Slutty suicidal Sara (Meredith Henderson) is 'saved' by Sheriff Burger (horror film mainstay Robert Englund) after she gets hit by a car, dislocating her shoulder She taken to a local hospital where the body of a notorious serial killer who likes to rip hearts out of his victims' bodies, is being held whom obviously comes back to life or their wouldn't be a movie (not that I would've minded such a scenario mind you). But ANYways, Sara teams up with an equally unlikable fellow classmate with a chip on his shoulder and is prone to play the race card to escape the 'heart stoppers' undead clutches.This is a very generic teen slasher film that has absolutely nothing new to bring to the table, the gore is not that good and the acting even worse. At the end of the day though I was less angry with the people who made this bottom-of-the-barrel sludge & more mad at myself for wasting my time watching it.

A girl stands in the middle of the road, gets hit, and ends up sharing an ambulance with a serial killer who allegedly died in the electric chair. Well, he didn't die. And he is looking for the girl (Sara Wexler), which is coincidentally fairly easy, being in the same hospital.Some of this movie is pretty good. The electric chair scene is alright, the coroner scenes are pretty good. And I especially have to give a hand to Robert Englund. I was afraid he would show up for five minutes and then disappear, or give a lackluster performance to get a paycheck (like Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen seem to be doing lately). But Englund gives a great performance, and plays a hero brilliantly and with more passion than I've seen from him since "Slashed Dreams". Thank you, Mr. Englund.The plot is shaky. A killer who survives the chair... well, I want to reference "Shocker", but should I? (If the director has a Shockeresque killer and casts Robert Englund, does he have a Wes Craven fetish?) Anyway, it's something hard to pull off because there are already many immortal slashers out there. Further ,the plot is just weird -- the string of coincidences around the Sara Wexler character... I don't know. Hard to believe.And what's with the ripping out of the hearts? Okay, I get it -- he's a "heart stopper". But he puts his hand through a chest -- bones and all -- and pulls the heart out without blood and with neatly sawed off arteries. Weak, very weak. Maybe I can believe this in "Temple of Doom", but not here.So yeah. I might be a little harsh. After all ,this isn't pure rubbish like "Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis" or any number of other films I could name. But I felt I was short-changed as a viewer. You set me up for what could be a great supernatural slasher flick and then really drop the ball at the key moments. Thanks a lot. I make no recommendations for this film to anyone.

I watched this movie just because of Robert Englund (best known as Freddy Kruger from "Nightmare on ElmStreet"), but I was disappointed! This movie looks just like cheap 80's slasher movie (exaple: "Nightmare on ElmStreet" latest 4 sequels). This movie became a disaster at the end, when Chambers has been taken by tornado.Young actors acted nice. Meredith Henderson and Nathan Stephenson had show, that they can act very good, so some producers had to take them to better movies. Other actors acted fair. Robert Englund is still a good actor, but this movie has not been watching, if you're the fan of Roberts character Freddy Kruger. Plot of this movie was average (except ending).So, I give a 4 to this movie, but I was thought about 2 or 3.

Not the greatest by any means; but decent for a low end budget horror flick. Sheriff Berger(Robert Englund)watches a vicious serial killer named Chambers(James Brinkley)die in the electric chair...twice. At a going out of business hospital morgue, Chambers arises and does his thing...rip the heart out of the doctor doing the autopsy. Two young patients, Sara(Merideth Henderson) and Walter(Nathan Stephenson)struggle to stay alive as the hospital soon fills with blood. The ruthless killer makes it proof positive that he relies on souls of others to survive.Henderson out acts Englund in this creep thriller. Also in the cast: Laura DeCarteret, Michael Cram and Lori Hallier. HEARTSTOPPER does have some special effects that neither makes or breaks this bad scary movie.
