Scott’s Review #8
Reviewed June 17, 2014
Grade: B+
This offbeat treat is an incredibly strange, super-low-budget horror film from influential director H.G. Lewis.
This film is an enjoyable, campy, midnight-movie type of experience. The acting is completely over-the-top and played for laughs, purposely.
It felt like watching a horror version of a John Waters film and the atmosphere and acting style surely influenced Waters.
Shots were added to fill the running time to warrant a film release. KFC and Michelob products are placed and one favorite scene is a sorority-type slumber party as the girls danced while eating KFC.
The 7-minute intro of the talking foam heads is wonderfully strange and not to be missed.
While campy, there is one intensely gruesome scene towards the beginning of the film and a must-see for cult horror and/or late-night film fans.
