to me the entire unexpected full-on garishness of the ending is what I found freaky. the gender-bending aspect was not what scared me. that look on her face ant the general horrific ambience of that final scene is what I found pretty disturbing.

This film is filled with lots of high weirdness. The mother's peculiar dialogue, the plethora of too-tight too-short shorts of the male characters, the unstopping stream of profanity from children, the homoerotic subtext, creepy pedophiles, and not the least the shocking images of the ending. If you had told me immediately afterward that this was a lost John Waters film, I would have believed it.

I laughed the hardest though at the police officer's mustache  TeddyR TeddyR TeddyR Certainly it was the most unconvincing mustache in the entire history of cinema.

I did notice that the camp owner was the hunter from the beginning of Just Before Dawn, who actually got away in that one.

Did you notice when the police officer comes back out the door the mustache looks like it's halfway off?  BounceGiggle
And yeah, the camp owner is Mike Kellin from JBD. Noticed that too.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
