Plot summary

Young Annie and biker boyfriend Buddy are hopelessly in love and planning to run away from her cruel and overbearing father, who keeps an eye on her every move. Their plans are cut tragically short, however, when the family's unhinged caretaker shoots Buddy dead as he arrives on the property under the cover of night. Years later, Annie, now an old reclusive, continues to pine after her lost love, even practicing magic rituals in an attempt to bring him back. One day, after suffering ridicule and harassment from some local teens, she decides to end her own life. Coming to the farm in the wake of her aunt's passing, Annie's niece, Hillie, soon learns from reading her diary that Annie actually believed she'd resurrected Buddy. Sure enough, when some of the youths responsible for driving her aunt to suicide show up looking to cause trouble, a mysterious figure in biker gear appears and begins picking them off one by one. Has Buddy risen from the dead to avenge his dearly departed?

Bad!

Poor acting, poor lighting, poor sound, poor script. A ridiculous amount of boring flashbacks - this is bad! I was hoping for an interesting revenge fantasy (biker zombie from hell wreaks gory mayhem). No chance. Who knows what's going on? Who cares? There used to be a time when the low budget film makers seemed to be providing gore and shocks that really worked - films that became instant cult classics for most of the right reasons (alright, we don't necessarily expect the best of acting all the time, but a decent shocker could always help you to forgive that.) These days the big budget horrors hold the cards because they are actually of a decent standard. The late 80s onwards saw a steady decline in the standards of so many independent horror flicks. This would be a classic example - except the use of the word 'classic' regarding any aspect of this film sticks in the throat.

Dull love...

I happened to stumble upon the 1987 horror movie "Deadly Love" by random chance here in 2024. And given my love of the horror genre, and with this being a movie that I had neither seen nor actually heard about, of course I opted to sit down and watch it. After all, the 1980s were bountiful with gloriously campy and cheesy horror movies.

The storyline in the movie was not particularly exciting, and I have to admit that I was starting to zone out about one-fourth of the way through the movie. The air was just sort of slowly escaping from the balloon as the movie progressed at a dangerously dull pace. Yet, I managed to endure all 90 minutes of the movie, hoping that it would become better. However, writer and director Michael S. O'Rourke just never did accomplish that.

Needless to say that I was by no means familiar with the actors or actresses on the cast list. And the cast list was rather limited. The acting performances were a bit wobbly from some of the performers.

Visually then you're not in for anything grand. There are far better special effects in many other horror movies from the late 1980s, so not even that was playing out for this movie from Michael S. O'Rourke.

The music in the movie, with the wonderful keyboards, was awfully cheery and indeed rather campy.

My rating of "Deadly Love" lands on a two out of ten stars.
