Viewing Notes
Regardless of my rating this repertory screening (of a restored 2K print) of a lost ‘70s straight-to-video train wreck was a lot of fun. So much hubris was involved in the making of this film that you can’t help but marvel at it. Chock full of terrible acting, plot holes, weird editing choices and more, it’s fun to laugh at now, but given that it was almost certainly made with sincerity, I felt a little guilty in mocking it.
