Wacko

1982 · 85 min

A silly, scattershot slasher spoof that throws gags at the wall with cheerful abandon, more goofy than scary.

Tagline: At last! A motion picture made by, for, and about people.... just like you!
Overview: Thirteen years after the "Lawnmower Killer" killed her sister, high school student Mary Graves and obsessed detective Dick Harbinger are on the lookout for the killer to reappear during the annual Halloween Pumpkin Prom.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, satirical and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Madness, obsession, family, death
Content: Strong violence and sexual content. Mild gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
