This movie was so bad it passed bad-good and went back to bad and then back to good again in a purely laughable horrifying way. People spent their precious time making this movie! Someone, at one point in time thought this was a good idea.
It is like an after school special with gratuitious rape scenes and moral overtones! It kept suprising me by being more family morals cliche every second but then this poor woman just kept having her clothing being ripped off. What target audience were they shooting for?

I know I should not even be giving this a second thought.
But if you like to watch bad movies, I would recommend this one because it was so mystifying to me!

I hear ya, I saw this movie randomly on cable one night a long time ago and it was just one of those movies that just stuck in my memory for some dumb reason. It isn't the worst movie ever,(see "Balance of Power")but it sucks enough to be comical nontheless.

Saw this last week on Zone Horror in the UK but didnt stay up for the ending

Too bad 4 u. The ending was worth wading thru the bad acting and ridiculous plot. BTW how funny was it that Skull was afraid of the dark?? Wahhhhhhhhh

This film is a great exploitation flick but the ending is lame, other than that it rocks :)

Any film that has a guy taking on a bunch of baddies with a bow and arrow while wearing a shovel as a mask is a hit to me looool. Its defo one of them so bad its good type of films.

I finally saw it last night on The Horror Channel. It's the badness that makes it good.

It is a really good / bad film. With a bigger budget this could have been awesome

If it had a bigger budget, there would have been someone standing around, saying things like..."OK, I think we've ripped this woman's clothes off enough time", "Well, it is imaginative, but I don't think the audience is going to buy body armour complete with a face-mask made of a shovel", and "I know the villain needs a fatal flaw but...fear of the dark???".

...and we would have had a much less..."entertaining" movie.

Apparently, dogs are wolves with Williams-Beuren Syndrome.
