A "B" movie all the way

Not even Barbara Hershey could save this farce. If it was supposed to be a comedy it was a total failure. There wasn't a laugh in the entire movies. Bizarre plot. Too much needless and graphic violence. If this movie was supposed to entertain, the blood and gore made certain that it did not. Hershey was badly miscast in this movie. If she was supposed to be a sympathetic character, it never showed and that is too bad because Hershey is an accomplished actress and this movie doesn't help her career. If it had been for Hershey, I would not have even considered watching this movie only to be very disappointed in her role.

Great dark humor story

Some movies are like olives or wine; you need to have developed a taste before you can fully enjoy them. The story was unexpected and definitely better the second time around since I was paying attention this time. If you like dark humor you'll love Barbara Hershey and this great cast doing a wonderful job. It is well above par for this genre.

A Cross between Crap...

and a really HUGE warm pile of crap. This stinker can be smelled from a country mile away. Dont go too close or might get some on you. Idiotic story and even worse acting..if thats possible. Run! and dont look back, or you may just turn into a pillar of salt.

This movie was HORRIBLE !!!

awful awful... you can't even say this is a tarantino rip off because in doing so you would imply this is like a tarantino but its sooooooooooo bad...i haven't seen a film this bad in a long time . so go ahead and rent this or buy it but its out of print for a reason not one bit interesting and worse they try to act in the movie the whole thing ... it's even worse than it sounds alot worse.

Existential movie - mafia and off-broadway theater meet

I didn't know what to make of this movie...a lot of dark humor, but I couldn't make sense of what the theme was. The screenplay is well-written, but this movie is hard to follow, much less understand. I'm still not sure whether it was really good or really bad, thus the "5" rating.

Quiz
The film's title is taken from the blues song by Sonny Boy Williamson, "Fattening Frogs for Snakes". Singer Patti Smith apparently brought this song to the director's attention; in the end credits she receives "special thanks" for its use.

Gascone: [Eva left acting class] So when are you coming back to class?
Eva: Never.
Gascone: It's a shame, little Eva. You're the only one I ever picked to make it. You got fucking talent, you know? You got a fucking gift.
Eva: Yeah, well, I got lots of gifts.
Gascone: Yeah, I know...
