(1998) **A predatory freak lures teens to his house over the internet. He then tortures them by stripping them naked, sewing their mouths shut so they can't scream and piercing them in bizarre ritualistic ways. He is caught and put away and released 4 years later cured. He moves back to the same town where everyone hates him so they form a lynch mob to get rid of him. He miraculously lives and without his meds the cure is no more so he seeks revenge on the town folk who tried to kill him.
There are more holes in this film than I could count. There is no explanation in the passing of time other than the 4 years he spent locked up. You have to wonder how long it took him to assemble his torture chamber again and didn't any of the towns people get suspicious when he started buying rolls of wire, huge sewing needles and balls of twine. Not to mention welding the cages together and such. I don't completely find Dee Snider unacceptable as a villain but I do believe he was much scarier like this...
Then like this...
Not completely unwatchable but if you miss it, you won't be crying about it later.

I agree with your review and I believe I gave it the exact same ratings in a past Horrorthon. Bleech!
catfreeek, as with so many of your picks this year, just reading the review is sufficient creepy entertainment for me!
no matter what jpx does, at the very least catfreeek has earned the title "queen of horrorthon" for 2008.
Thanks AC, you're just too sweet.
All I can really remember about this movie is that I despised it.
What makes this movie ridiculous is that Dee's talky philosophy is all about the intensity of body piercing. Since you can pretty much get pierced at a kiosk in the mall now, I can't think of anything that's quite as laughably outdated.
