Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 11, 2005 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Rated: 1/5 Jul 30, 2002 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Tries real hard, but yields very little. Deservedly obscure early 80's horror spoof. Rated: 1/5 Jul 25, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Darren B I remember watching this in the 80's and thought in parts it was hilarious…."What difference does it make" made me laugh so much and "How can you love me with these…humongous…eye brows" It was what it was daft 80's humour… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Stephen C LOL, the funniest 1 27/60 hours ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/22 Full Review Audience Member This is my favorite film from childhood, and when I've found it randomly over the years (it's a hard one to find), I giggle like a little kid. There's not many films from my childhood where the jokes still hit (Franklyn Ajaye as Leroy, "The Libray is closed. All white people must leave!") and it isn't combative to our collective wokeness to our brainwashing by pop culture, "You're Doooooomed!". I find something new in it every viewing even though it regurgitates a lot of old parodies. Man oh man--this is the ultimate comfort food film for me. Mashed potatoes goodness. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member well here it is folks my favourite comedy of all time, ive watched hysterical so many times but even after all these years itstill has me in tears......YOUR DOOMED lol, enjoy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember liking this movie when I saw it once when I was around 8 years old and now realize that it was probably a good way to waste an afternoon. Looking back, I think it was corny and childish. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member welcome to the town of hellview!
