Stupid 80's slasher with it's most memorable moments coming at the climax when the killer, Farmer Vincent, goes uber-nutso and decides that sticking a pigs head over his own and challenging his brother to a chainsaw duel would be a nifty idea. Beulah Ballbricker from PORKY'S plays Vincents partner in crime which brings to mind the antics of CRAZY FAT ETHEL. The metal/punk band (Ivan & The Terribles) look great with their fake beards but we never get to see them play. There's also a couple of S & M fetish freaks which just tip the scales into ridiculousness. The whole thing comes off as kind of a spoof of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE since in the 80's, it seems, people couldn't do anything serious without winking at the audience and including stupid jokes in anything horror related.
I've never seen this one myself, but always wondered about it. Looks like a good one to save for horror movie beer pong.
ReplyDeleteHorror movie beer pong?? What are the rules and where do I sign up?
ReplyDeleteIt's not a terrible movie just silly enough to not be a very good movie.
The perfect kind of silly!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it's an official game, but Horror Movie Beer Pong was inspired by the Friday the 13th remake wherein they play a short game beer pong. Ever since then, when some of my fellow horror hounds and I get together for a fright night we take turns everytime someone dies. It's pretty fun for medium-gory movies and downright suicidal for the more intense thriller-killers.
I think I put everything about the remake out of my mind, except for the boobs.
