I am in absolute awe of this corker of a experiment in SOV creation. Reaching a zenith in aspects as cringe inducing over-acting(most notably the lead who even mugs ferociously to the screen as he spouts off dialects about ruling the world and such in a German accent I could make out). Editing most definitely as you can tell they couldn't afford to show the titular weapon being plunged into the lead actor's victims or else they left it on the cutting room floor.I totally agree with another reviewer's comment of it being an SNL skit put to film length,except without SNL's comedic timing.It definitely drags at times spending more time on pointless dialog than action.Overly silly as well as some of the humor seems a little too juvenile for my tastes. It's an incredible feat to have a product this astonishingly awful to actually be seen and releases by somebody,but hey there's people out there who are in for more of an experience than an actual film,as this movie exceeds admirably in.Those who enjoy sheer surrealness and mind numbing banality in cinema climb aboard this horrific train.

I remembered this awful movie I bought at Camelot music store in the summer of 1989 when I was visiting my Grandparents. It was a time when I had just discovered movies like Re-Animator, From Beyond, The Return of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead. I was ready for all the horror/gore genre had to offer.... or so I thought! I was only about 12 years old at the time so I really don't remember it all that well. I remember a psycho running around with a corkscrew killing people, and a couple of cops (I think) who were riding in a car that wasn't actually moving, but being rocked side to side to look like it was... true cinemagic. I also remember it being the worst film I had ever seen up to that point and I promptly threw it in the garbage.Something tonight made me think of that movie (I can't believe I actually remembered the name), so I jumped on imdb to see if it was listed. To my surprise... IT WAS! And a full other 5 people have seen it.... Amazing. Even though I remember hating the film at the time I sort of wish I had kept it hidden away somewhere because I'd love to check it out again for a laugh (it would probably make a good drinking game movie). Anyway, I'm glad I'm part of the elite few that's seen this little "treasure". I would love to pick it up somewhere for a couple of bucks.... but beware, this is not a recommendation... it is awful... it's just for nostalgia.

This movie is possibly one of the most creative works of horror ever. It has everything you could want... suspense, drama, comedy, confusing subplots, native americans, brain eating... If you're looking for the be-all, end-all of brainsucking movies, look no further. The story of a man, bent on revenge. And how better to get it? "I know, I'll suck out their brains!" With great sound effects, and impressive special effects, I can't recommend this movie enough.

The worst film ever made, bar none. Give yourself a pat on the back if you can possibly sit through every excruciatingly painful minute of it. Except for the bit where the hard-luck loser turned deranged psychopath from forced medical experimentation pours his pea soup on the doctor's head and laughs like any good raving lunatic should...that's all.
