OK. It's conceded that this movie is very low budget, cheesy to the max, and just plain bad. However, it's still worth watching, as it's got the most entertaining film director's commentary I've ever heard in my life. In fact, I'd never watched a DVD with a film commentary before I watched this one. Because of this film, I now watch film commentaries religiously.
The film makers, who I think were drinking when they recorded the commentary, give spontaneous, unscripted, razor-sharp comments about the trials of independent film-making, ragging on some of their co-stars along the way. Some of their observations were so hilarious, it caused me to laugh until I had tears in my eyes. (SPOILER QUOTE FROM THE COMMENTARY: "An independent film is like a piece of poop.") If you're familiar with MST3K or Mike Nelson's Rifftrax, it's basically what the film makers did -- they riffed their own movie.
Their commentary raises this from a bad, cheesy, low-budget horror film to one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen. Rating this movie a 1 star for horror and a 10 star for commentary, I give it a composite score of 6 stars, because the commentary really is that entertaining.
