      Audience Member Cameron Mitchell, Alan Hale Jr., Aldo Ray and Dan Haggerty all in one movie? Are you trying to give Bill Van Ryn a heart attack, Nick Marino? Actually, Marino may not have even directed this. Instead, it may have been a combination of Fred J. Lincoln (who in addition to playing Weasel Podowski in The Last House on the Left directed 310 movies like Garden of Eatin' and A Place Beyond Shame and also owner Plato's Retreat at one point) and the eyepatch wearing Andre DeToth, who shot House of Wax in 3D despite not being able to see it in three dimensions. A bunch of no good kids — hey look, effects expert William Butler and there's Michelle Bauer and adult star Jamie "the Brat" Summers — sneak into the mansion of Lance Hayward (John Ireland), who has gone mad and loves to dress up as his old characters and kill people. This movie sat and collected dust for twenty years before it finally escaped. All of the old footage in it had copyright issues, so it's back to no one talking about it. Seek it out, check it out, enjoy the old Hollywood killing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly slasher movie with cameos by The Skipper and Grizzly Adams! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member O.K. late 80's slasher that remained unreleased until early in the new millenium. It's not at all surprising that it took that long to get out on any home video market, as the film itself is sort of a mess, an occasionally fun mess, but it's still a mess. The plot had some interesting ideas going on and the killer himself is quite the character, but a super slow pace does away with tension instead of building it. The film isn;t badly shot and boasts some nice production values, especially for a film of this type, let alone one made at the tail end of the 80's slasher wave. Even the acting isn't half bad. It's just a shame the lousy pace kills most of this promising movie. The ending is as weird and hallucinatory as you can get, except it makes no sense and leaves you gasping for answers. It felt like there was a few more minutes to the movie that got lost. Not really worth your time, but if there's nothing else to watch, it might not be that bad.
