This is a good movie and you can see where a lot of inspiration came from. A few weird things...the killer uses a gun, weird for a "slasher" and also, there are some good deaths, its rated R, but there are some crazzzzzzzy sound effect punchlines over hammy faces it's nuts. Like slide whistles and shit!!! It mostly came from the front desk cop, which I think they tried to match the funny in Black Christmas (1974) with that front desk cop, but that movie is a masterpiece. Don't even try.
