Nonureva Really Surprised!
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
dmymu02 As a boy growing up in NJ I had the privilege of knowing one of the crew of this film and living 20 minutes from Essex County where this now demolished asylum once stood. Back in 1987 we got to see them filming the part where they were praying in the chapel of the asylum. I remember the killer Mitch scared the bejesus out of me as a kid and I think I even had some nightmares. That old asylum was damned creepy and there was a lot of supernatural presence. Today my brother and I still have the autographed photograph of the actor who played the killer. I'm 26 now and I'm a die-hard fan of the genre for those that want to talk horror movies, you know how to reach me!Dave
SpookyT I am somewhat of a fan of bad horror movies. A guilty pleasure, I suppose one would call it. I love this movie. The first time I rented it, someone had taped over all but the first half hour. So I saw just enough to hook me into a several year hunt for the full video. When I saw it I was elated to find a movie that didn't take itself at all seriously. The people who made this movie KNEW it was bad and they didn't care.. why? Because it's FUN!!! The 'evil' character in this movie has the most wonderful comedic lines as he commits his villainy. The other characters are totally stereotypes taken from every slasher movie made. I suggest everyone who is a fan of offbeat B (okay it's probably a v) grade movies, check this out.
Shadow_Destiny It is the holy grail of B movies! The acting is sad, but that only adds to the laughs! Effects? Well in the opening scene where a girl loses an arm, you can clearly see her arm "hidden" under some hay. Which only adds to the laughs! And such classic lines as "But, mom! That would be incest!", "I voted for Reagan", and "I hate rap music!!" You would just have to see the movie to really appreciate these lines! If you see it to rent/buy/steal whatever... PICK IT UP!
dood15 a friend of mine rented this on a whim and we watched it thinking it would me MST3K quality schlock... but it's not... i think this is really the worst movie i've ever seen. no plot, horrible effects, just plain bad. interesting deaths, but with the 25 dollar budget, it just couldn't deliver. this movie was worse that April Fool's Day. i highly recommend that you never ever see this movie.
