Full disclosure.....I like crap movies. I grew up in the 70's and 80's where crap movies ruled, and believe me I have seen some crap movies.

They decide to watch the video which is something they will soon regret. This movie was recommended by our mate John, so we sat and gave it a watch. When i was told about this movie, the first thing that poppe
