Anyone else check this out yet? The new Code Red DVD looks pretty good, has some decent extras too.
Watched it last night, expected more of a traditional slasher - it's not that at all. Definitely went in directions I didn't expect it to and while it took a while to get going (the first half hour is slow) once it picks up steam it's a pretty cool watch. Some good kill scenes, some interesting twists, a fun cast, and cool effects and lighting that definitely show its eighties era roots (I mean that in a good way).
Dennis Libscomb is pretty solid in the lead. You feel sorry for him right from the opening shot - he's got such a sad lost puppy dog look to him. I don't buy that the foxy hooker with a heart of gold would fall for him but whatever. I can suspend my disbelief here. It's pretty cool to see Lipscomb completely lose his shit in a few scenes and just go right over the top too.
Good times. Worth watching.
