This is classic, late night at the movies kind of film-making. To go to such extremes as to include scratches on the film and film that jumps as though it's been rudely edited by pimple-faced projectionists in small towns across the country, lends an air of authenticity to this horror flick.

I felt like I was 18 again and seeing whatever cheap film the theatre could afford -- does anyone else remember such films as "The Legend of Boggy Creek"?

I laughed. There was blood and body parts everywhere. Campy dialogue. Outrageous situations. It had everything a smash-up horror flick should have, including the troubled hero with a solid constitution.

Have fun and check it out.
