Viewing Notes
A no budget film from the guy who did the lighting in Evil Dead and starring Sam Raimi as a murderous, psycho hippy. You’d think for a movie that has as little of a budget as this does that it could fail spectacularly. But you know? It actually is pretty good. Not only are the actors pretty good, but the lines, the fights and story all sort of works.
Imagine if a group of vets came back to kill off Charlie Manson and his cronies after they attack their friends and you got this movie.
It was a blast seeing it at Terror Tuesday and people seemed to enjoy it as much as I did.
