Premise edit
The Red Baron returns in a toy plane to kill the former World War I flying ace that shot him down.
Reception edit
In 2005, Dread Central writer Jon Condit, as part of the site's column highlighting obscure films, panned the film and questioned the intention of producer Roger Corman, noting that it contained elements of horror, comedy and family films, but it does not consistently mix any of its genre elements:
The plot sounds straight out of a horror film, but the way it plays out – despite how nearly every joke falls flat with a resounding “thud” – is clearly meant to be humorous, and yet it’s often cartoonish nature brings to mind a direct-to-video family film, albeit one with more electrocutions, (bloodless) shooting deaths, and gratuitous obscenities than that genre is used to.[3]
