The film sat around gathering dust until Lionsgate finally picked it up. It made a healthy profit at the box office and this was really the point when the major studios sat up and took notice that audiences wanted their horror hard and gory. So, in many ways, it was partly responsible for initiating the new wave of extreme horror at the box office. I like it, anyway, I think it's an interesting and unusual horror film. |
I watched it again last week or the week before, can't remember, I thinks a great film, as is the Devil's Rejects, it's got plenty of gore, Bill Moseley, the delightful Sherri Moon-Zombie and Sid Haig, what's not to like?
