Summary: Unhinged
Review: I bought this movie as soon as I read it was banned. Well, I'm sure it was banned due to lack of substance, moreso than gore and depravity. I'll admit I'm a horror buff, but this movie had so many holes even the "shocking" ending couldn't fill 'em. Well, I won't blow the ending for you, but I am going to mention one thing. The girls are involved in an accident and are forced to seek help from an old woman and her mysterious daughter. Okay, here's the hole. The girls are there for days, right? And one of their friends is injured, BUT THEY NEVER CHECK ON THEIR FRIEND UNTIL THE END. If you were stuck in some strange house and weird things are going on and your friend is in critical condition, wouldn't you check on her? This little "hole" really irritated me. I mean, yes, the movie might have a innovative twist, but it's nothing new, really. If you're a horror buff like me, I'm sure you've already watched it or read it elsewhere; so, beware, buy something else. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU. So, unless you're Rob Zombie, stay away from this film.

Summary: I want those 80 minutes of my life back!
Review: I have seen hundreds of horror films in my time, and I would put this one in the top five worst I've ever seen. It's not even that charming so-bad-it's-good kind of flick. It's just plain bad. I found myself checking my watch throughout the movie and hoping that something--anything--would happen on screen. There are three bloody murders, but the rest of the movie is terribly slow and dull. The lighting is too dark, the editing looks like it was done by high school students, and the acting could have been better performed by robots. If you are forced by gunpoint to watch this movie, check out the special features. They contain an interview with the director and co-writer. Try to make some sense out of what he's talking about--or even if he's capable of speech--and you'll see why this movie is such a disaster.


Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A slasher worth seeing.
Review: OK, let me be honest, this in no classic horror film. But for bonafide 80s slasher film fans, it's a must have, or at least a must-see. Why? Some good murders, a great cheesy synth score, and the sleazy shock ending.
Three cute chicks get stuck at an old mansion after their car crashes, put up by a spinster and her batty old mother for the night. Of course, there is a mad killer on the loose...
Outrageously over the top acting, goofy dialogue and bad 80s make-up and hair had me laughing out loud.
Don't get me wrong, the film has it's flaws....not enough killings (although the few we get are top-notch), a tad too slow paced....but it's an important part of the 80s slasher craze, and is a must for completists.

Summary: Should be zero stars
Review: This is the worst movie I've ever seen, and I have seen plenty of low-budget flicks. There is plenty of dead time between scenes, the story line is ridiculous, the acting is the worst I've ever seen, and the pace of the film is so slow that I dare you to try to stay awake through the whole thing. Buy this film only if you are looking for the worst one ever (which is why I bought it).

Summary: most the other reviewers are being to harsh!!!!
Review: this movie is not as bad as the other reviewers say it is.yes its slow not gory and there is plenty of flaws but all and all the movie is still pretty good.there isnt alot of murder scenes though the murder scenes that are in the movie are pretty good in that cheesey b horror way.not the greatest directing but not the worst in the world by no means at all. the story isnt to original but the ending is for its time,though it does have a little pinch of hitchcock,it still is an original ending for its time.real horror fans stick it out and wait for the ending, im sure you wont be as discruntled as the other reviewers are.the problem with this movie is the pace,its really slow and there should have been another murder or two.other than that it was a good corney but spooky,forcefully suspenseful(as in the pace of the movie)budget flick. IT DESERVES MORE THAN 1 STAR and i liked it.hurry up and get it before you cant find it anymore.even if its just for the spooky,twisted,make u feel dirty ending,its worth it, despite the nay sayers. so get the dvd,flaws and all.flaws hmmmmmmm! doesn't that define b style horror movies?? I THOUGHT SO!!!! B MOVIES ROCK!!!

Summary: Very Disappointing! Not Worth The Hype!
Review: Three young pretty girls go on a road trip to a concert. All of a sudden they meet into an accident due to a storm which drives them off the road. They are taken in by a kindly couple & an old lady in a wheelchair in a Gothic-style Victorian mansion where everything & everyone seems a little odd...

I bought this DVD from Best Buy with the lurid titles that said that this low budget American film contains "NUDITY, VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE, DISTURBING THEMES", & it was "BANNED IN ENGLAND IN 1985 & WAS PULLED FROM DISTRIBUTION". Wow! What clever marketing by the producers of this DVD to disguise the fact that this is nothing more than an average slasher, teen-aged girls in peril film. Needless to say, I was very disappointed when I saw this independent;y produced low budget American horror film. As a film by itself, it was not bad. It was filmed in grainy film stock which conveyed good use of lighting which gives a very atmospheric look to the film. At times, the film looked very muddy which is a big disappointment as well. The nudity was there, but not as lurid as the film suggested. The gore was minimal, only bloody moments & the actual killing were done off-screen.

Very disappointed in this film. Good for a rental...maybe. Just your run-of-the-mill slasher film. Nothing more. You can probably find more disturbing & creepy moments if you bought LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT in which this film tries to emulate, but failed. Watch LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT instead.

And the audio commentary by "The Detractors" was very annoying & not comical at all.
I give this film 2 stars out of 5.
