decent and amusing, 5 January 2004
Author: (callanvass@hotmail.com) from victoria b.c canada

Amusing flick is decently made but badly acted and the script is kinda sloppy written but this is mildly entertaining and pretty amusing. Horrible make up effects just adds to the charm. All in all i suppose it is worth a look **1/2 out of 5
