Bunch a Cotton Pickers

Now this should be classified as the comical horror. I bought the movie for 5 bucks (Canadian so thats what? 35 cents American?) Anyway was not too spectacular however I do enjoy he part when the first guy gets caught in the cotton grinder. The monster rat with wings was pretty cool. And I especially loved all there rats/mice whatever they were not too clear they kept changing there minds. But this is a classic.

7/10 One too watch just to say you have seen it
