Love is in the air once again down in the Video Dungeon on this Valentine's Day, and this week we're slashing into Lover’s Lane (1999)! In this deep dive, we review the movie’s plot, kills, killer reveal, and its connection to the urban legend of "The Hook." Plus, we take a look at an early performance from Anna Faris just one year before making Scary Movie. With Scream, I Know What you Did Last Summer, their respective sequels, and even Urban Legend being perviously released, is Lover's Lane the LAST slasher cash-in of the 90's and how does it stack up amongst the classics?

We're joined by Logan from ‪@videovillaentertainment‬ in the Video Dungeon this week to talk about Michael Caine and disembodied hands again with Oliver Stone's psychological horror cult classic, The Hand! Comic artist Jonathan Lansdale loses his hand in a freak accident and is struggling to cope with the trauma of it all. He begins experiencing black outs and visions of his disembodied hand walking around on its own, or at least he thinks they're just visions... until the dead bodies start piling up. Are these all just delusions in his head or is Jonathan's severed hand killing everyone who does him wrong?
