There are several more independent horror cheapies out there, including HIDEOUS!, which comes from a B-movie studio known as Full Moon Productions. Who has ever spoken such terrible dialogue??? The film sort of follows a classic B-movie plot from the 50s involving visitors in a "haunted mansion" run by a bearded guy who's always the perpetrating mastermind behind ghastly ghouls. Admit it! Movies produced on a low, low budget these days aren't as terrifying as they're supposed to, and not even the monsters are frightening. By 90s standards, it is terribly void of authentic chills that swept across drive-in movie screens of yesteryear, and concerns more on poor monster designs and lovely ladies (as usual). And yes, the beautiful Jacqueline Lovell looks great in a pair of hot pants and carrying an armed handgun. Pay more attention to her and you'll enjoy this. This is a "B" movie that simply spells b-a-d with a capital B! For a while, I thought the drive-in theater died along with the movies that played! Well, HIDEOUS! can go jump in the grave along with the rest of them, I guess.
