A funny review of a funny film --
Thanks!!
The thing I recall most about this thing is where the very obvious puppet mutant "baby" is eating the guy's neck -- he has his hand up the inside of this obvious puppet, and is smacking himself in the face and neck with it, while he's screaming: "Get it off me!! Get it off me!!"
To this day, the wife and I will say to one another, when faced with something cheesy like a door-to-door pyramid salesman: "Get it off me!! Get it off me!!"

Great review of a good movie. I like the movie. I have seen all three parts. It just got weirder and weirder.
One thing I did not get is how did the brother rape the girl?
Also the messed up brother was about the size of a football, why didn't people just drop kick Belial?
This is a movie I must own.
Later,

Trash classic. Deserves more blobs imo. As welll as being an original monster film full of weirdness and gore, it is also one of the most tragic stories I've ever come across in a B-movie. I found it genuinely affecting, which is quite an achievment for a film of this ilk.
And the stop-frame animation was really effective I thought!
