Neon Maniacs aka Evil Dead Warriors

Not much Neon, but plenty of Maniacs.

Plot: While enjoying a touch of illegal drinking and a dab of teen angst/sex, a group of kids are set upon by the most bizarre bunch of crazies this side of Nightbreed. A fella in a samurai costume with bad facial scarring, a bloke called Slasher, one called Decapitator, an angry Native American (angrier than usual I mean) and someone with a delight in archery descend on the kids and one by one, slaughter them, only to then pop back home (home being a storage area under the Golden Gate Bridge). It's up to the sole surviving teen to alert the cops and end the madness.

This film is superb. It's a laugh from beginning to end and one of the best of the monster/slasher genre available.

One of the lines of the film: 'Did you hear that sound?'
                                         'Yeah, it was creepy. Probably your mom howling out her anti-sex warning'.

There is no sense to this film, it's best to just go with it and revel in the absurdity that is Neon Maniacs.
You won't be disappointed!

Budget: $1,500,000

Gross: $?

Fun Fact: Despite being set in San Francisco, if you look closely, you'll see the Twin Towers.
