 Death By Engagement (2005) – Philip Creager.

As a long-since lapsed actor of only modest talent; I had, in truth, a noisome tendency to 'go large', so I must say that Mommie Dearest P.J Soles did a spectacular job of the slow-burn creepy antagonist, which is quite hard to pull off convincingly. This lively telekinetic/supernatural slasher remains a lot of fun to watch, reminded me in part of 'Patrick', and 'The Sender', the killer's especially bloody preference for blunt force trauma is genuinely quite nasty to behold! Death By Engagement does a pretty stalwart job of successfully blending bawdy stoner humour jackanapes with grisly, supernaturally-inflected Slasher tropes.
