Featured review
This movie looked pretty good a first. A somewhat original idea for a horror movie, I was looking forward to this movie to come out. I rented it on DVD, and I just had to laugh. Dee Snyder needs to stay out of the horror movie business! Probably the movie business altogether. The movie starts out promising, but goes downhill from there. The "bad guy," Captain Howdy is laughable, and the piercings and tattoos make you laugh, instead of making you scared! The actors in this movie are horrible, and I'm shocked they ever landed parts in their lives. I just found out the girl from Freaks and Geeks is the young girl who is tormented by Howdy, and I think she was awesome in Freaks and Geeks, but here, she's just like the rest of them. When it comes down to it, she doesn't even have any lines in the entire film, and her part is just a tiny piece of the puzzle. The detectives in this movie are fake, and both of them can't act for nothing. Like I said, the start of the film is ok with an internet stalker/murderer played by Snyder, but his character just isn't scary. Not much in the movie is scary, and most of it is just a way for Snyder to try to freak you out with horrible scenes of girls tied up naked with hooks going into their bodies, etc. I wouldn't waste my time on this movie. It's a bad movie, and an even worse horror movie.
