Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Cheaply made, some incredibly imaginative set designs are squandered by the nonsensical plot. Rated: 1/5 Oct 8, 2020 Full Review James Evans Starburst It's a dreadful misfire, alternately laughable and dull and never managing to become more than a cult oddity. Rated: 6/10 Nov 28, 2017 Full Review Christopher Machell CineVue The carnival setting is brilliantly deployed ... recalling many an episode of Scooby Doo Rated: 4/5 Jan 17, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I'm sorry, but it was kind of horrible. Maybe I'm just not hip enough to get it... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
