This IS a decent horror flick(B-grade) *spoilers*


This movie is very watchable. The biggest thing it has going for it is atmosphere. In several scenes, it created genuine scary atmostphere, something almost totally lacking in today's horror movies. The fangs were the biggest problem for me. If they had come up with something different that looked more like real teeth for the fangs, I would have little to complain about for a B-grade horror movie. They looked like the plastic fangs kids get at halloween time. The music was quite eerie in some parts and very effective. The main character "Mark" played by Greg Braddock did very well and could have made a career as an Elvis impersonator. I was surprised he was not listed as doing any other movies on IMDB. That was a shame as his acting was very decent. The only other major complaint is the editing was terrible, but if you like a good very low budget horror movie with genuine atmosphere, then check this one out.

I enjoyed the movie as well. It was very short so it didn't seem like it dragged on at any moment. It cut right to the chase and wasted no time. I'm surprised it has such a low rating. It probably does just because it feels like a product of it's time which is a horrible reason to dislike a movie in my opinion. That's part of the reason I like movies from the 1970s because I temporarily get to feel like I'm part of that place and time. But besides that great '70s drive-in feel it has a great story and a good atmosphere like you said so I like it.

I adore about 95 percent of what came out of the '70s – especially any film related to the horror genre – but I'm going to have to rank this with the remaining 5 percent.

This could have been a decent film had anyone cared, but instead we have bored, lifeless performers reciting their lines against a backdrop of goopy orange blood and cheap plastic fangs. It's not fun enough to rise to the level of "so bad it's good" in my opinion. It's just bad. 3/10 stars from me.
