REVIEW
In this ugly, incredibly amateurish feature, former Twisted Sister lead singer Snider makes his writing and acting debut as a deranged "modern primitive" who kidnaps and tortures people to "free" them with body piercing and the like. He lures his victims by posing as a rad teen (his handle: Captain Howdy) in teen chat rooms on the internet. There's none of the over-the-top fun of the old Twisted Sister music videos on display here, just insipid horror. Though he plays it straight, the only thing Snider has to offer is a buffed bod. He should've spent less time at the gym and more at the typewriter. You Might Also Like
