it's a joke..., 10 May 1999
1/10
Author: Bo (harold.baur@nl.origin-it.com) from Eindhoven, Netherlands

... but not a very funny one.

If you're into "funny horror" movies, chances are you'll be mildly amused by this one. Like "House 2", "Evil Dead 2" and "Brain Dead" this movie is grotesque, gory and not to be taken totally serious. My only problem really is that a) it didn't say so on the rental and b) most other funny horror movies do the same job better.
