Actually, everyone gives pretty good performances (especially Jessica--and the other two women). But it has the same problem severed-head movies always have: you're basically staring at a hairy bowling ball for an hour.

You never know what you'll find in a tray-sure chest.

I loved every moment with the severed head...and pretty much none of the rest of it. And the head doesn't have all that much screentime. And the ending was terrible.

Not the worst movie ever. But what's wrong with the ending. Make sure you don't blink because it ends that quickly

Could be something decent with better characters and more paranoia, but it's fairly dull as-is. Severed heads don't make good antagonists.

Compared to bad horror of the time, it's just average. It's still very, very bad though.

One of the movies I saw on "Creature Features" when I was about 12 years old that dissuaded me from watching "Creature Features"
