a sick man carleton hendricks ( dee snider ) and cruise the teen chat line a captain howdy . he pose a a teenage boy and invite other teen over his house to party . he instead knock them out and strip them and sew their mouth close and torture them ( mostly with needle ) . he capture the daughter of cop mike gage ( kevin gage ) . he find him and arrest him and he institutionalize . four year later he release . totally cured . but a lynch mop ( lead and amusingly and by robert englund ) attack him and hang him . he doesn not die but he snap and captain howdy be back . a very sick and disturbing and twisted horror film . captain howdy enjoy pain and torture and be try to show the kid he kidnap how to enjoy it also . the torture scenes aren not that explicit ( you hear more than you see ) and but what you do see be very very sick . there no humor and the ( mute ) scream of his victim sound way too real . i be cringe away from the tv during most of the scene . the act varies . kevin gage isn not that good a the cop he not terrible but he could have be well . dee snider be very scary a captain howdy his attack scene be not pleasant . all in all and not your typical horror film . i will probably never see it again ( this film really get under your skin ) but i recommend it to all horror fan at least those with strong stomach . i give it a 7 .
