March 25, 2011Strangeland written by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame is a fairly interesting horror flick. The premise is a predator played by Snider and nicknamed Captain Howdy who scours internet chat room for teens that he invites to a party so he can torture them in Sadomasochistic ways... read more

August 6, 2009Dee Snider tortures teens (with needles, not by playing them cuts from the Twisted Sister reunion album). A shallow peek at modern primitive culture can't save this incompetent, rote shocker.

August 21, 2011Although Dee Snider played an excellent and suitable character for the movie, it wasn't as good or "scary" as I thought it would be. There were a few parts here and there that were frightening\disturbing, but they weren't good enough to save the films poor acting and dull directing.

March 29, 2009A twisted, sadistic, disturbing movie about the dangers of internet chatting with strangers. Dee Snyder does a surprisingly good turn as Capt. Howdy, an internet predator. A little reminiscent of A Clockwork Orange with the reformed Howdy turned loose on a public that can't/won... read more

August 2, 2007One of the first torture horror I had seen but it's only ok. Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister wrote, produced, and was the villian. Focuses on a internet predator in the earlier days and Snyder's character is way over the top. It was cool to see Linda Cardellini and Amy Smart in ea... read more

This terrible horror film pretends to tell a moral about internet chat rooms, but really it's a cheap C grade slasher flick.

Snider's Captain Howdy is an appropriately scary creation, but the movie mostly lets him down.

Anthony Miele, Film Threat
After the agonizing torture that was endured I can safely make the statement that Strangeland is now and will be the worst film of 1998. Full Review

Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
Painful to endure even by modern primitive standards, it's a freaky, funless wreck, intolerable in the extreme. Full Review

Twisted Sister's Dee Snider makes a movie -- a must-see, right? Wrong-o! Full Review

The kind of movie where you want to take a bath after watching. Full Review

Perhaps if I hadn't expected it to be so bad I might have approved of it less. Full Review
