I don't know where to start.
Starts as a comedy with over-the-top not-really-that-funny acting, cascades into a slasher still-not-really-that-funny horror comedy, with pointless scene changes and a mega-sized block of Swiss cheese plotholes.
Krakowski is a financial analyst (throw in some jokes about Czechs, that's always funny, right?) who, after buying a house, finds himself stalked by a local homeless vagrant.
Several people get murdered and Krakowski is blamed, especially when body parts are found in his fridge.
The jury finds him innocent after his mother dies of a heart attack on the witness stand. Yes, this is still part of the 'comedy' version.
He then moves away and ends up in a trailer park, where the blind owner's seeing-eye dog is butchered and he has to escape when he's blamed for it. Are you laughing yet?
While escaping, he rolls his car down an embankment to a truck stop where the 2 out-of-state cops who were chasing him (from weeks ago) just happen to be. They chase him into a funhouse where he discovers the vagrant is an ex-psychiatrist who's been trying to make him insane as part of an experiment.
The cops shoot the vagrant, and Krakowski gets a reward for the wanted criminal.
Produced by Mel Brooks, but apart from funding, I doubt he had much to do with it.
Directed by Chris Walas. If you replied "Who?", that's because this was only the second, and last movie he was allowed to direct. The other being another flop, The Fly 2. He was actually a make-up and SFX expert.
It was released in 8 theaters for a single week.
Starring:
Mildred Brion, as heart-attack dying mom. Previously in Back To Back (1989) with Paxton.
Teddy Wilson, as the blind trailer park owner. He co-starred in the short-lived black 70s sitcom "That's My Mama". He died before this movie was released.
Marc McClure, as his best friend Chuck. Marc was Jimmy Olsen in all the Superman movies in the 80s and Marty's brother Dave McFly in the Back To The Future movies.
Patrika Darbo, as Doattie, the trailer park neighbour. She had a small run on 'Days Of Our Lives'. 125 episodes over 18 years, which is a short run, comparatively, for the 13k+ episodes it's been going (the current lead role has only been in 3k).
Mitzi Kapture, as the girlfriend, starred in Silk Stalkings but probably better known as Alex Ryker from Baywatch.
Marshal Bell, as the vagrant. A method actor, he tormented Paxton during the shoot offset. He's been a support actor in many big films, such as Midnight Sting, Starship Troopers and Capote.
