Strangeland (1998)

aka: Dee Snider's Strangeland

Dee Snider was lead singer of the band Twisted Sister; perhaps he still is, I don't know if they're together any more. He's a great showman and a superb vocalist. What Dee Snider isn't is an actor, and he’s most certainly not a script writer. The film is trite and lifeless. It tells a slightly different version of the idea Snider first used in a TS song in 1984. Howdy is a pervert with a fascination for young people. The song said "Stay away from captain Howdy." I say "Stay away from Strangeland."

1 there's a comic version as well if you're keen out of 5
