Revenge of Captain Howdy: The Gage Retribution
Horror United States of America
Strangeland is a 1998 horror film directed by Dee Snider, who is best known as the lead singer of the heavy metal band Twisted Sister. The film stars Snider as Captain Howdy, a sadistic and twisted man who uses the internet to lure young people into his clutches.
The film opens with a montage of gruesome images, including close-ups of piercings and tattoos being applied, as well as shots of bodies being dismembered and burned. We then meet Detective Mike Gage (played by Kevin Gage), who is investigating a series of disappearances involving teenaged girls. Gage is particularly concerned about his own daughter, Genevieve (played by Linda Cardellini), who has been chatting online with someone she thinks is a fellow metalhead.
Genevieve agrees to meet her online friend in person, and is kidnapped by Captain Howdy. Gage and his partner, Steve (played by Brett Harrelson), launch a desperate search for the missing girl, but their efforts are hampered by the fact that they don't know who they're looking for. Meanwhile, Howdy is subjecting Genevieve to increasingly brutal and sadistic tortures, both physical and emotional.
Eventually, through a combination of luck and detective work, Gage is able to track down Howdy and rescue Genevieve. Howdy is arrested and sent to a mental institution, where he is evaluated by a team of psychiatrists. However, much to Gage's dismay, Howdy is released from the institution after only a few months. Gage is convinced that Howdy is still a danger, and decides to take matters into his own hands.
The rest of the film consists of a twisted game of cat-and-mouse between Gage and Howdy, as Gage seeks revenge against the man who nearly destroyed his family. The film is filled with gruesome images of torture and mutilation, as well as plenty of twisted psychological mind games. Snider's performance as Captain Howdy is particularly chilling, as he captures both the character's sadistic glee and his deep-seated psychological problems.
Overall, Strangeland is a disturbing and intense horror film that will appeal to fans of extreme cinema. It is not for the faint of heart, as it contains numerous scenes of graphic violence and disturbing subject matter. However, for those who can handle it, it is a fascinating exploration of the darker side of human nature.
