No entertainment value whatsoever

I don't normally leave comments about films (usually just read them) but after watching this pile of dog dung, I felt compelled to warn people to keep away. A lot of films I watch are no budget z grades, I watch a few block busters now and again to regain some sanity. I love the b movie thing but this IS the worse film I can remember, EVER. This even beats the awful "Necro files" and "Goblet of gore". Yes there was gore but the gratuitous corpse "thing" come off it how long did that go on for. Yes I should have turned it off, don't know why I didn't it certainly wasn't because of any entertainment value. Film quality rubbish of a poor VHS source, acting.....what acting, story then....what story, no burn any evidence of this now and teach the children never to embark on this kind of thing ever again.
