Why did she refuse?

I have nothing against Pam Springsteen but it would have been great to have Miss Rose instead. I heard that they want to release another one. The filming should be done. I think that Felicia will be in it.

Because the pacing is terribly slow and the film lacks any form of entertainment?

Out of the slasher flicks I've seen, I'd say "F13 part V: A New Beginning" is one of my favorites, as well as "Iced".

Prom Night
Funhouse
April Fool's Day

reply

After just watching April Fool's Day last night I was thinking of Happy Birthday to me.

I have the original Prom Night. I thought the remake was good but not at all like Prom Night to be called a remake.

There are so many underrated movies from the 80s.

I had gotten Watcher in the Woods a few years back. I did not like the ending but the rest of it I thought was pretty good.

Some others that may be cheesy but I thought were good.

Legend of Billie Jean
Some Kind of Wonderful
Monster Squad
The Dark Crystal
Once Bitten

So many others I liked but are already mentioned.

If you don't have much to begin with, then you don't have much to lose.

Cannonball run (Does it qualify as under rated? I laugh my but off every time i see it but it gets some of the worst reviews ever)
