Evil Laugh Movie Review

Evil Laugh is a 1986 horror movie directed by Dominick Brascia Jr. and starring Kim McKamy, Tony Griffin, Jody Gibson and Howard Weiss.

The movie begins with a man called Mr. Burns(Weiss) who is in an old house. There are new tenants moving into the house. A doctor called Jerry is first to arrive. He looks around the house but there is someone else there. A killer. Jerry gets stabbed and his heart is cut out by a laughing killer. Later, three interns arrive at the house to meet Jerry. They are Barney, Johnny and Mark. Two women are coming also. They are Tina(Gibson) and Connie(McKamy). Their car breaks down. Another two people are on the way to the house. They are Sammy(Griffin) and Betty. Sammy is a friend of Jerry's. Everyone wonders where Jerry is as he was meant to meet them. Mr. Burns greets them. He doesn't know where Jerry is either. Everyone is going to clean up the house.

Jerry's car isn't there. They find a tape with weird stuff on it. They wonder what has happened to Jerry.

They find Jerry's heart but think that it is a calf heart and they decide to cook it and eat it. A cop called Chief Cash arrives to ask them about a delivery boy who has disappeared. The unseen killer has disposed of him. He and his deputy get killed as the killer is lurking around. Connie tells the group that the house used to be a foster home. There was child abuse in the house and a man called Martin was accused of being a paedophile. Martin didn't do it but his dad hung himself. Martin decided to kill himself and the kids. His body was never found. There are stories about the ghost of Martin haunting the place.

Barney doesn't like the place and he wants to leave. He starts freaking out. The killer disposes of Sammy. Mr. Burns shows up to fix the boiler. Barney asks him for a lift into town. Mr. Burns meets the killer and that's the end of him. Barney looks for Burns and he sees the killer running away. He gets locked into the basement. Mark and Tina are the next to die. Johnny gets hit over the head and tied up. The killer put his head into the microwave and kills him. Connie finds her dead friends. She has a gun. The killer finds her and she shoots him. It turns out that it is not a him, but a her. Mr. Burn's wife is the killer. Martin was her son and she isn't happy about people being in the house. Barney grabs the gun and he shoots her. She manages one more laugh before she dies. The movie ends with Connie being at her home and hearing noises. She thinks it's a killer but it is just Barney messing around.  She stabs Barney and laughs.

This isn't the best film. It is middle of the road. There were some fun moments, but overall, I think that this is nothing amazing or original. The cast aren't particularly good and the ending makes little sense. It is worth a look if you enjoy 1980's slashers, as I do. I will give it a 5/10.
