I am not, however, backing down on 2001 Maniacs. It's nothing more than a comedy. Granted it has blood, guts, and gore, but there was nothing remotely scary about this movie. (Of course, you will say the same thing about some of the movies I find scary! :) ) The redneck, backwoodsy humor got old after about 10 minutes. If that kid and his sheep ran through one more scene...I would have thrown something at the TV!!! I did like Robert Englund in it, even though he was one of the most over-the-top characters. And I did like the ending. It didn't go out the way a lot of horror movies (excuse me, comedies) do. I stand by my initial rating of 3 and the caveat of it being overly generous.

Of the four movies I rated, Creep and Satan's Little Helper were the two I actually liked best. I know that doesn't show in the ratings, but I'm new at this. ;)
Just out of curiosity... have you seen 2000 Maniacs?
