New Year's Evil (1980) 

Engels A slasher film about a maniac who calls into a New Year's Eve show to announce the next murders he plans to commit. The concert by rock band Shadow is a very welcome addition, cut heavily into punk, with some songs sounding a bit like The Ramones. The downside is most of the murders, of which we don’t get to see much. The very first one is committed under plastic, the use of a bag is also not great, not to mention the off-camera stabbings. On the other hand, as the killer rushes to meet his hourly schedule, he starts massacring anyone who gets in his way. The last twenty minutes have a lot of juice, although I was a bit at a loss as to who to root for - the madman or the slut? 3.5*

Death Screams (1982) 

Engels The older youth (these aren’t teenagers), chatter, chatter, chatter, having fun at the fair like twelve-year-olds, which looks comical, while we wait in vain for the murders to happen. I mean, there is one in the beginning, but you wait half an hour for the next one. It's the only one at the fair and the victim is finished off with a plastic bag... In the evening, the youngsters go to the river to have a camping party, but there is no swimming of naked babes. The rather amusing story about the girl and her dog, told in the cemetery, is one of the few bright spots. There’s a bit of carnage in the ending and, accompanied by dynamic music, is the best part. There is some gore, but it’s nothing to write home about, as the effects are poor. I was most amused by the money to be made at the fair – one girl sells a kiss for 100 (about a cent), but when a guy she doesn’t want to kiss comes, she changes the sign, and suddenly it's a kiss for 500.

Dawn of the Mummy (1981) 

Engels An American photographer comes to Egypt with his models to shoot a fashion collection among the pyramids. When they stumble upon a newly discovered and opened tomb, their excitement knows no bounds – the photos among the mummies will come as a shock to New York! Those who opened it are not so excited, however, as they are after the golden treasure that should be hidden in the depths of the tomb. But the photographer and the models are only interested in taking pictures. I kind of felt like I was watching the Otis family ignoring the presence of a ghost in the tomb (The Canterville Ghost). Otherwise, the mummies are basically like zombies and reminded me not only of George Romero's classic, but especially Lucio Fulci's Zombie. They also feed on flesh, brains and guts. The only difference is that the initially crawling mummies get rocket propulsion towards the end and that eliminating them seems almost impossible. Too bad it's only the last half hour that's really nourishing, for which I give it a fourth star. The massacre at the wedding, with its awesome main course, is brilliant. Plus great music. Probably mostly for genre fans today. If it weren't for the tedious first half, I would rate it higher.
