Quigley plays a cute young runaway whose desperate dive into the Hollywood prostitution racket lands her smack in the middle of a demonic chainsaw death-cult, presided over by none other than Texas Chainsaw Massacre's "Leatherface," Gunnar Hansen. This deliberately over-the-top item makes no pretense about its primary mission -- the display of female nudity and severed body parts -- and comes through with flying colors, so to speak. Highlights include a decidedly un-subtle cross-dressing hooker, an Elvis-loving cultist who covers her movie posters with plastic before chainsawing her next john, a victim's-eye view of a chainsaw attack, and a body-painted Quigley performing the "Virgin Dance of the Double Chainsaws!" ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Sean Axmaker, MSN.com
Fred Olen Ray designed the film for cult consumption and cast Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface in the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) with that in mind.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Director Fred Olen Ray will never be confused with his namesakes Nicholas and Satyajit, but once upon a time he made a pretty entertaining B-movie, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers.
