What can be said about a movie that attempts to emulate the formula of Manos: the hands of fate? This movie is plagued by an endless rampage of flaws. Everything that can go wrong does. I realise there are budgetary reasons for it but what about things like dialogue? That costs nothing and in this movie i guess they got what they paid for. I enjoy Romero's energy on a Ed Wood level, but this just defied logic. Consider the scene where the farmer runs into the house fleeing the scythe-wielding maniac killer...and leaves the door wide open! He then locks himself in the room that used to belong to the hired hand, but when he hears a noise he just unlocks the door and runs outside! Granted, he is going to make a run for the car, but he passes the house's door again (if are keeping track it's the one he left unlocked on the way in) and...yep, you guessed it. He locks the door on the way out.
This is by far the worse movie I have ever seen. Not that there aren't good points...there is humour. The problem is, it is all unintentional. One good example is that the undercover cops ask the farmer if they can use the phone since their car died. Once inside by the phone, the cop says "I'll call the insurance". Insurance??? What the heck????
