Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

acidburn-10 The plot = A cop whose into devil worshipping, decides to go out on a killing spree, he comes across a group of teens on they're way to cabin in the woods for the weekend, so he decides to follow them and kill them off one by one.Okay I knew off hand that this would be a cheesy routine slasher flick and a pretty bad one, I watched the trailers so I went into this movie not expecting much anyway, but for some reason I was still drawn to it and for some sort of strange reason I actually kind of liked it. Maybe the reason I was drawn to it was because of the title "Psychocop". This movie was obviously a cash in movie, because of the much better Maniac Cop and this is in no way even compares it has The acting is absolutely dire, the script is excruciatingly inept, shamelessly rehashing every horror movie cliché in the book – in particular the often improvised dialogue is atrocious. The special effects are terrible. But this must have been successful in some way to spawn a sequel which I haven't seen yet. The one thing that kind of saves this movie is Psycho Cop himself (Bobby Ray Shafer), okay it was a badly acted performance, but you can he had fun with it with his awful one liners, but at least he had a smile on his face and that aspect I actually liked and he moves around like he's got a stick up his butt and the teen cast are awful even the main heroine whose incredibly dull, to be frank he should have killed them all off a lot sooner.All in all not a movie I strongly recommend but if you're into bad slashers then I suggest this and most probably the sequel.

Sandcooler I barely ever get to say this when it comes to horror movies, but the sequel is a lot better. Don't get me wrong, "Psycho Cop" has its moments, but obviously it sinks like a brick after the caretaker meets his demise. He was the glue that held everything together, without him the movie's plot almost seemed incoherent and moronic. And talk about screen presence, no definition is high enough to do the character justice. Oh caretaker, you were truly a God amongst men, nobody could hold an axe for vague reasons like you could. Sadly when you take this ingenious character out of the equation, you're stuck with the kind of average slasher movie people were already sick of back in 1989. Cars never start, phones never work, people keep wandering of into the woods for stupid reasons, dead killers are never as dead as they look, every teen is 35 years old, it's that kind of movie and very little more. Officer Joe Vickers is a pretty amusing psychopath, but I think he's much better in "Psycho Cop Returns". He just doesn't have material in this movie. "Psycho Cop" is not quite funny and not quite scary either, sort of a failed slasher pastiche.

Woodyanders I have seen many an abominable slasher teenkill body count film in my lifetime, so it's saying a lot that this hideously lame'n'tame loser qualifies as perhaps the worst slice'n'dice stinker I have ever had the grace misfortune to suffer through. A demented Devil-worshiping Los Angeles police officer (horribly overplayed to the annoyingly hammy hilt by the dorky, singularly unmenacing Bobby Ray Shafer) stalks and bumps off six wholly unlikeable, peevish, beer-swilling jerk teens partying their empty heads off in some typically creepy abandoned house located deep in the remote woods (boy, that's a fresh and novel premise for a horror film ... NOT!). Writer/director Wallace Potts does a simply super job of messing this putrid porker up big time: we've got nil suspense, painfully lurching pacing, grating false scares (which include the ever-popular and irritating cat jumping out of a cupboard and startling the hell out of someone phony jolt), obnoxiously atrocious acting, bloodless and moronic murders (a nightstick down the throat gag is especially execrable), no gratuitous sex or nudity to speak of, the flipped-out flatfoot cracks these horribly witless sub-Freddy Kruger one-liners every time he kills someone, and, naturally, there's an awesomely awful, groan-inducing and dissatisfying "he ain't dead yet" sequel set-up ending (sadly enough, said "nobody asked for it" sequel was actually made, which only goes to show you can't keep either a bad loony fuzzball or even worse fright film series down). Mark ("Blue Monkey," "Deep Space") Williams did the mild, middling gore f/x. If you ever happen to catch "Psycho Cop" in your rear-view mirror or God forbid come across a copy of it for rent at your local mom'n'pop video rental outlet, by all means make as much distance as you can from both this chortling, insufferable maniacal a**hole and his deplorable, no-account slasher flick series.

Corky1984 This is appalling drivel that should never have been made. Every copy should be rounded up and destroyed to save people from the sheer tedium that this film will inflict on them. There is not a single second of the film that is genuinely entertaining. The physco cop himself is just plain dull and when he does catch people he kills them in a particularly quick and boring manner. The rest of the cast are all terrible 'actors' with less talent than a squashed sea urchin! The film must have some kind of record for pointless conversation as well so amazingly repetitious are its chat monologues. This film is dire. The basic story is of 6 pesky teens or twenties (who knows or cares?) who shack up in some isolated little house and are murdered by physco cop. Sadly its all so drawn out that you will be screaming at the TV pleading for it to end! Avoid this offal!!!!!!!!!!
