Unreal cult classic!, 20 June 1999
Author: David Atfield (bits@alphalink.com.au) from Canberra, Australia

Some people have complained that this film is one of the worst ever made, and that may be true, but it has distinct cult appeal. This is a film for anyone who has ever faced their worst nightmares and realised they weren't so bad after all. Watch in horror as the worst movie of the eighties becomes the cult hit of the nineties. And the xylophone sequence! A real gem!
