Joshua B Strangeland is a movie defined by the decade it was made in. The film starts out with a pretty interesting concept. A high stakes game of cat and mouse between a Detective and a Psycho with an early 90s internet backdrop. Unfortunately, that quickly dissolves into a something seemingly written by a high school edgelord. The writing is atrocious and insults the intelligence of the viewers many times with its lack of logic. The characters are mostly cardboard 90s cliches with the dialogue to match. Only a couple performances stand out as somewhat decent. Dee Snider's Captain Howdy does come off as very intimidating and Snider puts a lot into the performance, but it is mired in senseless monologues and the lack of a fleshed out backstory. Robert Englund also shines as he gives an over the top yet entertaining performance as vengeful member of the community. It's somewhat ironic as well considering his most well known role. I do feel the need to say that the imagery of body modification torture that Captain Howdy inflicts on his captives is very well done and highly disturbing. If you don't have a piecing, this film will make you consider never changing that. Overall, this movie has the bones of something that could have been an instant classic but it fails to add the much needed flesh and viscera that would have brought it to life.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review J.P. H Dee Snider, longtime front man for the heavy metal band, Twisted Sister, and the one time director of "Dee Snider's" Strangeland, an abysmal collection of horrible on set choices exacerbated by what one can only hope were Snider's eventual acknowledgement that perhaps he should have relegated his boundless rock-and-roll confidence specifically to his career in that very industry. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Jenna R I absolutely loved this one!! This movie came out before the internet became what it is today, and in those days, it was easy for predators to lure young teens into meeting up with them. I think this movie raises a concern that still exists today, which is to be cautious when interacting with strangers online. You never know who is on the other side.
