"No dogs were stomped, thrown, or run over by cars (twice), during the making of this motion picture." (Ironically, almost immediately below that text is this: "In Loving Memory of Tofu". Tofu was the dog that played Reggie B in the movie.)

User Reviews

Interesting for the genre lovers, skip otherwise

To make a long story short: it's not scary, and is poor in every aspect

• script, camera, directing, acting.. Moreover it tries (poorly again)

to be a grotesque in a way of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre II. So Simon says: "Do not watch this movie".

Good news is that it has got a spark of creativity, i.e. some of the scenes/effects were way beyond my expectation like one with a dog, and with flying blonde. Brutal, cold blooded, blunt, not too detailed - right to what it should be.

Well, simply avoid this Simon unless you are a horror fan with some exploratory streak.
