Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
CultObscura — ★★★½
“An incoherent masterpiece of scrappy low-budget horror: Nixon mask + rocket-scientist Nazi + occult house = pure 80s oddball.” -
Midnight Maniac — ★★★
“Terrible acting, weird pacing, but I couldn’t look away. It’s like someone mopped up the rejected scenes of better slashers and dumped them here.” -
GrueFanatic — ★★★★
“So bad it’s mesmerizing. You watch it to see what’s next, not because it makes sense.” -
VHS Hunter — ★★★☆☆
“It tries to do a lot and fails about half the time — and yet some scenes are strangely hypnotic.” -
IndieHorrorNut — ★★★★½
“One of those underground horror films that repays a curious viewer. Uneven, bizarre, and full of crazy ideas.”
Meta Description:
