Also this has a great payoff for an ending. It’s a simple movie that has effective thrills and scares that will make anyone nervous. I wont spoil the rest of the movie but its great. They try to kill Howdy by hanging him from a tree, his near death brings back the crazy Captain Howdy and now its time for revenge. Of course the towns people won’t let what he did go easily and take the law into their own hands. The institution reveals Howdy has a bad case of Schizophrenia and a severe chemical imbalance, though as long as he takes his medication he can re-enter society. After arresting Howdy, he is found not guilty due to mental illness and spends four years in a mental institution. Of course he leads them to the wrong address, but Michael due to his skill as a detective finds Howdy and lots of victims, including Genevieve. It works and they end up getting an instant message from Howdy, inviting them to a party at his house. Captain Howdy however was in the next room without them knowing, experiencing the small death sensations of body suspension.Ĭoming up empty Michael decides to go back to Plan A, which is to go in the chatroom and lure Howdy out. Michael and his partner Steve Christian go and check out the club but come up with no leads. Matt informs Michael of a club where all the underground alternative people, mingle and meet.
How gaining control over your body means nothing can hurt you. The tow truck employee Matt Myers, who is played amazingly by genre genius Robert LaSardo (Hard To Kill, King Of New York, Wishmaster) tells him about the subculture of body modification. The car is revealed to be Tiana’s car and they find her body in the car with her mouth sewn shut and pierced. Michael gets a call that they found a car in a pond. They discover that Genevieve last talked to a user named Captain Howdy. Michael’s niece Angela(Amy Smart) reveals to her uncle, that Genevieve got her kicks from talking to strangers on the internet. Her father, police detective Michael Gage starts frantically looking for his daughter, but has no clue where to start. Once getting there, they realize it’s a trap and they go missing. He lures 15-year-old Genevieve Gage(Linda Cardellini of Scooby Doo fame) and her friend Tiana Moore to a party at his house. This movie is about a psychopath named Carlton Hendricks (Dee Snider of Twisted Sister), who goes under the chatroom name ‘Captain Howdy’. A time where we warned our kids “ Be careful who you talk to on the internet” and gave them advice not to meet someone from a chatroom. This movie is really intense, it also came out around the time that AOL was big. This horror movie deals with imagery of body modification, piercings and the underground subculture of alternative lifestyles. The movie I am reviewing tonight is simply called Dee Snider’s Strangeland. Before the term ‘ torture-porn‘ was a genre era… Before Saw, Hostel and other torture movies became a thing, there was an under-rated movie that came out of nowhere. In the age we live in now, it’s very hard to come up with original ideas, ideas that haven’t been thought up before. There are movies that come along every few years that have something special, something original and exciting.
