Cheaply made, some incredibly imaginative set designs are squandered by the nonsensical plot. Go to Full Review James Evans Starburst 11/28/2017

It's a dreadful misfire, alternately laughable and dull and never managing to become more than a cult oddity. Go to Full Review Christopher Machell CineVue 01/17/2017

Bruce M @BruceMc Sep 19 Unwatchably bad: terrible acting, boring script. A couple of nice shots, though not enough to be considered "stylish." Very, very cheap-looking. See more 11/22/2017 I'm sorry, but it was kind of horrible. Maybe I'm just not hip enough to get it... See more 06/15/2017 My favorite creepy throwback to the '70s horror drive-in scene. Love where the ghouls sing madrigals and watch horror movies while enjoying a tasty snack. It's one trippy flick. See more Read all reviews
