Poor Bastards of Cinema: Houseboat Horror (Again)

 Houseboat Horror is basically a Slasher Film Demo Reel.

It barely has a Plot.
It has lots of pointless killing.

Arguably, the second most pointless comes with this guy- a Park Ranger.

He sees our Heroes off on their titular Houseboat, but stays behind to watch the Lake.
Our Killer- who, to remind you, is killing people that Film stuff since he was injured on a Film Shoot by this Lake- shows up...
…and kills him.

This also begins his streak of using a weapon once, leaving it in a body and then picking up a new murder weapon.
So, in summary, the Killer breaks his own motivation (or at least stretches the logic of it) to kill this random guy.  Joy.

The moral: if you choose to work in Local Government, get a desk job.

Next up, a famous Actor is a Poor Bastard?  He is when his role is that unimportant overall.  See you then...
