Schlock, low production values, and a sub grade-z script: hallmarks of your typical Ed Wood production. You know, several levels below "amateurish." On the same level with masterpieces like "Reefer Madness," "Jailbait," and "Robot Monster."

Or maybe a gorier version of William Castle with his pretentious gimmicks? At least "Mr. Sardonicus" was tongue-in-cheek. I think Zombie intended his magnum opus to be a spoof of the genre but it is so damned heavy-handed that it fails miserably.

Zombie should watch George Romero and/or Tobe Hooper flicks to see how this kind of thing is properly done.
