Plot: Dee Snider, of the Twisted Sister heavy metal music group, made his debut as a screenwriter and producer with this horror film, directed by John Pieplow. A psycho on the Internet uses the handle, Captain Howdy (Snider), an obvious reference to the unseen Ouija board spirit in The Exorcist (1973). After the abduction of his daughter Genevieve (Linda Cardellini), detective Mike Gage (Kevin Gage) is on the case, joined by detective Christian (Brett Harrelson). Kidnapper Captain Howdy is eventually captured and sent off to the asylum. Released four years later, Howdy is hanged by a vigilante mob led by redneck Jackson Roth (Robert Englund). Reborn as Carleton Hendricks (Snider), Howdy turns against the vigilantes, kidnaps Genevieve a second time, and once again confronts Gage. Snider also contributes an original heavy-metal tune for the closing credits. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Dee Snider's Right On The Money!!!
Added 8/21/2009

Kevin Gage (LAID TO REST), Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), Dee Snider (WEIRD SISTER), Linda Cardellini (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN), Brett Harrelson (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2: TEXAS BLOOD MONEY) and Elizabeth Pena (JACOB'S LADDER) star in Dee Snider and John Pieplow's feature film; STRANGELAND. This film has torture, titties, pedophiles, hot girls and of course; Dee Snider & Robert Englund. Kevin Gage plays a detective looking for his daughter; Genevieve, played by Linda Cardellini. It turns out, Genevieve was kidnapped by a pedophile known as Captain Howdy, played by Dee Snider. After Howdy caught and arrested by Detective Gage, Howdy gets sent to prison and an asylum for 5 years. After his release, the town believes he is still evil at heart. Instead of Detective Gage trying to kill him, Jackson Roth (played by Robert Englund) tries to kill Captain Howdy. Dee Snider even inherited Freddy Krueger lines from Robert Englund in this movie. I give this movie a 5 out of 5 star rating.

lame land
Added 7/12/2009

Oh, the curse of being a Linda Cardellini fan. Movies about "alernative lifestyle" cowboys, massive animated dogs, and this clunker of clunkers. Extoll all you wish about the imagery and soundtrack (which having some musical taste- I found irritating), this movie is simply bad. There is no real "horror" and the characters do and say things that normal people wouldn't. I found this dog at a yard sale and bought it for the princely sum of a dollar, and even then I feel that I wasted my money.

Linda- for God's sake- do something worthwhile- not something that I feel I have to hide at the back of the DVD cabinet!

Strangleland
Added 10/10/2008

Strangeland should have been called strange movie, because it is really quite odd. Dee Snider, or Twisted Sister, decides to become an actor, and is cast as only he can be cast, as a lunatic. He tortures naked people and fanatsizes about death. It's set in Colorado, but he reminds me of people I knew when I lived in Wisconsin.

The movie is graphic and portrays death and occult in a way that is neither scary or really very entertaining, until Dee (Carlton) goes through rehab and is released back into society. Then it gets entertaining. The guy who played Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street) is a drunk redneck (who also should have lived in Wisconsin), and some loud mouthed Bible thumping woman call for "justice." They collaborate with several others to take Carlton out and hang him, but the branch breaks. Because his meds have already been driven over, he reverts back to the monster who gets off on torturing naked people.

But now the tables are tuned and he takes Freddy Krueger and Bible thumper, strips them and places metal hooks in them, suspending them from various devices in his torture chamber.

But in the end the good cop saves the day and kills Carlton, the end of a bizarre crime spree and the end of a bizarre movie. It is mildly entertaining, though chock full of bad acting.

decent thriller for the internet era
Added 4/2/2008

This is a decent movie for the internet era. It focuses on, an internet stalker, who goes after mainly teenage girls. Unlike the typical masked killers, Dee Snyder plays a gothic tatooed&pierced ritualistic slasher. The plot revolves around a police detective's daughter (and her friend) that go missing, after they unknowingly chat online with the killer. The movie follows the detective's race against time to find his daughter, and save her from the terror that the killer has in store for her.
