Apparently it was pretty damn easy to make a movie in the seventies. I say this because if this so-called film is any indication, then any shlub with a film camera could crank out a supposed horror film. This film has a lot in common with the 90s backyard horror film boom thanks to the ease of video cameras. Like those weekend quickies, this film is dull, slow, cheap, and extremely forgettable.

Three girls are headed to Vegas to become showgirls, when their car breaks down on the side of a lonely road in the middle of the desert. They are worried they won't make it into Nevada in time, when who should happen along but a nice looking young man named Andre (played with a side of ham by genre stalwart Andrew Prine). He offers the girls a ride to his farm, where they can use his phone and call for a tow truck or something. They agree, seeing light at the end of the tunnel, and hop into his car. When they get to his place, he tells them to wait outside for a minute and he disappears into his house. They get bored and start to wander around, eventually finding a barn. They wander inside and find, to their amazement, a whole bunch of young and not-so-young women tied to the walls with chains. Before they have a chance to react, Andre shows up and forces the girls to join his collection. It turns out Andre is crazy and he is planning to make a circus (???) with the help of the girls. He goes about training them by making them walk around in circles and raise their arms up and down while he whips them. He also keeps a cougar or something like that in a cage, and uses it to torture the girls that misbehave, or try to escape. There is also a mutant freak wandering around the property that might or might not be Andre's dad, and he ends up killing lots of the girls.

One day, Andre begins to think that one of the girls is his long-lost mother, and she is treated nicer than the others, which allows her to get free and help her friends escape, but it ultimately ends very badly. Meanwhile, the manager of the three girls back in Vegas is getting worried. He sets the cops loose, and when they find nothing, he goes out on the road and starts looking for them himself. He eventually teams up with a local Sheriff, and they stumble onto the barn. There they find the remains of the final act, which involved the letting loose of the mutant dad. I'd go into more detail, but I think I'm making this movie sound more interesting than it really is.

I have to admit something to you, I fell asleep during this movie...A LOT! But, in fairness to you and the code of the bad movie samurai, I rewound until I remembered what was happening again. But if I wasn't planning to review it, I wouldn't have even bothered to rewind. Those kind of movies are rare. The ones that are so lame and uninteresting you could care less if you understand what the hell is going on. You can walk out of the room and come back twenty minutes later and not give a rats ass who died or why. This is that kind of movie. In better hands, it could have been a solid scare flick, but given the cheapness of it and dullness in the way the story is told, this one is at best forgettable, and at worst a waste of money.
