| | A Freaky, Trippy, HORRIFYING movie | Rozz Williams 11/30/2007 | | Deathdream is a little known treasure (but is steadily gaining popularity on the cult movie circuit). Part of what makes this movie scary is the very real message it sends with regard to war. IF YOU WANT TO BE FROZEN IN ABSOLUTE TERROR, WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!! NOT FOR THE TIMID. |
