Well, I'm giving this a six. Just chuckles mostly and the weakest of this year's VODs. Not that is still wasn't fun...and Tanya Roberts.

Finally watched it tonight, only a few smiles and a few mild chuckles.  Have to give it a 5.

This might be the weakest of all the VODs.  Just don't think the movie had enough material to work with, on the surface you think it would but it was a lot of the same stuff over and over.

I'd say it was quite decent, and some good laughs, but I think I'm a little conflicted about it. I'm glad they riffed it, but at the same time I think this is a really underrated horror film and there doesn't seem to be much "riffing bait" to it. :/

Funny how this is considered such a bad film, yet great movies like RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK are so much funnier to mock.

Just shows that something being bad doesn't naturally mean it can be made funny.

Also that mocking isn't always funny, they usually don't mock the good movies, but make jokes about the situations in them, that is usually better material.

I needs to be the right kind of movie, good or bad, in order to get a funny commentary.  Seems like this one just didn't have the right fuel.

I"m agreeing with the above. The movie does make a difference and it rarely has to do with "quality" or lack of. Though I would contend that bad movies in general give more goodies to our riffers.

I gave it a 5, my lowest raiting to date I think. I just didn't care for it at all. The fact that I hated the movie didn't help. There are bad movies, and then there are movies like this and Bloody Pit of Horror that I just can't stand to watch.

Sorry, this gets my lowest rating ever:  Seven thumbs up.

I gave it a 2.  The riffs weren't that funny and the movie was just dreary.  It was probably hampered by the fact that I mostly dislike horror movies to begin with.

A slight passing grade. I can't give a flunking grade to anything that includes a riff that references 'Today's Special'. I had no idea that show aired outside of Canada.

I loved that show.  I watched it all the time when I was a kid growing up here in the States.

Judging from the rankings here this might be the least liked VOD of all time.

Which is odd. It wasn't a great RT by any means but still a worthy effort.

I actually really enjoyed this one.  Maybe not their strongest, but I think I found the movie fun enough and enough good riffs to make it a fun watch.  I gave it an 8.  Maybe I was just in the mood and it won't hold up in rewatching, but I liked it.
