Most B-movies can only dream of achieving the greatness that this film achieves with ease. The secret to it's success it obvious: lots of gore, nudity, campy special effects and out-of-the-blue lesbian overtones. How could it go wrong? There's unintentional humor of course, but the real surprise here is that there are
a lot of intentional laughs as well. Mary Woronov is a queen of the B-movies, and here she shows why with a wonderfully wacked-out performance. Most of the rest of the cast are just pretty faces who look great naked but first-time actress Janet Tracy Keyser shows some promise in the lead role. Director Kenneth J. Hall keeps things light and moving, and he doesn't take things too seriously. The film avoids all the pitfalls most made-for-video movies wallow in, and I had fun.
