Quotes
Miss Purdah: [Chris is chained and Eldona is trying on outfits before him] Eldona, you know he's not supposed to see you this special day?
Chris Thorne: Special day? What is it--Halloween?

really unpleasant

Chase and Moore are on the way to Atlantic City when they suddenly get stopped for speeding in the middle of nowhere. They're sidetracked to a bizarre, backwater town (which is on the verge of decomposition) that's under the jurisdiction of a cantankerous judge who doesn't take too kindly to outsiders. Everything that can go wrong does, and they soon find themselves fighting for their lives to escape from the murky town as well as its creepy, amoral inhabitants. The cast may have had a good time making it, but all the hoopla and hubbub is for naught; this dreadful calamity has no laughs and repellent gross-out gags, thrown in with an unappealing story. Talented actors are wasted in this silly, nauseating, and practically unbearable "comedy." *
