Top CriticGood-humored gore, ably directed by Ernest Dickerson.

Top CriticA big, dumb Night of the Living Dead rip-off with demons that convince you that Pumpkinhead must have reproduced. Fun junk.

Between scenes of splattering gore in which severed heads literally roll across the floor, the movie has a good time spoofing itself and a gallery of mostly sleazy characters who confront a crew of blood-thirsty demons.

Top CriticBilly Zane's finest hour. Yeah, I know, that's depressing.

The problem here is clearly the script, with very little that is original and amusing.

Appallingly straightforward horror fare.

Next time out, let's hope it involves a story that can stand on its own, without having to be propped up by the Crypt Keeper's silly patter.

Top CriticThe movie isn't particularly well-paced, and I found it dull.
01/01/00
Good entertainment stretched to three times its natural length is rarely three times better, but bad entertainment dragged out that long will typically be three times worse.

Don't feel bad if you miss the first five minutes or have to leave for the last five because, not only are they completely expendable, but it's nothing you can't see every week in the comfort of your own living room.

There's still a lot of filler in this chiller.
