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, Rovi

Great cast Great plot This was a great movie very dark and twisted the reason it was good is because of the fear it will set in your head because you can honestly say this type of thing is happening everyday people being abducted and kidnapped because they met a so called friend on the net great movie for all fans of gore as well as fans of drama

I didn't expect much from this movie and thought I would be turning it off during the movie. I was quite surprised that it kept my interest. There was an appearance by Robert Englund and some Freddy quotes. Some phrases from the Captain Howdy song from Twisted Sister in the dialogue. See it.

Great little horror movie! I first saw it when it became available for rent and so I watch it again from time to time. I think it has an important message regarding what happens when the meeting of people online turns into reality. How many young women and men have gotten in over their heads by agreeing to meet someone from a chat room. All of that aside, Dee Snider makes a great villain. Not sure if he is creepier as "Captain Howdy" or the reformed Carleton Hendricks. I think he had a lot of fun in front of the camer. This is a must see for all horror fans.
