⭐ Featured Review

One of the great "what the..." movies.
by martinogorman2001-06-21

"Utter madness from HGL and probably his most accessible and entertaining film. The central premise is brilliant - someone should remake it - but all the weird subplots and scenes all add to the deranged atmosphere. The gore is pretty nastier and a definite progression from A Taste Of Blood and The Gruesome Twosome. The "eyeball" scene really surprised and shocked me because for once the effects are reasonably convincing. But it's Ray Sager's pompous portrayal of Montag that is the most appealing aspect for fans of kitsch and the ending is a genuine eyebrow raiser. Question..."

💡 Did You Know?

Ray Sager was a last-minute replacement for the original actor cast as Montag who dropped out of the movie right before shooting started.
