“Worth a cursory look for fans of Tim Thomerson and the late, great Brion James… Michael G. Kehoe’s cut n’ paste direction only intensifies the unshakeable feeling that the film is going through the motions.“

A credit to us all 👏 A legendary achievement! 👏
My @letterboxd.social 2025 review illustrates pretty clearly how I was (juuuuust barely) able to maintain my sanity last year: by watching over 100 David DeCoteau movies, a big chunk of which starred Vivica A. Fox. (Also kind of funny to know you can break the "Hours Watched" thing if you break 1k.)

RIP rockabilly hero and all-round B-movie renaissance man Johnny Legend.
A surname wholly befitting of his status!
Here’s Johnny meeting a sticky end in Schlock Pit fav CHILDREN OF THE CORN III: URBAN HARVEST (1995) — but one of many flicks that benefitted from his quirky cameo appearances.
