Lunatic

About This Movie

So, 'Lunatic' is this curious little piece of early '90s horror that dives into the slasher genre with a twist of insanity. A crazed escapee from an asylum stalks a group of oblivious high school kids in the woods. The pacing has its ups and downs; it sometimes drags a bit, but the atmosphere is thick with unease. The practical effects are pretty decent for its time, adding a raw edge to the violence that feels authentic. The performances are nothing groundbreaking, but they do capture that youthful naïveté that makes the impending doom more palpable. It’s definitely got a certain charm, if you’re into that gritty, low-budget feel of the era.
