Customer Reviews
THE definition of "Campy Horror"...LOVE it...
It's always great when a movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and this one never does, which makes it quite charming and appealing. The hits just keep on coming through the formulaic story, but the perfection of the photography, the location and the chemistry of the actors make this one for the "classics" library. Enjoy!
Classic!
It's worth watching just for the ending alone!
Hate it
It's garbage
