Title refers to the size of the piece of crap that this is.

Even watching this on a fuzzy VHS copy the opening scene was pretty damn grim. Luckily the dumb teens soon arrive featuring a cast/plot which smacks of a fun 'Scooby-Doo' vibe & the film has some suitably cheesy 80s paraphernalia & fashions.
However, ultimately it's all a bit meh. The incredibly dark & rough VHS image transfer can't of helped matters. The audio in particular is very poor on the version I watched. Even so despite the shortcomings of the audio/visual presentation there's no denying the fun to be had with the wooden acting!
The Count's Verdict: In desperate need of a DVD release to aid shoddy audio-visual presentation but no matter how good it looked or sounded this is a pretty silly and forgettable slasher.
-
Trashy in all the right ways, fun early 80's slasher.

Projected in 35mm as part of Exhumed Film's 24-Hour Horror Fest. Only a partial watch because I slept through most of it.

The world's most boring cult horror movie? There's not really much to see in the entire movie and the payoff is making me feel cheated that I watched the entire movie. Any other abomination/redneck/maniac in the woods movie will do. Rituals or Just Before Dawn are far superior.

Some kwality acting in this one.

Trashy 80s horror - cheap, generic and dull.
