Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me

If you enjoy "black comedy", "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" is a must see. This is something Paul Bartel would have had a ball with, as I'm sure Joel Hershman probably did. All the weird trailer park loonies you could ever imagine are in this movie. Nympho's, virgins, a senior citizen thief, mother haters, a Great Dane, and on and on. Cult status is assured if the film ever gets the exposure it deserves. The soundtrack is another reason to see "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" as it is excellent. So, if your idea of dark comedy might include poisoning your slutty sister, and then burying her in a pet cemetery, you have found "black comedy" gold. Highly recommended. - MERK

Wow, what can i say, i LOVE this movie. I've watched it several times, i own it. The characters are so magnified and bold, u can't help but stare at them in awe. There are so many great lines in this movie - it never leaves you bored or understimulated...well, with a borderline psycho/stripper/nympho and a trailer park full of fun how is that possible? I particularly enjoy the striking looks of Max Parrish--where is he since this movie?! And I am also a huge Sabra fan! She is the best. Ex.) "All I have to do is a few pornos, a few beaver shots in Hustler, and then i'll be like the BEST gymnastics instructor at your local YMCA!" ; "Come on titty-f*ck me u know you hate your mother!" Who couldn't love THAT?!!!! RENT THIS MOVIE, SUPPORT THIS MOVIE. Visit your local trailer park today and you will have acquired a newfound respect for its unique brand of culture.

The director allegedly vowed to make the sleaziest movie he could as a condemnation of Hollywood. He succeeded admirably, but it feels more like homage to me.

Dialogue example: "I guess killing your sister, burying your dog, and losing your virginity all in one day is a lot for a girl."

I am not from the it's-so-bad-it's-good school of movie watching. "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or even "Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill" (which, by the way, is saluted in this film), has always been just too stoner-stupid for my taste. However, if you create off this concept, well. . .

This film is shot in the colors of sleaze--from Sabra's day-glow spandex to the hues of the trailer court. Everything is there to enhance the camp. This is side-spliting sleaze all the way. I mean, how about the scene where he takes Danni out to dinner with handcuffs on? Or, Sabra's come-on line, "down deep I'm a sensitive and vulnerable girl. Don't let my vibrators and dildos fool you."

Symbolism? How 'bout the Barbie dolls?

Inference with Import? How 'bout the scene where pink-spandexed Sabra walks Gus down the SPCA promenade of death? That'll make you give up topless bars and stroke mags, man.

Hidden treat? Buy the soundtrack. It'll fit nicely next to "Copulatin' Blues"

Weak link? Timmy Leary. The only acting he does effectively is playing dead.

Big studio Hollywood couldn't've made a film like this if they tried. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss me is one hysterical film that had me laughing throughout it's run. I found myself not being able to wait until the slutty nymphet Sabra would come back onto the screen, for every scene she is in is incredibly funny. She delivers her lines with such ease and assurity it was almost as if she was ad-libbing. Also, Sean Young is amazing, as is the incredibly good-looking Max Parrish and Adrienne Shelley (who's obviously not even close to the age of 17, which is the age of her character). DON"T RENT THIS MOVIE, BUY IT!!! I used to watch it on the USA network but they cut out alot of stuff, so I had to bid on it through Ebay because it's not easy to find in stores.

Some of the most unusual dialog I've ever heard!! And delivered perfectly by all concerned! This film was grand, campy fun. Definitely unique!!

Just when you think you know exactly where the film is headed, it suddenly takes an oblique turn, with hilarious results.

Another member used the phrase: "Side-Splitting Sleaze..." I consider that comment accurate and a compliment to the movie. I totally agree!

The subject matter is adult and the language is often profane. These characters are... um, interesting people, who say and do what they want, when they want. So this film isn't for everyone... But, if you like strangeness and enjoy laughing, this is a great movie for you.
