Hook-handed killer is out to slice a bunch of parking teens.Unimaginative and completely lack-luster teen slasher is even less than one would expect it to be! One would expect it to be a clichéd film, but at least in an entertaining way. This film just mindlessly throws scenes at you and expects them to entertain. It only becomes tiresome. After BETTER teen thrillers like Scream (1996), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), Urban Ledgend (1998), and Cherry Falls (1999) one would think this movie would try a new angle but it only rehashes more of the same and with disappointingly less effect. It's not a complete BOMB, thanks to a few solid cast members, but it's certainly the lesser of the 90's slasher flicks.* 1/2 out of ****

my friend and i rented this movie about 2 years ago and when we were done watching it,we started it right over again. thats how good "lovers lane" is. i found it deeply thrilling and just plain creepy. it has a cliched plot, but it pulls off the "killer with a hook" thing better than "i know what you did last summer". if you havent seen it, do yourself a favor, NEXT TIME YOUR IN THE VIDEO STORE AND WANT TO BE DEEPLY SCARED, RENT "LOVERS LANE"

Based on that old urban legend, this low-budget loser features a hook-handed killer who stuck it to a man and woman on Valentine's Day getting it on at Lover's Lane. 13 years later, his escape from the state mental hospital coincides with the murders of a bunch of obnoxious high school kids played by a hand picked cast of no-talent nobodies who resemble your favorite teen dream stars of today!See the Mena Suvari knock-off who keeps her American BEAUTY-style cheerleading uniform on for the entire movie before taking a hook to the most private of personal areas. Or Tara Reid telling Freddie Prinze, Jr. to do her or "I'll kill your f@#!@t ass!" before both get their necks slashed. And there's the Nick Carter clone with a weird mom who sometimes wears a wig and punches out a drunken teen tramp Parker Posey knock-off at a bowling alley.The killer is kept hidden in the shadows for the most part and writes scary messages like "Prison food sucks" (??) in blood on a wall. Written directly on the video is a warning about "Nudity, Graphic Violence, Strong Sexual Content and Adult Language," which adds up to a bunch of offscreen deaths and two topless scenes that are too dark to see. At least Friday THE 13TH and other 80s slasher movies didn't skimp on our basic human need for gore, nudity and action.The ridiculous ending, however, is hilarious, if you can wait that long. This was made around the Seattle area.

It was almost an enjoyable though uninspiring slasher film, but the last few minutes make so little sense it's not funny. With the number of hook-wielding lunatics apparently running around in this small town, I'm surprised there was anyone left to be a victim.
