The storyline was was predictable, reminded me of Halloween and Michael Myers. I gave it a six because it delivered on Horror and gore.

In a stormy night, the evil serial-killer Jonathan Chambers (James Binkley) is executed in the electric chair. The arrogant coroner Doctor Hitchens (Michael Cram) brings the corpse in an ambulance to a hospital for the autopsy escorted by the County Sheriff Berger (Robert Englund) that arrested Chambers.

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.

I recently bought this one because i saw a few gory scenes online, and thought hey let's give it a try. Bad idea, Heartstopper is a mediocre slasher about a nut-job serial killer who comes back to life after being electrocuted like we've already seen in "Wes craven's Shocker" (which is a far more superior slasher movie).

Heartstopper starts late one stormy night as convicted serial killer Jonathan Chambers (James Binkley) is executed in the electric chair, he is pronounced dead & taken to a nearby hospital to undergo an autopsy. However en-route Sheriff Berger (Robert Englund) runs into a suicidal teenager named Sara Wexler (Meredith Henderson) crouched in the middle of the road, she is put in the ambulance along with Chambers dead body & taken to the hospital.

A psychopath, supposedly executed via electric chair, somehow survives to terrorize a hospital full of nurses, doctors, and patients, in pursuit of a suicidal teenage young woman the object of bullying and ridicule in school. You can shoot him multiple times, break two bottles of sulfuric acid on his face, and stab him in the heart numerous times with a scalpel, yet thanks to his allegiance to "the dark lord", this bloodthirsty maniac doesn't stop.

I just watched it and I am angry. How can they be allowed to produce such a bad film!

A serial killer, who likes to rip out his victim's pumping hearts, is executed in the 'chair and his corpse is taken to a run down hospital for an autopsy. Somehow, inexplicably, he rises from the dead to continue his spree of carnage within the hospital.

"Heartstopper" was directed by John A.Russo and is based on his own written novel "The Awakening".
