I'd probably heard of Let's Scare Jessica to Death before Reggie Wanker submitted his review of the movie (below), but if I had, I'm sure its title led me to dismiss it as another eighties slasher flick, to be seen whenever I had the time. However, Wanker's review intrigued me, so after an unsuccessful search through the video stores in my area (and I'm in the Philly area, so there're a lot), I bought a copy on eBay.

One hell of a creepy flick. Kids, this movie actually scared me, and I've seen a lot of horror movies. The acting is pretty good and is definitely believable. This movie proves you don't need a lot of gore (although I love splatter) to get a good scare.
