Man O Man!!! What a bizarre movie!, 16 April 2009
Author: fitloft from Edmonton, Canada

I really have no choice but than to give this freak-show a 10. This makes Ed wood and his Plan 9 look like Orson Welles and Citizen Kane! From start to finish is like being on a continuous acid trip...Mrs Pringle and the statue of Napoleon the Leopard to the dancing Kentucky fried chicken eating coeds to Terrance and his girlfriend eating potato chips, mauling fruit and drinking Michelob beer. Rodney the mentally ill murdering son which bids the evil doing scalping, delivers a tour DE force performance which Anthony Hopkins could learn a thing or two from. Sit back , smoke a blunt or better yet magic mushrooms and prepare yourself for a riot!!!!
