Never heard of it, hows about a review and synopsies?:)

I like it....I think it's one that's often overlooked.

It's about this freakazoid named Luther who becomes obsessed with circus geeks, to the point where he has his own teeth replaced with specially designed razor sharp teeth and eschews language in favor of clucking sounds.  I think he is released from an insitution or prison and then commences to chomping into people's necks.  It ends up with him terrorizing a woman and her daughter, both trapped on their isolated farm.  Bizarre, somewhat comical, but deadly serious when it needs to be--I think what makes it work is the acting--the guy who plays Luther is totally convincing, as is the woman who plays the gutsy mom.   Why it doesn't have a better following I don't really know, other than than it didn't have Jason Voorhees or Freddy Kreuger in it, and those seemed to be the only horror films that got much attention during the late Eighties.

Never seen it, although I did download copies of Stacy Haiduk's nude scenes from it.

Ah yes, another plus that I forgot to mention.  See, this movie had it all!

Sounds like a movie I will have to check out. Thanks for the heads up.
