Review

"Imagine a SNL-skit parodying a black-and-white whodunit mystery-melodrama expanded to epic-length proportions on a single dingy set, but armed with an oddly funny script that has some semblance of wit, and featuring a no-name cast that not only can act decently but is gung-ho for anything on-screen and is also in on the joke for the sake of the audience. Well, that description might be a little much for one to digest, but it does sum-up Thundercrack! in a nutshell, and the film certainly falls under the definitions of "bizarre", "campy" and, well, "crude"." - PopOptiq
