I actually know the asian kid (henry Weckesser) who played in the movie, we went to Juinor High together. The film was made here in Las Vegas, and it was just horrible. I didn't believe Henry when he told us he was going to be in this horror movie, and then I finally saw it. Oh man was it horror-ible. VERY low budget. It looked like it was filmed with a handheld camcorder (probably was). And to make matters worse, my bestfriend in high school had a copy of the tape because her COUSIN directed it. Small world for a BAD movie.
Me and my fiend rented this movie a little while back after spotting it in the video store! This is the kind of movie that is so awful you will pee your pants laughing! I've voted this move a one out of ten because I really wanna see this movie get into the bottom 100 to be recognised!
The tall retarded kid with the hunchback who's twice the height of the other kids steals the show but there are so many things to love about it! The AWFUL acting, the older sister who is portrayed by someone who is OBVIOUSLY a porn actress... God, I could go on all day about this movie!
If you ever get bored one weekend, invite a few friends over, get drunk and watch this movie! You won't be disappointed!

Some people have taken offense at the many references in this film to the stupid fat black kid, but I grew up as a stupid fat black kid and so I felt this film was a lesson in realism for all fat black kids (like myself). I really related to this kid the whole way through. But how could I not??? THIS MOVIE HAS IT ALL! I thought Friday the 13th part VII was good but BOY was I in for a shock! This is by far the greatest horror film of all time! Evil DeadII hath no competition for this FEATURE FILM. The cinematography: ruled. The acting: superb. The writing: intriguing. Buy this film. Own this DVD. Steal this VHS anything to get your hands on the glorious, soon to be sequeled, Mr. Ice Cream Man. You'll never eat a poptart the same way again.
The tagline of this "epic" was that, "everything has a price." Well, seeing this movie had a definate price. About an hour and a half of my life was utterly wasted in gazing at this digital piece of garbage. We laughed and cried and cried some more, but this movie just refused to end, no matter how much we begged it to.
If you're into seeing how bad movies can get, if your a fan of MST3K, or just some sick, sick, sick sadist, then this movie might be of value for you. However, for the sake of the future of the human race, Mack Hail and Jim Mills (the "geniuses" behind this movie) need to be forced to watch their own film to understand just how much pain and suffering they have unleashed upon the world.

What can I say? I found this for £1 in a Blockbuster Sale - it looked kinda cheesy, so I got it for a sleepover me and my mates were having. And it was THE BEST FILM I have probably ever seen. Everything from the horrific camera angles, the slow and pained speaking, the terrible script and inconsistent plot line made this the funniest film EVER. It was like Goosebumps or Are You Afraid Of The Dark, but in film version!! We laughed through the entire thing - if you want a film just to cheer you up, or to laugh at with mates, this is the one. I want to find the director to congratulate him. A fine, quality piece of work. 10/10.
