Amazing. Simply fucking amazing. Such legends as Tom Smothers, Carol Kane, Paul Reubens, Eve Arden, and others in a single film. And it’s such wretched piece of trash.
Pandemonium (1982) is the movie. Presenting as a horror film spoof in which a cheerleader’s camp has a history of being stalked by a killer, and upon its reopening it’s being stalked again, the movie never even nearly jells. Between constant juvenilia, even in the sex scenes, and much very dated humor, its main connection with horror today is the morbid fascination with which we watched, wondering just how terrible it could get.
We finished it. This should not be taken as a commendation, but more of a commentary on our disbelief at just how bad this got.
And why does Carol Kane’s eyes beam lasers?
Don’t take that as a challenge. Really.
