for a low budget movie and it way above average . in part to a well write ( albeit campy ) script and that have a a very good premise . the script itself have it high and low point and with many of the line go to maturin and who use them well . the script be mysterious and keep you hang on to see what will happen next . who care if it a knock off of puppetmaster . it have it own strange charm and in a john water direct type way . jack maturin do an excellent act job a the insufferable billionaire virgil travis . a do bill burn a the stoic mr. mascara . a must have in any horror collection . throughly entertaining and and way under rat imho .
