Featured review
Yes, this movie is bad. Badly directed, acted and produced, but it is bad like Troll 2 bad. A movie that should be on the top 25 worst movies of all time, but in some odd way is is a great movie.
The movie lacks a plot, except the fact that Wilson Creek is a town that families bring their kids to when they no longer want them. The town folk kill them off, and then the parents leave. The movie really doesn't revolve around this concept except that the town people are trying to kill the 4 main teens.
The movie has some really bad, but funny moments, and some really funny moments. The blood and gore aren't existent, and there's really nobody dying aside from an infant, a teen girl, and some of the elder townspeople. Pons Maar (Ben Benziger) added a lot of comedy with his natural ability to be goofy. His character teamed up with Jennifer Darling (Barbara Benziger) make a great and entertaining duo.
The teens played by Matt Borlenghi (Brent), Kevin Kay (Larry), Bridgett (Riley weston) and Roseanne (Jeanne Sapienza) add their own little bit of interest to the mix. Their acting is bad, but for some odd reason it I excused it. The scenes with these actors were so abnormally bad, and some of the camera shots were completely unnecessary, that it added a loot of nostalgic humor to the movie.
The ending of the movie made no sense at all, well it made sense, but it wan't a plausible ending at all. It's like nothing at all happened. One bright spot, however, was the character played by George "Buck" Flower, who always nails his roles. By far one of the best character actors of all time.
I would recommend this movie for lovers of cheesy 80's horror. Some day hopefully it will be released on DVD with extras. In my opinion, it's a forgotten gem- much like Don't Go In The Woods... Alone, Evil laugh, The Forest, and Woodchipper Massacre, which all recently got a DVD SE release.
