The summary says it all. With a cast of has-beens (Charlene Tilton? Stuart Pankin? Phyllis Diller? Rip Taylor? Larry Storch?) and people who should have known better (Billy Zane, Dom Irrera, and directors Mel Brooks, Joe Dante, John Carpenter, and John Landis), there isn't a single laugh in the entire movie, which contains some of the lamest, most revolting sight gags ever filmed. It's all well and good to spoof popular films like "Psycho" and "The Silence of the Lambs," but you have to at least attempt to make it a FUNNY spoof rather than simply referencing the film. Instead, Mr. Greggio names his hero Jo Dee Fostar and his villains Antonio Motel and Animal Cannibal Pizza. The "Psycho" scene, with Martin Balsam as Det. Martin Balsam (another indescribably unfunny reference) was bizarre and moronic. Did anyone seriously think this remotely resembled humor? Avoid this piece of garbage at all costs, lest you fancy being scarred for life.
