Daniel Maze, you should be complemented. You have given us B Movie Beasts' something to buy, and put into our collection. Never mind that Mahoney from Police Academy is your biggest name billed, or the fact that this movie was never given a chance be seen with a decent distribution ( other than straight to DVD) You sir, have impressed me and several others, and for that I say Thank-fucking-god. Cornered! was a trip back to VHS Friday Night Horror Fest.
As you can obviously tell, I fucking loved this movie. It's not the best and certainly not the worst, but it has that solid feel that at least somebody tried. Unlike other so called horror movies, this one had all the right mix of tempo and delivery. It took a bit for us to really see anything violent, but it the story built up the tension and never backed off. I guess this is why I find movies like this one so entertaining.
The story was really simple and didn't focus on too much on just one character, it focused on everybody involved, and how their own fucked up life couldn't matter more than a guy with Bondage mask killing the dick out of everybody. that alone, besides the choice of mask ( genius ) made for a good believable villain. Here's the 4-0......
Somebody is killing convenience store customers and owners inside of the stores. We happen upon a ratty, trashy store in SO CAL that would rival any ghetto store. Junkies, phone sex operators, hookers, and a fat ass doughnut eating wimp run the place ( or better yet live there ), while their scumbag boss watches their every movement, records it, and hides the tapes. One night during their weekly poker match they get locked in the store with a gimp maked killer picks them off one by one.
Look, this isn't that goddamn unoriginal blue ape movie called Avatar, it's a good rental for a buck, and is EXACTLY the type of movie I could fuck somebody after, or during and not feel like Al Franken. if you're going to take a chane on a movie. i would highly recommend this one.
