Trivia:

This movie was filmed between 1989-1991 as a micro-budget indie, then spent the next 7 years seeking completion funds. Finally finished in 2000, it was released as a rental title by Spartan Home Entertainment, then picked up a year later as a sell-through title by Fox, who proceeded to botch the manufacturing and mistakenly only release the full screen version with bad sound and no extras.

oh dear god, WHY? WHY???

where does one start? the horrible acting? the lame story? the rotten direction, lighting, editing? how about the incredibly awful sound? and it has that "made in the 80's" feel to it. Uggh! I read that this film was shot and edited over a ten year period........dear god, this is all they could come up with in 10 years? I can't remember another horror film as bad as this except maybe The Item. All I can say is that all the reviews that thought this had ANYTHING good to it must have been made by people who watched it while imbibing huge quantities of alcohol or had some really good weed for the experience. NOTHING redeeming about this movie. Even if you bought/rent it for free you're still robbed of the hour and a half of your life it took to sit through this waste. Sorry Mr. Kurtz, this is no reflection of you as a person, but if you're reading this my strong suggestion to you is to find another line of work. I want my ten bucks back!
