‘LOVERS LANE’ (1999) Heads To Blu-ray From Arrow Video

Valentine’s Day slashers aren’t super common. Of course, you have the staples: the original My Bloody Valentine (1981) plus the 2009 remake, and Valentine (2001), but after that, it gets a little sparse. Enter Lovers Lane (1999), an oft-forgotten V-Day slasher starring Scary Movie‘s Anna Faris. Who remembers? Arrow Video obviously does, because they’re bringing it to Blu-ray!

Read on for the details!

From The Arrow Video Website

Passions are aroused and old wounds reopened in this sassy post-Scream teen slasher based on the urban legend of “The Hook”.

A steamy secret tryst that was brutally cut short on Valentine’s Day an unlucky thirteen years ago comes back to haunt the teens who linger around the lovers lane where the double slaying took place. The County Sheriff Tom Anderson (Matt Riedy) has just about come to terms with the fact that it was his wife who died in another man’s car on that fateful night. His daughter Mandy (Erin J. Dean), who as a four-year-old saw her mother’s corpse carried away from the scene, has a different take on things. It doesn’t help that her classmate Michael (Riley Smith) lost his father to the same hook-handed homicidal maniac in that night’s incident. To cap it all off, as another Valentine’s Day comes round, reports come through that the man arrested as “The Hook” has just bust out of his asylum.

Prepare yourself for the ultimate hook up in a scream-a-minute rollercoaster that marked the film debut of Anna Faris (the Scary Movie series; Lost in Translation).
