I picked up this movie on DVD for about 25 bucks, which is a lot of money. Let's just say I was fooled by Ittenbach's notoriety and by the thought that this might be another Premutos. Unfortunately enough for me... it was not. In fact, I watched this thing with a couple of friends because they thought that the cover was cool and all and, an hour and a half later, we were left saying: "God, what an awful movie!" The fact is that this movie made absolutely no sense and was not at all funny or gory or well-made or anything, it was plain bad with almost no redeeming value. Hell! I thought the animated menu was better than the film! Since I consider myself quite an expert when it comes to b, horror and cult movies, you should trust me when I say: just skip it.

P.S. The version I saw had 5 minutes cut off but I'm positive in saying that even the 5 more thrilling minutes in cinema history couldn't possibly save this thing.
