It's sad, really, that a movie deemed horrific enough to be banned in several countries 25 years ago seems almost naïve by today's standards.

Cheesy, campy, corny, and violent. In other words, a rather fun little B-movie.

Alice Cooper sang the title song, which never hurts, but this movie is beyond saving.

An allegory in which the subtext out-bullhorns the text itself.
