Review:
I taped this excitedly because at the time this film was out of print and therefore rare and I'd heard it was creepy so I figured it must be good. Well it kept mainly to the plot of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" only of course not as good. A demented couple on an island who have three (thanks Sellmeagod) er "special" children get some visitors and well they sure aren't very hospitable. It was pretty tame despite being banned in parts of Australia and I found it highly boring. The plot is there, it could have done zounds more than it bothered to do, but it's not creepy, scary, gory, or interesting. The greatest part of the film is the art on the box, yet I made it to the end, so it's not terrible I suppose right?
