    Snider's Captain Howdy is an appropriately scary creation, but the movie mostly lets him down.

  • Anthony Miele, Film Threat

    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.

    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.
