"My name is Buck and I'm ready to fuck."
I found Judd the weakest of the characters (Roy was just plain bizarre, I did not get what his problem was at all), which is kind of bad, considering that he's the main character of this little slaughter fest. He was just so obviously a ...( read more)
Hooper's follow-up to "Chainsaw"-not as good,but Neville Brand's performance as Judd,the caretaker,is worth it.

Saw this when it came out. Was probably drunk when I saw it. Don't remember much. Do remember that naughty alligator. And a few swiped with a garden rake on the young lady. Other than that, I really need to see this again.
This was great. A horror gem that pretty much everyone has never heard of. Not to mention that Tarantino used the first line of this movie in his movie "Kill Bill Pt1". The beginning is well done with the girl whos set up as the good girl and you think shes the main character, bu...( read more)
