Satan Strikes

 

 (imdb)

NIGHT VISITOR-1989-Billy Colton (Derek Rydall), a moronic high school student who's always late for class spies on his new single hot neighbor Lisa (Shannon Tweed). He has a dopey friend Sam (Scott Fults) and a kind of girlfriend Kelly (Teresa Van der Woude). When Billy decides to climb to a window of Lisa's house to get some pics, he sees her ritualistically killed by a masked Satanist who turns out to be his teacher Mr. Willard (Allen Garfield) who lives with his weird brother Stanley (Michael J. Pollard) and have a kidnapped hooker in their basement. Unfortunately, the police (lead by Richard Roundtree) don't believe Billy because he's known to be a liar. Billy goes to an ex-cop Devereaux (Elliot Gould) for help. Meanwhile Willard and Stanley sacrifice the hooker to Satan. The police consult an authority on Satanism (Henry Gibson!). Later, when Kelly is kidnapped, Billy and Devereaux invade Willard's house. 

The out-of-control finale saves this from time wasting boredom and the annoying Billy character! Brooke Bundy plays Billy's mom. Director Rupert Hitzig earlier had produced WOLFEN (1981) and JAWS 3-D (1983).

It Happened Again!

SLEEPAWAY CAMP 3:TEENAGE WASTELAND-1989-Angela (Pamela Springsteen) returns. This time she kills a girl going to a sleep away camp and impersonates her (she runs the girl over with a garbage truck in broad daylight and no one notices). There are two groups at the camp: one of "privileged" kids and one of snotty street punks. They're all jerks. And Michael J. Pollard is one of the camp owners! Angela's first murder is by giving a reporter tainted cocaine. The most gruesome but funny death is when she puts the female owner neck deep in a garbage pit then runs over her head with a lawn mower! Although most of the deaths are pretty macabre. The end sets a sequel that fortunately was never made. 

Kudos to director Michael Simpson for giving up on this misguided series which some see as a black comedy. I see it as junk...

Thanks for reading!

PS: I just read there is a part 4 so beware!
