Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's original screenplay was a darker, more disturbing story with bestiality and a lot more violence in it and it was definitely not a black comedy.
- GoofsReflections of the crew/equipment can be seen in the Sheriff's glasses when he is first shown.
- Quotes
[Vincent uses human flesh to spice up his smoked meat]
Vincent Smith: It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent Fritters.
- Crazy creditsThe film's opening title image is the neon-lit sign "Motel Hello" with the "o" at the end of it burned out. The entire sign is later shown to be slowly short circuiting during the closing credits and finally exploding after said closing credits end.
- Alternate versionsAlthough the UK theatrical version of the film was uncut, the 1986 UK Warner Bros. video release of it had to have two seconds cut from it to remove a closeup shot of a chainsaw wound during the ending. The 2002 ILC DVD release of it, however, was completely uncut.
Featured review
Well made horror
I love this movie! Nothing beats a deranged hillbilly farmer who wears a severed hog's head to terrorize people.
Rory Calhoun and Paul Linke are wonderful in their roles. Rory effectively pulls off the mild-mannered farmer with a dark secret routine, while Paul Linke handles the role of jealous cop perfectly.
Nina Axelrod supplies the sex appeal, and capably I might add. Though her penchant for much older men is a little disturbing.
This film has gained a solid cult following thanks to end showdown of good vs. evil, with Rory wearing that hog's head and chasing after Paul Linke with a chainsaw.
