Tous les garçons aiment Mandy Lane

Not a dud, neither a gem, just a slightly above-par teenage slasher. What’s good is that the kids are quite bearable and I didn’t explicitly wish death to any of them. The film is not precisely brimming with inventiveness, the murders are unoriginal, even if some of them look that they will be, but then puff! and that’s it. The ending is quite good (though very predictable), if anything, because it has a decent amount of brutality. I’d also praise the music, which adds a bit of a summer atmosphere and made me stay for some of the end credits. I could give it four stars, but only if I hadn’t seen the twist coming even before I put the film on (and I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case for more horror fans). So, in the end 55%. It’s in the same league as Prom Night, but a couple of rungs higher in the ranking. (12/06/2008)

There was hardly any story, and it was as shallow as lake Balaton. The screenwriter should kick his own ass for those dialogues (and not just for them). The director didn't exactly bring his A-game either. Instead of a horror atmosphere, it was mind-numbingly boring. (25/10/2020)

Influenced by Honza Vojtíšek's opinion, I watched this movie in which Mandy Lane is played by Amber Heard, an actress whom I don't particularly like and whom I have never found appealing. Honestly, I don't see anything interesting about her in 2006 or today. And just like she is uninteresting, this movie is also uninteresting. (16/04/2016)
