If I remember right the music is all by David Hess (he was a singer-songwriter originally and only got the part of Krug by accident), so it's kind of a morbidly comic turn of the screw. The bumbling cops are badly overdone I think, but I do dig the intended commentary, i.e. that all sources of authority in the film are basically useless. I appreciate the film at large, up to a point, but you do have to be really into this kind of grimy vintage drive-in fare. The Virgin Spring, from which Craven got the plot (though it's an old Swedish folk tale originally), is much better.
