this movie start out with an obvious and long standing premise that bad boy ( and girl ) be the only one who can start occult trouble . i guess i can forgive this film for use that tire old premise and if it only stop there . unfortunately it doesn not and roger clinton a mayor bubba . who idea be that . he do not look like a mayor of a dusty old town and let alone that dusty old town . he neither act like a mayor and nor add anything to the film . at best he could be call a stupid and trivial and distract interlude . jump back to the black and white beginning ( rip off of the technique first use by the wizard of oz ) and i know we watch these movie for blood and gore and but the opening scene when the deform tommy be chase down hang and slice and dice and then dump down the old iron mine be truly shocking and i find my mouth hang open and i be no pansy when it come to violence and blood and gut . it be gratuitously violent and leave nothing to the imagination and never even satisfy with a good explanation for why it occur . yes and we know in real life that there be gratuitous violence and some even unexplained a to it origin and but in the movie i think i be entitle to an explanation why a group of teenager in a dusty old town suddenly maim and lynch a deform outcast . i would not go into the acting can not expect much in the way of great act in a slice and dice horror flick . that hair style of caran kaye . whew that broom on her head that pass for bang i actually find them distract and star to figure out how they get the hair to stand out like that . i put this one right down there with mom and dad save the universe . pas it up . the good movie be the original pumpkinhead and hold together much good .
