Oh brother...

Wow. This is one heck of a bad flick.

I picked this one up figuring that the subliminal messages that the packaging touts so much would be good for a few laughs. Boy was I wrong. There wasn't much outside of a sort of creepy house, a married couple, a guy who looked like Festus from Gunsmoke, and lots of distributor cap hiding.

I give it a 1 out of 10. Skip it.
