Terror at Tenkiller (1986)

A slasher horror film though one of the slowest moving ones ever. Young ladies Leslie (Stacy Logan) and Janna (Michele Merchant) head off to a remote cabin in the woods for a vacation to escape the psycho ex Josh (Kevin Meyer). Their holiday resort includes all the usual facilities: a lake, great food, peace and quiet and a maniac killing people in the night...

Although in between the fairly infrequent murders there is a lot of aimless talking and mundane activities. There isn't a huge amount of suspense as the identity of the murderer is clear. There is a creepy old man with a beard called Preacher (Dale Buckmaster) but he gets killed pretty quickly by murderous hunk Tor (Michael Shamus Wiles)...

The padding is ridiculous. The film has about twenty minutes of story. The acting, when there is some, doesn't exactly set the world on fire. The music sounds like a bored animal meandering across a set of keyboards. So it is a terrible film but if approached in the right way (ruthlessly take the piss out of it) then there is some enjoyment to be gleaned from this drivel. But not a lot.
