The Tripper Movie Adaptation

Joe Harris’ and Nat Jones’ adaptation of this film has two flaws: for a horror story it’s not very horrifying, and for a killer who looks like Ronald Reagan, he really doesn’t look like Ronald Reagan. Add in the fact that his face is inexplicably hidden until the end (is that for tension? Because the whole hook of the premise is the murderer’s resemblance to the President). To its credit, it humanizes its characters on both the right and the left (as well as villainizing both camps), but there’s no great tension in the murders, and no valid reason why the killer’s supernaturally invincible.
