror MoviesNow on Blu-ray: Look To Vinegar Syndrome For Sleazy, Scary Fun On These Six Discs

What really elavates Pyscho Cop Returns (aka Psycho Cop 2) is the talent of Adam Rifkin (going under his Rif Coogan alias here) Rifkin completely acts like the first movie never existed which is good considering how bad the original really is, he gives you stuff you want in a movie like this good gore, boobs, sex, and an overall better performance from our killer Bobby Ray Shafer, all things that were missing in the first film. Firstly, he is a devoted satanist; secondly - he likes to kill people. Psycho Cop 2 (also known as Psycho Cop Returns) is a 1993 American slasher film directed by Adam Rifkin, and written by Dan Povenmire.It is the sequel to the 1989 film Psycho Cop Psycho (1960) Full Cast & Crew. Directed by Adam Rifkin.
