Lovers Lane is a independent horror film that I never knew about until I found out about Anna Faris(Scary Movie,Smiley Face,Emoji Movie)and how she made her film debut in this tiny little slasher film so what did I do;after a while after noticing it,I bought it online and a few days later it came and I watched it. The film is a complete slasher film that has all of the typical 90's stuff(kids having sex in there car at make out point and then a man brutally murders them). This film was amazing and considering my first time,quite intense. Now,obviously the film cant avoid its cheesiness but over all it is a very good horror film was a good twist and story and oh as for Anna Faris being in her basically first film,she was very very good like always and I'm excited to see her in The Emoji Movie. Lovers Lane,guys,you have to see cause when i say its one of my fav's..its one of your favs

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 ****

In Lovers Lane, a seemingly-couple, Harriet Anderson (Erin J. Dean) and Ward Lamson (Brian Allemand) has been found dead. Despite they find the killer, Ray Hennessey (Ed Bailey) which they call as THE HOOK, but the sorrow has been coated their husband and wife and their child as well. A few years ago, Harriet's daughter, Mandy (also played by Erin J. Dean) is in her high school age, but the memory remains a misery both for her and her father, the town sheriff, Tom Anderson (Matt Riedy). As a geeky girl, she's a cousin of bitchy popular girl, Chloe Grefe (Sarah Lancaster), daughter of her step uncle, Jack Grefe (Richard Sanders), the town psychiatrist. Chloe is dating the school prince charming, Michael Lamson (Riley Smith), son of the school's principle, Penny Lamson (Suzanne Bouchard). Their friend consist consist of Michael's best friend Brad (Ben Indra), sex-frenzy couple Tim (Collin F. Peacock) and Kathy (Megan Hunt), the new cheerleader in town Janelle (Anna Faris) and Doug (Billy O'Sullivan), an overweight boy in a spoiling way. Now, the valentine's day is coming. The relationship of Chloe and Michael seem can't get any longer and things are getting worse as she plan a valentine's party of her own by giving Michael some lesson by flirting Brad aggressively. And if it not enough, she's ready to make a whole lot of fun by make a surprise through all her friend and that's including Mandy.Meanwhile, Ray Hennessey a.k.a. The Hook is escape from the asylum. Dr. Grefe, whose responsible for him is fell so upset about it. He concerning about the safety the town's teen, especially his daughter and his brother's daughter. But everything goes madly berserk, as the killer strike over the town and start the bloody mayhem. Now, the question is, are this has something to do with what happened 12 years ago? Well, it seem its Mandy's burden now to solve the mystery or dead becomes her. Being so cheesy and taking inspired by many other slasher movies, Lovers Lane still managed as fine entertainer, at least to fill your bore times with a lot of laugh. If truth to be told, Lovers Lane is the most underrated after many direct-to-video-posh-Scream slasher movie, but it still shine because of the cliché it has. A slightly direct-to-video slasher. This underrated flick is somewhat has many similarity with Cherry Falls, which is objecting teen with their obsession of love and (off course) sex. As a movie, despite Cherry Falls are better, they are in the same league, where's there is no explicit gores (most of the kills are off-screen), no intense fright, non atmospherically, the pace is slow, alas fails miserably as a great slasher package, but at least still fun to watch.One thing to bother is the taking more popular slasher as it blatant copy is so annoying, when it seem lack of originality. The director is so inspiring, when the script actually is witty enough. He should learn more how to make a slasher as he must learn about the genre more than he should know. This is insulting. Most of the actors are portraying they character respectfully, especially for B-Movie standard. Lovers Lane also featuring the pre-Scary Movie, Anna Faris with his blonde hair. Her appearance unquestionably fun.Well, as little twist, Lovers Lane is still worth watching, but just don't expect it as a winner, because little is a literally concept for this movie. As my final bashed, Lovers Lane may fail as a slasher, but succeed as laughable movie.2/10

I cannot believe I wasted 1 and 1/2 hours of my life watching a movie as pointless and pathetic as this one. The acting was bad, the plot was bad and the script, well I'll just say that I could have wrote a better movie myself. Don't waste your time watching this garbage. You may as well look at a wall for 2 hours cause that would be more interesting that this crap.
