Notes
Wonderfully weird. Not quite a cover your eyes "horror" film, but a modest slasher movie with lots of blood. While a bit rough around the edges and a plot' that's shaky in spots, I got into it and appreciated it for what it was. I especially liked "pan." Maybe this will become a cult film. I hope so.
