I will grant that Dee Snider isn't going to win any acting awards...ever. That being said, this movie wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. It definitely could have been a lot better, but it tackles the whole "modern primitive shock value" horror genre niche pretty well. I'd recommend that someone watch it.

I nearly threw up watching this while tripping on mushrooms.

Infamous Mr. Twisted Sister Snider makes a less-than-Dee-lightful big-screen debut with this eponymous heavy-metal horror. Sort of an imagination-challenged _Hellraiser_ variation minus the latter's supernatural angle. Snider crams the screen with some legitimately squirm-inducing torture tableaux, but not even these crowd-pleasing, over-the-top terror elements can compensate for the film's sorry structure, countless lapses in basic genre-movie logic, and a plot stretched thinner than Snider

Snider actually has some charm and horror movie instinct but the plot is so messy nothing really works.

It is amazing! One of my favorites!

Captain Howdy is a sweet alias, you cannot deny this! Also, all women's should have their mouths sewn shut! ::shakes a fist::

Not so bad for what it is, one of those horror movies authored by a washed-up Hard-Rocker. A lot of it is corny but it contains some disturbing torture porn, which was not yet hip in 1998. Maybe if I re-watched it today it wouldn't seem as unusual but back when I did it was a guilty pleasure.
