All The Boys Love Mandy Lane


All The Boys Love Mandy Lane is a different type of movie and true horror fans will really enjoy it. Filmed in a dirty, gritty fashion, the movie is reminiscent of a 1970's horror flick. The story follows a teenage girl named Mandy whom all the boys seem to love. She is gorgeous, sweet, and a girl-next-door type. Revolving mainly around teens, the movie seems like it will turn into a normal teen slasher that is neither effective nor scary. However, something about the way this movie is filmed causes it to be deeply disturbing. After a group of popular teens invite Mandy on a trip to one teen's father's ranch, the movie gets very interesting. One by one the teens begin to die off in gory and gruesome manners that could make even the biggest horror movie fan flinch in disgust. The real fear created by this movie, however, is not created through flashy visuals or extreme brutality, but through the interaction among the teens. It seems like every thing that happens in the movie could have been prevented if a different action had been taken by one of the teens earlier. The movie is disturbing because it shows viewers that every action can lead to a terrifying consequence. It has an ending that will shock any viewer and that will really make a person think about life and death. All The Boys Love Mandy Lane is well worth the 90 minutes it takes to watch.
