It was shortened by deleting some uncontentious plot. Added to the DPP list of video nasties in September 1984 and was dropped in June 1985 A shortened version was passed 18 without BBFC cuts for the 1987 CIC VHS The complete version was p assed 15 uncut in 2007 Summary Review: Un derrated slasher Four teenage friends spent the night in a carnival funhouse and are stalked by a deformed man in a Frankenstein mask. This is an effectively underrated slasher entry. One of it’s most impressive feats is that it gives us a nice carnival atmosphere with some interesting sights. The setting is the best thing about this, as great pains is taken to turn the early part into setup, and this does create a great atmosphere for later on in the film. This little gem has minimum bloodletting but its good, its better than good. It has a genuine sense of dread and a fear and paradoxically, an understanding of human vulnerability and mutation.
