Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DVD?
With all the cheese and B rated trash being released on DVD, why not get the ball rolling on releasing good films like this one? When I was a teenager I must have watched this movie at least 25 times on my old VCR and to this day it still affects me like it did back then.
