Viewing Notes
This feels like a regional horror flick. It probably is but I don’t feel like looking it up. It’s rather dull up until the killer dons the crazy clown mask and starts killing people in the third act. It gets slightly interesting but goes into WTF territory ending with a chainsaw fight that should’ve been more exciting. Only notable thing is that William Sanderson is in this (and a young Yancy Butler but I didn’t see her).
Transfer on Prime is shit. This might’ve been more compelling if it looked better. Could totally see VinSyn releasing this and giving it the treatment, if they haven’t already. If nothing else, this is a perfect Code Red release, too.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they released this given that they just put out the director’s only other movie, SCHIZOID, on 4K no less.

A restoration and/or a new scan would improve this for sure but I cannot imagine this getting a 4K. Then again I never would’ve predicted the other 4K releases hahaha
