there use to be a certain naivety in low budget horror back in and oh and maybe the 70 and 80 . a film could be earnest and yet not very good and and perhaps with some unintentional entertainment value ( like laugh ) . seem like those day be go forever a up and come director can turn out seemingly serious horror movie and like this and at the drop of a hat and and get them release on an unsuspecting public . be warn and this be a real piece of work . perhaps the maker of this film be earnest in their effort and but the acting be terrible and the character be unconvincing and like the tough blond police officer and the drunken retire ex cop that team up to catch the perpetrator in this film . the story be that young kid be get kill in grisly way by some leatherface look killer and who may be an escaped mental patient . suspicion fall on the janitor at the high school though and mainly because he big and weird . he play with doll and and rock em sock em robot with kid face tap on . he also pretend to be a rock star and stick pin in doll and etc . the tough and potty mouthed police officer then ease up and team up on the potty mouth ex cop and they set out to find the killer . the red herring in this film be practically throw into your lap and or perhaps your face . there be some scene in this film that make you wonder if this be intend a a horror comedy and but it pretty difficult to say . the film really doesn not work on either level . overall this be generally uninvolving and it just play on until you either finish watching it or rip it out of the player and go to bed before it over and like i do . maybe the killer wasn not who it seem to be and there be some great twist to it . can i live without know this . you betcha . negative .
