Okay, I can see where this film's current 3.2/10 is coming from. It's cheap, it's got way too many perverted and LSD-looking sex scenes that just make you want to say "what the hell?" and it doesn't follow the original film at all. But all that aside, I really enjoyed this film. There's a lot to laugh at throughout. There are a number of talented Canadian actors and actresses featured, like Frank Pellegrino who also acted in the 1997 TV film 'Welcome to Dead House'. The soundtrack is catchy and gives the film a distinctive Eighties atmosphere. The giant rats look surprisingly realistic, not at all what I was expecting (hey, at least they weren't digital CGI or wiener dogs in rat suits like in the 1982 flick 'Deadly Eyes'!) The Ontario scenery looked really far out. All in all, this film has some flaws, but I think it deserves a much better rep. There is evident effort put into it, and you can't fault it for that. Anyway, the point of films isn't to find some artistic vision, it's to watch them and have fun doing it, and this film is a lot of fun to watch.
