Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Strangeland should have been called strange movie, because it is really quite odd. Dee Snider, or Twisted Sister, decides to become an actor, and is cast as only he can be cast, as a lunatic. He tortures naked people and fanatsizes about death. It's set in Colorado, but he reminds me of people I knew when I lived in Wisconsin.

The movie is graphic and portrays death and occult in a way that is neither scary or really very entertaining, until Dee (Carlton) goes through rehab and is released back into society. Then it gets entertaining. The guy who played Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street) is a drunk redneck (who also should have lived in Wisconsin), and some loud mouthed Bible thumping woman call for "justice." They collaborate with several others to take Carlton out and hang him, but the branch breaks. Because his meds have already been driven over, he reverts back to the monster who gets off on torturing naked people.

But now the tables are tuned and he takes Freddy Krueger and Bible thumper, strips them and places metal hooks in them, suspending them from various devices in his torture chamber.

But in the end the good cop saves the day and kills Carlton, the end of a bizarre crime spree and the end of a bizarre movie. It is mildly entertaining, though chock full of bad acting.

This is a decent movie for the internet era. It focuses on, an internet stalker, who goes after mainly teenage girls. Unlike the typical masked killers, Dee Snyder plays a gothic tatooed&pierced ritualistic slasher. The plot revolves around a police detective's daughter (and her friend) that go missing, after they unknowingly chat online with the killer. The movie follows the detective's race against time to find his daughter, and save her from the terror that the killer has in store for her.
