It's been a while since I saw this atrocity, but as I've recently reviewed the previous 7 movies, I thought it be fitting to include this one to the lot also, even though I discarded my DVD-copy of it after the first viewing, vowing to myself to never lay eyes on it again, and decide it "does not exist" in real life, like a bad memory or trauma that should not be revisited.

It's somewhat enjoyable, but far from a masterpiece.
