Viewing Notes

First time viewing for me, Mike had seen it years ago.  I hadn’t even heard of this movie until this year - and only watched it because it is on the Cult Classics list here at MovieLogr.  It is a gross and creepy film.  Similar to Suburbia in the use of shocking concepts just for shock value.  Pretty fun to see the outfits, hairstyles, and cars from back in the day.
