I was unprepared for how bad this film was going to be. Lance Henriksen, whom I consider to be a good actor, is on autopilot here, and Brion James seems to be aiming to make his murderer character as annoying as possible. The directing is standard, though not without a few good touches, but the writing is horrible. The Horror Show is a string of silly scenes, one after the other, that are astounding in their stupidity. By the end of the film, I was actually hoping they'd go for the cliche and make the whole damn movie a dream. No such luck. It's no wonder one of the writers took his/her name off of this piece of drek.
