Strangeland is a new horror/thriller from what some might consider an odd source.  Most will find it makes sense though.  A heavy metal musician, Dee Snider, former front man for the 80's band Twisted Sister, wrote and starred in Strangeland.  Strangeland is about a man who follows the path of Neo-Primitivism and wants to share his knowledge and foresight with less fortunate people.  The Neo-Primitive movement involves tribal scarring, painting, and body piercing.  Using the internet the villain draws in young people to his world and inducts them into the movement against their will.

Strangeland is a wonderful new addition to the landscape of the slasher film/mass murder sub-genre.  Without giving away plot, this description is both correct and incorrect. It has all of the ear marks of the sub-genre, but there are only two people who die.  The villain, Captain Howdy, is one of the best to come along since the horror man of your dreams (who's actor also happens to be in the film).  Captain Howdy is intelligent, articulate, and totally psychotic.  Strangeland is disturbing and brilliantly executed.
