Review of Humongous

Humongous (1982)
3/10
Great Start, Poor Poor Finish
25 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The first 25 minutes of this movie was great. It starts off with an intense beginning which lead to the movie's best kill (unfortunately). Then we get introduced to the cast which has some very corny dialogue (hilarious) with some nice nude scenes. Everything was great till the boat wrecked. Then it just became boooooring.

This is a slasher movie where the killer had not one good kill! We never get a good look at he killer's face! We know he is deformed but I guess it wasn't in the budget for good makeup effects. The score was weak and the jazz music at the start and end of the film was an extremely poor choice. Also, the many night scenes were too dark to see anything and was more annoying than scary. Finally, the pacing/editing in the last hour just dreadful. It seemed like it was a 3 hour movie for that last hour. They just dragged things out to get a 90 minute run time.

In summary, first 25 minutes were awesome, last hour slow and boring. 7 total kills and only the 1st kill by the mother was good, the rest were lame. Poor score and editing also. This is one slasher you can skip.
