Now that it’s summer and I’m not boxed in by prime time schedules, I am taking the time to go through my extensive horror collection from A to Z to rewatch movies I hardly remember owning, let alone remember ever seeing. Tonight I watched a 2000 slasher called CUT. This is a must see if you are one of those 80s whores like me. Somehow, this practically budgetless film scored Molly Ringwald, Kylie Minogue, AND the rights to the song “I Got You” by Split Enz.
It took almost twenty years, but Molly Ringwald, the queen of 80s teen films, FINALLY stars in a slasher movie! And she totally camps it up perfectly. But the highlight had to be when Molly is taking a shower and singing along to the radio as it plays the new wave classic “I Got You.” You KNOW that Moll, the queen of 80s teen films AND teen film new wave soundtracks, was the one who chose that song and insisted the director put it in the movie. Now if only Kylie had broken into “The Locomotion,” this would have been the quintessential 80s throwback slasher!!!
