Calling Gil Grissom!!

This town must have the worst police department in the history of the world. Their entire plan to nail the bad guys: good cop, bad cop. How about fingerprints, blood traces, etc? Thisis the late 1980s, not 1842. This stuff existed, people.

Yeah, I know this is a podunk town in the middle of nowhere, so maybe they don't have....anything. However, this is a quadruple homicide involving a successful Hollywood Sfx guy. Wouldn't that draw at least *some* attention?

I know this is a crap movie, but this really bothered me. That, and the fact that the BK window person didn't give Linda Blair any straws for their drinks.

Yeah, it wasn't like there wasn't all kinds of blatant evidence against the punks at the various murder scenes in and near the house.

But it wasn't a podunk town in the conventional sense since the village was on Big Bear Lake (shot in Fawnskin). As you probably know, Big Bear is a hot nearby getaway for everyone in the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles Basin, including VIPs. In other words, it wasn't exactly Nowheresville.
