Admittedly this film is far better than the sinister Rob Zombie junk. (sorry Rob fans)At least Snyder put some substance, plot, and decent action into this. Have to hand it to him: he's not a bad actor. Especially in a psychotic role; which some may accuse of him as being cliché'. However, it is Dee Snyder. He wouldn't unrealistically portray a warm, loving father. Keep it real. And while I was never a huge fan, nor follower of metal music, I loved Twisted Sister. And Dee Snyder is my all-time favorite. Here he almost brilliantly resurrects his Capt. Howdy personae. And featuring Robert Englund; a very noted actor, whom of course revolutionized horror movie history with his iconic Freddy Krueger. Here we are subject to an opposite, non-sinister role as Jack, much like Englund's nice-guy character Willie, from the classic V - TV series. Snyder obviously is an Englund fan (like the rest of us :) and deliberately cast him in this film, as honorary appearance. No doubt Englund is brilliant, and could easily pull off a crime-drama psychotic serial killer as well.Overall, a few sinister scenes do drag a bit, and lack some intensity. However, Snyder does pull this thing off, for the most part.

I absolutely LOVED this movie after watching it the first time I had to go buy it, I don't see why it doesn't have a better rating. The cast in this movie played their rolls to the fullest extent of spectacular especially Dee Snider, thought the movie plot was very realistic, makes you think twice about ever meeting anyone from online again because you never know who you're really talking to and the fact that he was completely "normal" after being put on medication then people went to get their revenge and crushed his meds in the process then he goes crazy again, goes to show how messed up in the head people can really be. Definitely worth more than a 4.9 rating. This is one of my top favorites! I always introduce this movie to someone I knew who has never saw it because I think it needs to be acknowledged by more people!! :)

I happened upon this movie on IFC at about 1 AM last night. And even though I had to get up at 4:30 the next day, I was somehow driven towards watching this movie, but not in a good way. I respect Dee Snider for writing it, and I assume from the movie that he wanted to bring body modification to the public eye while making a horror movie, but there are so many plot holes and unreasonable choices made by the characters that it ruins the movie. It's also not that gross or disturbing, but I can handle a lot of gore, personally. If your bored on a weekend night, you could rent this movie and watch it, but don't expect to put it on your "favorite movies" list.

Torture. Piercing. Branding. Carnage. If this excites you, this is the movie for you. Captain Howdy, an internet serial killer, invites kids to his house for "PARTIES" and he tortures them till they die, or w/e.I loved this movie for the simple fact that it was original. Well, in my case it was. I haven't seen other movies like it. It has awesome directing, great FX and above all, the best man to play the killer. Dee Snyder. This movie could have been better, but we as people have come to expect that not everything is going to be up to par. This movie is an exceptional piece of work. And to me it was far better than most movies I've ever watched. 10 of 10.
