 Strangleland October 10, 2008
Strangeland should have been called strange movie, because it is really quite odd. Dee Snider, or Twisted Sister, decides to become an actor, and is cast as only he can be cast, as a lunatic. He tortures naked people and fanatsizes about death. It's set in Colorado, but he reminds me of people I knew when I lived in Wisconsin.
The movie is graphic and portrays death and occult in a way that is neither scary or really very entertaining, until Dee (Carlton) goes through rehab and is released back into society. Then it gets entertaining. The guy who played Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street) is a drunk redneck (who also should have lived in Wisconsin), and some loud mouthed Bible thumping woman call for "justice." They collaborate with several others to take Carlton out and hang him, but the branch breaks. Because his meds have already been driven over, he reverts back to the monster who gets off on torturing naked people.
But now the tables are tuned and he takes Freddy Krueger and Bible thumper, strips them and places metal hooks in them, suspending them from various devices in his torture chamber.
But in the end the good cop saves the day and kills Carlton, the end of a bizarre crime spree and the end of a bizarre movie. It is mildly entertaining, though chock full of bad acting.
decent thriller for the internet era April 2, 2008

This is a decent movie for the internet era. It focuses on, an internet stalker, who goes after mainly teenage girls. Unlike the typical masked killers, Dee Snyder plays a gothic tatooed&pierced ritualistic slasher. The plot revolves around a police detective's daughter (and her friend) that go missing, after they unknowingly chat online with the killer. The movie follows the detective's race against time to find his daughter, and save her from the terror that the killer has in store for her.

Well, they got the title right! This is the strangest movie I've ever watched. It wasn't scary, but just plain weird. If you're looking for movies for Halloween, don't waste your money. If you're in to s&m and pain, then go for it!
Okay, no more piercings for me! September 23, 2007

Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister created and starred in this horror film. It is about a serial piercer and torturer whose on-line name is Capt'n Howdy. Briefly he meets teenagers in an on-line chat-room and invites them to party at his place. He then tortures them through piercings. He pierces things I never thought were possible! I decided to stop with my navel after seeing this! He gets caught by a somewhat lame cop. Lame, I say because he enters the twisted guy's house with no back-up, you can guess what happens. Capt'n Howdy serves one year in a regular jail and about 3 years in a mental institution. He comes out supposedly A-okay, but a bit nerdy and all his piercings and tatoos magically gone! He returns to his house, told to take his meds and he'll be okay. Well the town's people want revenge on him and the fun begins... You really get a feeling for the mind of a dark and twisted serial killer. However in this film, people get tortured and nobody gets killed, well, almost no one. There are some scenes that make you even feel sorry for Capt'n Howdy! I like horror films about serial killers, so this one interested me. Besides that Dee Snyder was in it. If you like heavy metal and Twisted Sister, you should like this one. It has its weaknesses with the plot, tatoos and piercings that go away and then reappear like magic and some bad acting, but overall it kept my interest, I was never bored and was on the edge of my seat the whole movie.
