Slinkie T @RT34738069 5h So much wasted potential. Pact with the devil etc. The story is so overdone and 1 dimensional I am not wasting much time on it. It serves a purpose and you kinda get the setup to this movie. They tried... You can see that they tried. It's a really weak slasher. The kills (when they are not off screen) are not very impressive. There are some boobs in it. In case you have not discovered porn yet, this movie might have some value for you. The music is ... not for me. I like rock. I like heavy metal. This particular brand of hair metal is not my thing. There is not nearly enough music in it to warrant the musical theme and plot importance. The casting is ... not the worst but I can't for the life of me understand the focus on the "main girl". From a character point of view, there is not enough time spent on her. From a actress point of view, she is not sexy enough to outshine the other 3 female characters. I don't dislike Traci Lords, but she can't carry this mediocre pulp. See more David S. @baxter667 Mar 1 Probably one of the strangest films I have ever seen, bad dubbing, weird plotting and strange casting choices, this little horror film shouldn't be good, but in its own weird way it kind of is. A straight to Vhs film, it certainly hasn't aged well, but that's part of its charm. If you're into weird films, as I am it's not bad and hey, it's funny to!!! See more Bruce M @BruceMc Jan 27 Really, really terrible, but campy and, at times, fun. Unsurprisingly, there's gratuitous nudity; however, equally unsurprisingly, none by former porn star and self-proclaimed "legitimate" actress Traci Lords.

See more Mike R @RT47258436 02/05/2025 Classic. It is so bad, it's good. Myself and my best friend watched this movie sooo many times we had it memorized.
