8. Lovers Lane (1999)

Also known as I'm Still Waiting For You, 1999's Lovers Lane is a gory love letter to the heyday of the slasher film.

Lovers Lane's primary antagonist is based on the prevalent urban legend of "the Hook" - a faceless killer with a Captain Hook-esque implement for a hand. Jon Steven Ward's direct-to-video offering follows the usual group of imbecilic teenagers who are terrorised by an escaped mental patient haunting the titular location in search of fresh blood.

Featuring a young Anna Faris in her feature film debut, Lovers Lane exhibits just about every trope that one could possibly associate with a slasher. Nevertheless, this blood-soaked cheese-fest remains an enjoyable watch throughout - provided that you let go of basically every expectation that a fright fan would typically associate with watching a horror movie.

Just let the clichéd madness wash over you.

Despite the recent release of a special edition Blu-ray version of the film, Lovers Lane doesn't currently appear on any streaming services as of 2023. It's enough to make one don a hook hand and start terrorising teenagers in parked cars.
