It's a disturbing, hopeless, irredeemable series of images that will scar you if you wander into it unprepared.
Top CriticThis terrible horror film pretends to tell a moral about internet chat rooms, but really it's a cheap C grade slasher flick.
a little too messy for me
Snider's Captain Howdy is an appropriately scary creation, but the movie mostly lets him down.
After the agonizing torture that was endured I can safely make the statement that Strangeland is now and will be the worst film of 1998.
Perhaps if I hadn't expected it to be so bad I might have approved of it less.
Entry into the realm of disappointing horror videos.
The kind of movie where you want to take a bath after watching.
Painful to endure even by modern primitive standards, it's a freaky, funless wreck, intolerable in the extreme.
Twisted Sister's Dee Snider makes a movie -- a must-see, right? Wrong-o!

worth seeing. Strangeland isn't a bad film, but considering the concept, it makes you wonder how much potential this flick really had.
