This terrible horror film pretends to tell a moral about internet chat rooms, but really it's a cheap C grade slasher flick.

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.

It's a disturbing, hopeless, irredeemable series of images that will scar you if you wander into it unprepared.

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.
