User Review
This is definitely the most abnormal movie of Wes Craven, although not his best work, but definitely worthy of attention.

The beginning of the movie is very intriguing. You expect to see an extremely dark thriller with elements of psychedelics, and here you see a brutal comedy. As always Craven has a genre mix, but here is absolutely masterful. Some of his work has been strikingly lacking in self-irony, and here it largely saves the movie. Watching the whole affair is damn funny and scary at the same time.

The plot is a little strange. Despite the huge share of irony, the tension gradually decreases and in some places it still gets boring, especially the middle of the action sags a lot. But the damn drive-in performance keeps the tension up, making you watch the movie to the end.

Very pleasantly pleased with the technical component. By modern standards special effects look very artificial and thrashy (though then, in general, that too), but at the same time very cool and effective (the scene with the TV set is very memorable). In general, the movie has a special drive and wild energy, despite the average script.

Yes and more, the film is definitely recommended to fans of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, although they are from different operas, but in both films are terribly colorful and very similar main villains (and in both of them empathize with them somehow most of all). Mitch Pileggi is a very cool, funny villain.

In the end we have a terribly thrashy movie with an average script, but a very driving performance and a lot of self-irony. It's a shocker.
