It's been a long time since I've seen "Children Shouldn't Play with
Dead Things". One of the favorite movies of my younger sister who
describes herself as a Connoisseur of Crap.

I howled with laughter the first time I saw it, but I couldn't tell if
the filmmakers were intending it to be comedy, if some of the actors
were camping it up, or if it was funny by sheer crushing weight of its
intrinsic incompetence. I'm still not sure.
