![]() But now that I’m a parent, I feel nothing but scorn for Hendricks. Especially since the mob that tries to do away with him is composed of less than savory characters, for example Sunny the hypocritical Christian and drunken redneck Jackson (Robert Englund), who in one scene is shown watching a porno about what appears to be a teenage girl getting molested. I first saw Strangeland when I was a misanthropic fifteen-year-old, and back then I could feel a small amount of pity for the sane Hendricks, who’s a mopey nerd. However, what with the popularity of websites like Myspace and Facebook, where people can recreate themselves on a whim and befriend strangers, the situations presented are still very modern. (Not to mention Mike’s pager.)

One of the most striking things about the movie is that it’s terribly dated. Mike, who saw Hendricks get nabbed (and Hendricks saw that he saw) is once again targeted by a vengeful Howdy. Where he’s promptly snatched by an angry mob and hanged-and unfortunately doesn’t die. After four years in a mental hospital, Howdy (AKA Carleton Hendricks) is apparently cured, and allowed to go home. His latest prisoner, Genevieve (Linda Cardellini), happens to be the daughter of detective Mike (Kevin Gage), who catches Howdy. Then he tends to torture them, his rationale being that young people today need a rite of passage that must be physical, painful, and leave a mark. ‘The Elf’ is Off the Shelf in this New TrailerĪMC Fear Fest Schedule and Surprise New FilmĬast : Robert Englund, Dee Snider, Kevin GageĬaptain Howdy (Dee Snider) is a friendly guy who likes to meet teenagers in chatrooms and invite them to his house.
