02/01/2020 Uummm, ok then 🤪 beginning and end horrible. Middle pretty good See more 01/20/2017 Grotesque is a spectacular mess. The filmmakers really didn't know. In the end we have what can be classed as 3 separate movies, and all three are awful. The first 3rd has the family being slaughtered by punks looking to score big money by robbing the family. The middle act has a twisted and ugly man chasing down the punks and killing them, and the aftermath with the survivors and the police. The conclusion sees all of this as a bad movie in a theatre and showing us what the 'real' monsters are. Not one of these acts would have made its own good movie, the summation was even worse. See more 09/07/2015 Part slasher movie, part home invasion thriller, part revenge drama, part movie monster meta in-joke(?). It has no idea what it is or wants to be, but it's different; I'll give it that. See more 01/01/2014 what is real or what is illusion? that's the major theme in this extremely corny late 80s horror movie. it plays more like an unintentional comedy. too much of the movie is painfully obvious in what it's intentions are making the whole gimmick it's pushing for lame. however there are a few inspired moments, but overall never achieves for anything golden. donna wilkes and linda blair do whatever is possible tor rise above the messy material. See more 04/01/2013 Okay, this was a largely terrible movie, but one of those that struck me as charming in the 'so bad it's good' vein, so just strap in and give ti a look. Punkers crash the party at a remote cabin, which in turn signals the arrival of a hideously deformed killer, who may or may not be trying to help the family that;s being held hostage. Wacky shit, worth a rental. See more 02/24/2012 Damn punkers! I have yet to see an 80s Linda Blair movie that AMAZES me but at least this was better than The Chilling. I have yet to watch Hell Night, so don't get your panties in a bunch. While this may be one of Blair's less-favorable movies it's DEFINITELY one of Robert Z'Dar's better choices.
