5/10
If the Goodies made a horror movie

Warning: Spoilers
Rednecks at their farmhouse in the sticks summon a samurai by killing a deer or something (that's the bit I didn't get). Then there is like a witch element where once the samurai spirit is dealt with by a simple single swing of an axe to the gut the witch that summoned it don's its outfit, takes its place and continues the murderous redneck rampage of knocking off family members. Hmmm, I think the writers were on dope.

There seemed to be a political angle too. I was hard to work out if it was an attempt at making anti-hunting or hunters themselves look bad because the message got so mixed up in all the gothic/classical backtracks and old school cellular colorful visual effects.

Things I really couldn't stand was when lines are being read verbatim, I wouldn't even call that acting. A little bit of acting enthusiasm would not have gone astray. There are plenty of other more entertaining 'B's that have similar IMDB scores as this one. Good for a laugh if you just start the movie at the midway point.

I want a remake with all the original footage and sound but with canned laughter added in where it just gets stupid. That would be great.
