December 4, 2010I remember seeing this when it came out. I was 16 at the time. The hippy movement was in full swing. This was so blisteringly impossible to watch again. Even my 13 year old son didn't want to finish it. And he likes all the 'Jason' movies!

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
A little heavy-handed with the message, this film still holds onto the brutality of the revenge style established in Born Losers. Full Review

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
You feel guilty liking this manipulative pulp, but it somehow grabs and holds onto you.

Jon Niccum, Lawrence Journal-World
A film so fascinatingly liberal it almost seems to exist in a different universe.
