Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Michael_Elliott Psycho Cop (1989) * 1/2 (out of 4) A group of college students decide to head out into the middle of nowhere so that they can drink beer and have fun. what they don't realize is that soon they'll be going up against a psycho cop (Robert R. Shafer) who likes murdering people.PSYCHO COP is a mildly amusing horror film that has a few fun moments but for the most part this film falls apart rather quickly for a number of reasons. It's interesting that the title would be PSYCHO COP since William Lustig's MANIAC COP had just recently made a name for itself but the two share very little in common outside of the titles and the type of killer.As far as this film goes, it follows the SLASHER 101 handbook rather closely as we've got the annoying teens going out in the middle of nowhere and of course they are given countless warnings about what's going on and yet they overlook them all. Before you know it the majority of them are dead. The death scenes are mildly entertaining as a couple of them have some bloodshed but there's no question that the low-budget shows.The cast offers up mainly bad to forgettable performances but that's to be expected in a film like this. Shafer (working under the name Bobby Ray Shafer) is good in the role of the killer but there's no question that the screenplay gives him some really bad lines. The one-liners are all rather annoying and it's also true that the characters are beyond annoying so neither of these help the film.

Zombified_660 While I hesitate to give Psycho Cop a 10 out of 10 because if I'm being honest, it's by no means perfect (or a 'classic' movie but what the hell does that mean these days anyway. Apparently The Matrix is a classic, and that movie sucks), I haven't had this much fun watching a B-horror flick in a long long time. The joy of this movie is that instead of being a laughably bad horror that's hysterical because it's so cheesy, it's a laughably bad horror poking fun at itself for being laughably bad and having a damn good time being laughably bad. As will you, watching Psycho Cop Joe Vickers chuckle his way through a veritable army of victims with axe, billy club and even in one instance, a car.It isn't big, it isn't clever (you want clever, check out Maniac Cop instead, it's just as cool but much more serious) but it's damn funny. The people who took this seriously really missed the point, as this is a blatant genre spoof. It leaves no stone unturned in it's quest to lovingly lampoon 80s slashers. Bad Continuity? Check. Killer who materialises in front of the heroine after chasing her from BEHIND? Check. Hilarious 'let off some shteam' style one-liners? Check. I laughed all 90 minutes, and for once not because of spurts of comedy gore, just because of the pure comedy value.If you're a pretentious jerk go watch Saw a fortieth time, but if you like a good slasher and don't mind a hefty dose of broad stupid humour (Classic segment: Caretaker:'No! It can't be!' Psycho Cop:'Oh, but it is!' SPLAT!) with your horror check this hidden gem out, it rocks my world.

Brad Mills I guess there was a trend in the late 80s of making horrible movies. The film industry was booming, and in order for movies like Jaws to do good, movies like Psycho Cop had to be made.This movie is devoid of any thread of invested time. It seems like the writer/director (Wallace Potts) thought of the idea, wrote it, and filmed it all in the same weekend.For this reason, it is hilarious! This 'horror' film is the funniest of it's genre. All because they were seriously trying to make a good movie. They thought they were doing a good job, and that's why it's funny. All through our history, humor has come from failure...and this movie is the epitome of that philosophy.In the basic common sense, logic and continuity departments, this movie scores a 0 out of 10. Scenes magically switch from day to night, cans of soup go missing and cause more alarm than friends going missing, and - although there's no nudity - characters bathe together for unknown reasons.The killer is a cop who goes psycho - this shown in the opening sequence by him washing his hands in blood, presumably that of the innocent - and one by one he slaughters all of the stereotypical teens who 'just want to party'.Except for two. 2 of the idiotic, horribly acted characters manage to catch on in time and live - and you can tell which ones by their matching tight jeans and plaid button up shirts. The stereotypical 'jock' and the stock 'paranoid girl' find a way to outsmart psycho cop and kill him...WITH A TREE THROUGH THE CHEST.First of all, the big strong jock gets slapped and faints 3 times while psycho cop beats the crap out of his girlfriend, then out of nowhere he gets an inhuman burst of strength, upon which point he picks up a conveniently cut and place LOG and impales psycho cop with it. I'm sorry, but not even adrenaline has the ability to make a blunt log go THROUGH a person.Psycho Cop has the bleuest of cheesy lines. Folks, his kill lines are Moose Cheese. For some reason, he quips "How's the weather?", to a police officer before he kills him. To the young muscly Groundskeeper who just wants his trusty axe back - which we can tell by the CLOSEUP OF A SPRAY PAINTED OUTLINE OF AN AXE IN HIS TOOL SHED - psycho cop raises the axe to his head, at which point the groudskeeper says, "It can't be" (as if he knew about him). To this, crazy old Officer Joe Vickers replies "but it is" and heaves down on the groundskeeper's face...the brave groundskeeper doesn't even let out a scream.HOWEVER, back at the cabin, the teens are listening to music, and the one with HEADPHONES ON takes them off and says, "I think I just heard someone scream." I guess she was watching another version of the movie, in which they noticed OBVIOUS CONTINUITY ERRORS and fixed them.I could write a novel on the Psycho Cop experience, but I'd rather if you watched it with your loved ones and made fun of it yourself. It really is worth the money if you can find it online. I'm currently writing a movie inspired by this horrible film, and I'm filming it in the summer of 2005. Hopefull you might one day see my movie and think, "Wow, this is as bad as Psycho Cop."

FieCrier We're promised a Psycho Cop, and while the guy is a cop, and commits a number of murders, he's rather goofy. While most of his lines consist of single sentences, they're almost without exception not one-liners. That is, they're not jokes, or double entendres, they're simply single lines.The main characters are annoying, and hardly given characterizations. They're almost always looking for misplaced items, or for the caretaker. (Evidently Psycho Cop likes stealing items only to place them somewhere else later.)Who is Psycho Cop? Evidently a former foster child who became a devil-worshiping, brutal police officer. He turned psycho after taking a day off. He's apparently really someone else named Gary Henley (sp?) or perhaps really a criminal, Ted something, I think. But even this sketchy characterization is scarcely given any attention in the movie.Anyone looking for a Psycho Cop would be better off watching the cop in Psycho, or the T2- as-cop in Terminator 2, or watching Maniac Cop and its sequels. Psycho Cop 2 surprisingly is a lot better, though.
