Viewing Notes
It had been MANY years since I’ve last seen this, and then it was not the extended edition from Germany. While I really enjoyed the movie, I don’t really see what was so “extended” about it. The deaths, for the most part, were not too impressive or graphic. At one point it switches to German audio for a scene and, fitting in with that country’s odd perversions, it’s a scene with Hoax sniffing panties. Heh.
Stephen Geoffreys is wonderful and his transformation through the flick is sweet as hell. Damn shame that he didn’t stick with genre stuff - either horror or sex comedies like Fraternity Vacation - and, instead, made the jump into gay porn. Oh well…
