Where to Watch

Orphaned siblings are terrorized by rednecks. Shannon Presby, Lori Loughlin. Dutra: James Spader. Gideon: John Philbin. Charlie: Eddie Jones. Moonie: David H. MacDonald. Joe Bob: Vincent Grant. Sean S. Cunningham directed.

More trash from producer-director Sean S. Cunningham, the slime force who initiated the "Friday the 13th" series. Loren (Shannon Presby) and Abby (Lori Loughlin) are a couple of nice kids who get some undesired flack from Dutra (James Spader) and his band of bullies. Of course, a little revenge is in order, but surprisingly Spader's comeuppance isn't all that bloody. It's not all that scary, either, making this psuedo-horror film largely a waste of time for even hard-core fans of the genre.
