I'm not as good as Michael Fleischmann at writing without giving away the story. So I'll simply say, after you watch this movie, the more you ponder the more you laugh. I'm a huge fan of Richard Elfman and I've never been dissapointed.

Inspired by their favorite comic book heroes, young Tommy and his pals take it upon themselves to clean up their menacing neighborhood by busting the local street punks. But the three youths run into big trouble for all their good intentions-big trouble in the form of Big Mo (Meg Foster in a campy cigar chomping, not-to-be-missed performance), the local crime boss and all around bully. Bully indeed! Mo wastes no time in wasting the trio of irritating do-gooders.
But hold on! All is not lost-just smaller. To the rescue comes Mr. Sumatra, a retired (but still practicing) voodoo specialist who revives the three boys with a healthy dose of mumbo-jumbo. Empowered beyond their wildest dreams, the shrunken trio "head on out" to take on Big Mo and her boys in a revved up action sequence featuring state-of-the-art special effects!
So stand back and let the little guys go...you won't be disappointed. This was Full Moon's first theatrical release. Get it before it is out of stock.

This turned out to be a lot more of a comedy than a horror film. Seeing shrunken heads flying around was pretty unique and cool-looking but a lot more funny than scary. That's okay; I enjoyed it as a comedy.

There really wasn't much to this Grade B-horror flick expect a lot of voodoo nonsense, which was taken quite seriously in here. What a croc! Whatever, it's still fun to watch. and it's always satisfying to see a bunch of punks get what's coming to them as our headless heroes do to them n here, seeking revenge on those responsible for their odd condition.

Talk about an original story! Fun stuff and I just wish someone would put this out on a Region 1 DVD. We'll all have shrunken heads by the time this ever comes out on disc!
