Friday the 13th: The Series - Episode 3 Cupid's Quiver

This episode of Friday the 13th: The Series was directed by award winning and Oscar nominated Canadian Atom Egoyan, though it is not listed on his Wikipedia page.
It's about a 'Nice Guy'...one of those men who expect women to date them because they aren't assholes but get pissed off when they get turned down...and on this show that means people die.
A creepy 'Nice Guy' asks a woman, who is sitting and chatting with another guy to dance...she turns him down and he goes back to the bar where he has a Cupid's statue in a burlap bag, because of course you do. The Cupid 'shoots' the girl who turned him down and now she can't get enough of 'Nice Guy'. It's like a supernatural roofie. They go to a motel and get it on whilst the Cupid watches...gross. The 'Nice Guy' starts tho strangle the girl but the police bust in and stop him.

You can tell it's evil just looking at it.

When Micki and Ryan interview the motel manager it turns out some Frat-bros helped break down the door to the room when the police raided it...one of them must have taken it! Off to the university!
Ryan, Micki and Jack want to search the Frat for the Cupid, so they end up at a Frat party. Somehow Jack bartends and makes a 'Scottish truth potion' cocktail to try and get the where abouts of the Cupid out of the Frat-bros. The frat had it but new creepy 'Nice Guy' Eddie, Frat-bro wannabe, gets a hold of the Cupid of Malek. He's in love with some girl, Laurie, that tutored him once and thinks it was a date...uh-oh. He uses it on one of the girls at the party and they end up 'parking' in the woods...and then she dies of bee stings. WTH?
Eddie returns to the party and tries to give Laurie the Cupid. They try and explain to Laurie that Eddie is obsessed with her and that she's in danger. Ryan gets the Cupid back from Eddie but it gets taken by Uni security because the Frat-bros have said it was stolen. Eddie gets it back from the security guard, cuz they're buddies. Laurie ends up going back to the antique shop for her safety. Unforunately, it turns out Laurie was 'stung' by the Cupid and is now in love with Eddie. She sneaks out and goes to Eddie in his creepy basement home...no wait...it's Micki in a bad wig! They know everything! Dammit! Micki gets shot bu the Cupid. Eddie grabs Micki and threatens her and Ryan with a fire axe. Ryan chases him through the creepy basement and then Eddie falls to his death.
In the end Jack lectures Ryan about not taking what they're doing seriously enough.
