trailer is a little dark, film is not.                    

Small | Large


                            I can't remember how I heard about this but I'm glad I did.  First and most importantly there is a good deal of nudity in this.  Let's hope that people are tired of blue ball inducing bs like "Bring it on" and are ready to bring movies back to the people a la the grindhouse and early 80's video boom.  OKay, this doesn't have the glossy eyed wild decadence of an italian sex movie circa the 70's or the insanity of "the cheerleaders" but IT'S A START.  We aren't sitting in a pot smoke filled 42nd street theatre or a suburban living room with a new invention called the vcr bringing us something we can't see on someting called the internet yet so we need to ADJUST to modern realities, in this case it means Scream type yuks and even more implausible plot contrivences (why don't they all just LEAVE?)


            By the guy who did Puppetmaster and featuring a Necronomicon influenced monster and plot (though it's mainly a comedy) , a ton of lesbianism, gore,  a "punk" guy with no eyebrows, a cop with a little kids Pop Warner football trophy on his desk (I have the same one in my basement) and veteran actress Mary Woronov as a nun.  A favorite scene was when the choir is singing "holy Holy Holy" while two girls are being paddled by the priest 4/5

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

that's a good bit of nudity for a YouTube trailer!

I saw that movie awhile back, and I think I posted a mini-review on here.  Basically all a B-movie should be.

I just got that for a Christmas present.  I could have done without the overt comedy, but it had many saving graces nonetheless  TeddyR

indianasmith- I think that must have been where i heard about it. I agree it's good. 

jack- I think alot of those grind house movies are not as easy to make as maybe we thought they were.  Plus, starting in the 80's pepople became alot more kind of wound up.  I saw this dvd of advertisements from the 70's and it was amazing how mellow everything was

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
