This film was originally going to be an adaptation of the Legend of Cropsy, an urban legend from some areas of upstate New York, but was altered when the creators found out The Burning was being made at the same time (The Horror Geek on YouTube covers both films pretty well). All things considered, this is a pretty good flick for a sudden overhaul, although it will feel like it misses slasher genre formula beats because this came out early in the genre's lifespan so the formula hadn't really established itself yet. But the story is good, this edition is packed with extras, and it's a classic and underrated 1980s horror flick. Definitely check it out.
This is such a good movie. There has been a few release of this on Blu-ray but in my opinion this one looks the best. They did a real nice job of putting the blues back in the film that some of the other Blu-ray versions did not have a lot of. Overall this is a great movie and I highly recommend this to any horror movie fan.
As is everything Vinegar Syndrome releases, this film is highly recommended to the collector of schlock cinema. Great extras and an incredible presentation. VS is the best out there.
