    It is amazing that the old horror movies stand up so much better than this new crop of VOD offerings. Even the effects on Chuckie or the Puppet Master look so much better to my eyes than the varying height tree with tentacles. Thanks for the review Snob!

      Two things I think always contribute - don't be SO on-the-nose with the camp. Older films are also shot on film which DOES help the overall production value and the way it feels. The practical effects help as a bad practical effect always looks better than terrible Syfy CGI, and also I think that 80s B-movies overall just nailed the right balance of cheesy and actual tension and style that complimented and grounded the most outlandish horror elements in a way that modern indie horror flicks don't really nail.

I have to say, if it weren't for the padding with all these uninteresting and dull characters, this would've been in the category of being so bad, its good. But as it stands, this looks like the kind of movie you'd only watch so you can fas forward to the Killer Tree parts, as those were a real delight.
