All Critics (6) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (3) | DVD (2)
A film in need of a blood transfusion, that remakes a bad film and only makes it worse.
Deeply flawed, but hilariously layered with stock footage, gobs of camp and a bizarre narrative.
Wynorski knows what he's serving up here, which makes the film consistently amusing, playing up its influences and temptations with a swift pace and spirited performances.
Pointless remake of 'classic' Corman B.

Fun With Credits: First we're subjected to a demented opening title sequence featuring clips from other '80s Roger Corman-produced movies which have absolutely nothing to do with this one, then at the very end of the closing credits comes the warning "Any unauthorized distribution of this film is an infringement of the copyright and will subject the infringer to severe civil and criminal prosecution -- not to mention a one-way ticket to Davanna."
