I
watched this with a friend expecting a cheeseball crappy
comedy-horror, but it was actually hilarious on purpose! The two
leads were great (Mullen's physical comedy was particularly memorable
- the face thing, I mean) and the effects and cinematography weren't
even that bad. For a B movie, this is brilliant, and it demonstrates
it's self-awareness far more aptly than I would have expected.
Frank
Henenlotter is known to be a bit of a basket case with his cinema,
and this is an excellent addition to his memorable collection
(including this, that makes two then). The film sees a hobby
re-animatorist try to bring his girlfriend back using parts from a
bunch of hookers buy exploding them all with “super-crack”.
The
exploding hooker party scene was a highlight, as was watching his
confused wife walking around the streets of NYC asking scared guys if
they wanted a date in a nasally NJ accent that was more frightening
than her appearance.
Extremely
funny, I can hardly fault it for being so stupid, as it's so
blatantly purposeful with it all. A fantastic piece of garbage.
