This movie makes you appreciate the simple things...

... like driving nails into your head with a pipe wrench or slamming various body parts repeatedly in a car door.

I want to put Spoiler on this, but I think the movie's spoiled enough on it's own. Just scrape it into a Glad bag and leave it on the curb.

I'm amazed that someone actually made a movie that manages to be WORSE than "Manos: The Hands Of Fate."

Thank you, Leonard Kirtman, for making me renounce my home theater system. If there was a way to give a movie a lower rating than 1 Star, I would've jumped at it and shoved it down this movie's throat. (And I'm usually not a violent person...)

We picked this stink-burger up in a 50 movie boxed set for $9.95 (which comes to about .20 cents per film), and that's still .20 cents more than this was worth (and probably pretty damned close to what it cost to produce it in the first place). I'm tempted to go back to the store and demand my .20 cents back for this one.

The package said that it had a headless horseman on a ranch. That sounded cool!... Headless horseman in the Old West? How cool would that be?! So I put it into the machine. It's just a bunch of hippies getting stoned with a Super-8 movie camera and stumbling around a poorly created 'ghost town' set that would've made a much better paint-ball field than a movie. In fact, I think I'd rather have watched a bunch of stoned hippies stumbling around playing paint-ball than this. At least that would've been entertaining.

So here's a list of Pros and Cons!

Cons: Bad acting when they actually remember to act. When they aren't acting, it's even worse.

Poor sound recording. I think I understood maybe 6 words in the whole movie. Everything else sounded like it was recorded at the end of a 100' galvanized pipe.

Jumpy editing. They have Day for Night and Day for Day and they toss them all together into the same scenes.

Lame monster. He goes around flinging blood at people from like 10 feet away. Doesn't actually kill them. I'm guessing that the Fur Is Murder idiots use this as a training film.

Drug use indicated by flipping color filters. It didn't really get the point across so much as make you realize what a total moron the director was. The actors weren't good enough convey it, so I guess the director decided it was up to him to show us what was going on. And, it didn't work. At all.

Pros: ..... um..... dammit. I guess I don't get a RAM chip, Joel. :o(
