There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Lovers Lane is a independent horror film that I never knew about until I found out about Anna Faris(Scary Movie,Smiley Face,Emoji Movie)and how she made her film debut in this tiny little slasher film so what did I do;after a while after noticing it,I bought it online and a few days later it came and I watched it. The film is a complete slasher film that has all of the typical 90's stuff(kids having sex in there car at make out point and then a man brutally murders them). This film was amazing and considering my first time,quite intense. Now,obviously the film cant avoid its cheesiness but over all it is a very good horror film was a good twist and story and oh as for Anna Faris being in her basically first film,she was very very good like always and I'm excited to see her in The Emoji Movie. Lovers Lane,guys,you have to see cause when i say its one of my fav's..its one of your favs

It really is too damn bad that this movie wasn't released fifteen years sooner; in the early 1980's. If that were the case, it could have been named "My Blood Valentine 2: Lover's Lane" and maybe – just maybe – the film would have enjoyed a modest little cult reputation by now. Instead, "Lover's Lame" came out in 1999, at the end of a decade that is widely considered as a low point in horror, and then still it attempts to rip off the wrong films! The DVD cover showcases the picture of a hook-hand as well as something that strangely resembles the Ghostface mask. So in other words, "Lover's Lane" attempts to cash in on the two most popular contemporary horror films of that era – "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Scream" – but actually hasn't got anything to do with either of them. This film is, as said, much more reminiscent to the crazed slasher outings of the eighties, what with its extremely clichéd situations and absurd plot twists. I was prepared to watch something really dull and irritating, but "Lover's Lane" actually is quite entertaining and definitely a worthwhile little homage/throwback to that glorious decade of slasher-goodness. The film begins with the discovery of two young people on Valentine's Day butchered in their car on Lover's Lane. The victims were both married and each had a child, so the event caused quite the scandal in the little town where everybody appears to be related to each other. A local nut case was caught at the scene of the crime and submitted to a mental asylum. Thirteen years later, when the victims' kids have turned into frustrated teenagers and their surviving parents are still grieving; the nut escapes from the asylum. And naturally it's Valentine's Day again and of course he recovers his beloved hook-hand just in time to make it to the kids' sex party on Lover's Lane. Yeah, the plot is quite clichéd and predictable, but that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't any suspense or creativity to detect. The death scenes inside the farm house, for example, are admirably bloodcurdling and the revelation near the end is quite ingenious too. And just like it was the case in the 1980's, this slasher contains a couple of delightful and senseless "WTF" moments, like when a mature woman – a school principal even – knocks out a drunken teenage girl or when the faceless shot shows naked breasts that clearly belong to a different girl than the one who's taking her top off. "Lover's Lane" honestly isn't as awful as its rating and most of the reviews around here make it out to be. If you think it might help, just pretend you stepped into a time machine and traveled back to the year 1981.

I watched this movie cos it was on a double disc that I bought. I was surprised to see Anna Faris in this movie, so I kept watching it. The plot of the movie was rubbish I have to say. The only motive visible is a guy starts murdering people 'cos he can't get laid. There seems to be three killers in this, all outlining the same psycho. At the end you don't know who the f**k is really the killer. The death seens could have been improved, I have to admit, even though some of them did have some memoriable moments. The sex scenes are bad, such as a girl removing her shirt, and we are only able to see from outside of a steamed up window. I have to give this movie 3/10. Not something I'd reccommend, but if your just looking to see some teenage kids being chopped up for no particular reason, watch it all you want.

When i first saw this i saw it with my friend on Austar and thought it was good for a low budget horror flick, with popular actress Anna Farris best known for her roles as Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie 1,2 and 3. I have recently bought this on DVD and thought it was excellent. I agree with others this show is better than expected. 9 out of 10
