Trivia:
Several characters are named directly after characters in five Marx Brothers films: Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding from Animal Crackers (1930), Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff from Horse Feathers (1932), Rufus T. Firefly from Duck Soup (1933), Otis B. Driftwood from A Night at the Opera (1935), and Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush from A Day at the Races (1937) (all portrayed by Groucho Marx); and, Signor Emanuel Ravelli from Animal Crackers (1930) (portrayed by Chico Marx). Baby's real name, Vera-Ellen may also have a Marx Brothers connection, as actress Vera-Ellen portrayed character Maggie Phillips in their film _Love Happy (1949)_. more

Haven't I seen this before?, 12 February 2004
1/10
Author: (leagueofstruggle@prodigy.net) from Hurst, TX

Unnecessary rehash of mid to late 70's horror films with a dash of MTV flashy 'cutting edge' (sarcasm) cinematography. Tired premise that was baked, done, eaten, with the leftovers dried out as jerky. This film was supposedly held up due to excessive violence, grue, etc. I came away with the realization that the movie was just an overamped remake of every family slasher movie that had already come down the pike. General mismanagement of 'shock scenes' left me yawning. Perhaps I've seen too much of genre that this 'breath of fresh air to the horror film' just fell flat on its face.

I'd sooner watch the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Mother's Day, or The Hills Have Eyes.
