Re: 2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS
I loved Field of Screams... it was just like watching a horror comic on the big screen. Some inventive deaths, the first of which I can see perhaps having trouble with the censors... The later death with Scarlet and Val - did NOT see that coming! As I said in my review: "Completely politically ...

I've just watched Cameron Romero's Staunton Hill - which I think is the first movie to come close to TCM in terms of backwoods horror... it's better than a lot of dad George's output! So not to spoil it for anyone, you can click here for my complete thoughts.
