Strangeland (1998)
2/10
Schlock-O!
1 February 1999
Films like this make me wish we could declare a moratorium on Hitchcock imitations! This a wretchedly boring, poorly made and insultingly stupid film in which Dee Snider stars as a "serial sadist" who picks up teens on the internet (though one of the teens looked to be in his 40s) and tortures them with forced piercings. For all the modern topics, it's really just a sixties psycho rip-off, so boringly shot it seems to be made by the "squares" Snider's Captain Howdy derides. Add to this some amazingly sloppy plotting-or has due process been suspended in Colorado, do they have a more lenient insanity plea than any other state, and is it customary for a police detective to investigate his own daughter's kidnapping there?
