It?s a silly Comedy/Horror in the style of Braindead & Society. The scene where 7 prostitutes take copious amounts of crack and explode makes it worth a watch alone. The ending is a nice touch too. Enjoy it because they don't make them like this anymore!
Not the king of exploitation films, but it gets a seat at the Round Table for sure. More over-the-top than can be imagined, laugh-out-loud funny, trashy, gory, absurdly ridiculous. You're unlikely to see an adaption of Frankenstein besides this one that involves the concept of ...( read more)
