Caught this one on video. Writer/director/producer/star Ezio Gregio's 1994 spoof is actually worth a rent (with fast-forwarding) to catch Dom DeLuise's brief-but-delicious performance as Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza. The veteran comic actor is in top form. The rest of the movie is a patchwork rework of PSYCHO and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, with more than a little sifting through the files of POLICE SQUAD! Billy Zane stars as, ahem, FBI Agent Jo Dee Fostar. (And that's one of the better jokes!) With Larry Storch, Phyllis Diller, Rip Taylor, Bubba Smith, Martin Balsam, John Landis, Mel Brooks, John Astin, and Shelley Winters. Scary. Grade: D- Copyright 1995 by Michael J. Legeros
