Tacky and (intentionally) funny.
15 February 2006
Just seen this film on the new 'Movies4Men' channel on UK digital satellite. Judging by the time it was shown (7pm), and the obviously chopped editing - this was a heavily-cut PG version.

So, I guess I got a flavour only! But the adjective that springs to mind when summarising this film is "weird". Yes, it's the weirdest movie I've ever seen.

I did not realise that Slim Pickens had no chin.

The lead actor (whose name I have forgotten already) has the most annoying smile of all time, and once you have seen it, his facial expression will stay with you for ever.

Good old Shelley Winters as reliable as ever.

But the story! Who thought this one up! Why did the leading lady just not escape from the nightmare? Some scenes are priceless (notably the tomato-eating one mentioned above). Towards the end we must have the greatest parade of rednecks ever. I mean, these people make the dudes from 'Deliverance' look normal.

If you're curious, it's worth checking out. Art it ain't though. Tacky and (intentionally) funny. Just don't expect logic.
