Oy, what a shanda.

Poor Sid Haig and Dick Miller. Both going out with this travesty as their last film. The premise seemed like it would be full of blasphemous satire in the vein of such schlocky classics as Silent Night Deadly Night and Black Christmas.

But this monstrosity is just dire and unpleasant. The plot is razor thin. The "villain" is lame with a tired motivation. Every character is unsympathetic with cringe-worthy dialogue that ranges from absurd to proselytic. It is either trying too hard to be outrageous or taking itself way too seriously. But it never manages to be fun or even ironic. I was hoping for so much better.

Bloodless, pointless, waste of Sid Haig talent.

I watch many films, I won many films. So I have seen a fair few that fall below a certain standard. I rarely score a film below 4 because I appreciate the work that must have gone into a film to get it made.

I've seen some terrible films but got to the end. With this film I just couldn't watch more than an hour. Extremely rare. I just couldnt commit more time wasted.

The acting is ok. The script is lazy and just appeals to Jewish people and even then I reckon they will find it boring and not funny. The deaths are mostly off screen. You see nothing at all. Which is inexcusable for a horror film. Zero tension or plot.......

Poor Sid Haig (whom I respect) looked terribly unwell jn this, but he gave a great performance at the start of the film which made the film look dark and creepy....I had high Hope's.....then hes hone and the film becomes a lame Jewish kids at a extremely lame party and disappear one by one (off screen) Avoid. Avoid avoid.

I added points purely for Sid Haig performanceand for the many posters of the film that copy famous films, Friday 13th, Halloween etc etc. And some great female bodies on show. The (Butter face) blonde who everyone is supposed to fancy has a great body........ but her face....... ewwww

A rare low low score from me. Shouldn't have even been made.

Imagine that!

Another garbage movie where the producers pay some old 80s horror icons a thousand bucks to appear in it for five minutes. Then they use said icon's name to lure people into watching their crappy movie!

Decent Horror

Watched this as a goof since it was rated 3.2 and to my surprise it was an enjoyable quality horror movie that also had me laughing out loud several times.

Pretty good

Yes the acting isn't that great and the ending is a little lackluster but it's still surprisingly good and not to mention it starts the amazing sid haig (house of 1000 corpses, high on the hog) and pj soles (Carrie, stripes) I was surprisingly loving this film it was so great seriously I highly suggest that you guys check this film out and the deaths are surprising like they are actually really interesting. If you can get past the very few bad things I'm telling you guys that you would really like this hey, you might even love it it should be considered an instant classic really check this out...

Scary, Erotic, Original, and Torah-fying!

Props to the director and writer.

What a great, erotic and original horror movie. This is also one of the Sid Haig's last performances.

I hope this film create some new jewish trends in the horror genre.

Merry Christmas.
