    Dee Snider tortures teens (with needles, not by playing them cuts from the Twisted Sister reunion album). A shallow peek at modern primitive culture can't save this incompetent, rote shocker.

    Eh...

    Dee Snider is such a loser. This movie sucks.

    I was surprised by this one. At first I thought it would be cheesey, with Dee Snider and all. But it really turned out to be cool!

    I found it kinda funny really. Dee is great as a singer, but not as a script writer , producer. His acting wasn't half bad.

    Seems like it could actually happen

    Dee Snider is a sick bastard. This movie proves it, and I love every minute of it. Dark, Twisted, and full of Rock n Roll.

    Awesome movie. Saw it on the IFC channel. Great movie. Sewing the mouths shut, smart. I felt bad for him when the people wanted him dead. Wasn't really scary but gory. Seen it twice. Worth watching.

    I love this movie for the quotes. I always had a sense of humor and this brings out a lot of good laughs. Dee Snider plays a great internet stalker. I really enjoy the touch with the gloves on the keyboard. It gets cheesy on most parts, but it's entertaining. I'd describe it as ...( read more)a comedy Saw. The soundtrack is better than the movie, though.

    anyone who needs to see a retarded slasher movie to know that the internet gives people a chance to pretend is in need of a reality check.

    The story of a schizophrenic, sexual sadist who lures victims through the internet and forces them to submit to tribal rituals against their will. He inadvertently abducts the daughter of a police detective...and the chase is on.
