Dee Snider came out swinging with his first horror film. He played with all the fringe stuff in a more overt way than Clive Barker did with Hellraiser. But the movie has some major flaws - story structure being a big one. Another is poor direction. I know this movie was low budget, but so was Dawn Of The Dead or Friday The 13th. Finally, the acting was wooden from people who have performed much better. I kinda blame the directing for that as well. Conceptually, Snider knew what he wanted and Captain Howdy was a fully fleshed out villain, but the writing around him was bad. Overall, the movie is still fun if you’re a horror fan, a Snider fan or just curious. Just know what you’re getting and you’ll get it in spades.
