      Audience Member Growing up in Canada in the 70's and 80's, my mom always told me I always had to clean my plate, because of all the children starving in other parts of the world, and of course this way of thinking was further imbedded in me from Roger Waters' saying I couldn't have dessert without eating all of my meat. Such underlying thoughts readily came to mind when watching the surreal dinner party scenes in the early stages of Regina's stay at Red Wolf Inn. I have to admit that I should have come across this before, but I had never previously come across it, and in fact hadn't seen any cannibalistic horror film until in my undergraduate days, when 'Silence of the Lambs' hit the theatres. I really enjoyed watching this, though I wish it wasn't the made-for-television cut that's in my Mill Creek 'Nightmare Worlds' 50-pack. The three girls who were invited were gorgeous, 'Baby John' reminded me of a cross between a very young Robert Redford and 'Thelma and Louise'-era Brad Pitt, and even though the direction is uneven and it is a tad slow in spots, the big reveal with 20 minutes to go is very well-done, and the end sequence is one of the most enjoyable I have ever seen. Well worth your time if you like exploitation/horror/B-movies from the 70's, even in the slightest.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member For those of us that loved the low-budget cult movie horror circus of the early 1970s--Campy!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It takes forever for the plot to start making sense, and once it does, it's pretty much a lackluster. There are better movies about cannibal families. The acting was just silly, and the ending was distasteful. It has some nice 70's horror moments, but not enough to be looked at like a classic. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring, meandering, aimless coupled with simple point and film directing and terrible acting. The director's use of putting blurry objects in the foreground deserves special mention. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this movie when I was a kid and now I understand why kids are not supposed to watch such movies. Many nightmares.
