**_Fun, but unfinished flick about deadly ogres by the Golden Gate Bridge_** The friends of a high school girl (Leilani Sarelle) are ruthlessly slain by monstrous freaks living under the Golden Gate Bridge, but the police don’t believe her outlandish story. Thankfully, her potential beau believes her (Clyde Hayes), as does an adolescent girl (Donna Locke), and they team-up to find the truth. “Neon Maniacs” (1986), aka “Evil Dead Warriors,” is similar to the contemporaneous “Trick or Treat” except that, unlike Sammi Curr in that movie, the titular antagonists are too cartoonish to be scary in any way, despite their gory slayings. The tone mixes brutal killings with a fun ‘kid flick’ spirit and it’s bewildering. The monsters curiously consist of a samurai, a caveman, a doctor, an Indian, a straight-jacket lunatic and so forth, but what they really are, their motivations and where they originated is never explained. While not noted in the movie, they’re rumored to be from another dimension, “the worst killers from across time” mumbo jumbo. Production and budget problems caused expository scenes to either be cut or never shot. Another casualty was the intended final battle between the protagonists and the maniacs, which explains the puzzling abrupt and inconclusive ending. As such, this is basically an unfinished film, but you won’t really realize it until the last act. Still, there’s plenty to appreciate for people interested in 80’s oddities: The likable protagonists have chemistry, Leilani Sarelle is winsome, and the "Battle of the 80's Bands" is cheesy fun (one a lame Rick Springfield knockoff and the other a kick-axx hair metal group). The film runs 1 hour, 31 minutes, and was shot in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Glendale, California. GRADE: C
