This film is worth watching if only so you can then claim to have seen the worst film ever made. It features truly appalling acting - the lead character is a horrid mix of the worst aspects of Billy Crystal, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider, only far worse than you can imagine. Every line is delivered flat and incompetently - like the dead hookers sequence. It's cringe-inducing. The humour is not only mentally challenged it treats the audience like it's ESN - every "joke" is spelt out so no-one is left in any doubt. For instance, the bearded lady gets shaved, so we see the result, see the word "bearded" being deleted but to cap it off we get the dwarf saying "she lost her beard". Thanks for that, I really needed that gag explained 3 ways! And the drug shoot out is so painful it's sadomasochistic to watch - like the whole film. And the dead hookers scene? Genius! Of course live TV would air that sort of rubbish, and it was just so funny, and not misogynistic one bit. It also shows just how desperate Chevy Chase and Chris Farley had become that they would stoop so low to be in this garbage.

This series has it all: excellent writing that is witty, terse, dramatic and thrilling. The direction is excellent too - edgy, scary, gripping with cinema-esquire cinematography. The acting is first class too - ordinary people dealing with affliction, emotion, death etc - much better than the US series full of models and glamour - in contrast this is earthy and realistic.

The story lines are similar to The Sixth Sense and are clearly derived from that concept, but each one is expertly handled. One of the best of the series involves a hoax supernatural experience - just wait for the ending! Top notch, hair-raising stuff.

A bizarre mix of I spit on Your Grave, crossed with 80s splatter horror films, Terminator-esquire cyborg flicks and journalistic detective stories.

The horror element is made up of the gory deaths the rapists suffer. The deaths are some sick stuff - yet MGM showed it with a 16 rating! There is no way this was made in 1991. I guess this sat on the shelf for at least 5 years. This is pure early to mid 80s. All grey-flecked suits, rolled up sleeves, wide shoulder pads, permed mullets, grey marble, clashing pastels, and bright neon tube lighting. This was made in the 80s and sat on the shelf gathering dust, and no surprise.

There's the occasional laughable B movie dialogue which lifts the film, but the overall grimness of the film makes it hard to watch and stomach.
