Featured review
I'll also add for the fans of cheesy 80's horror, absolutely nudity or gore (save for the final five minutes) either! The only enjoyable part of this film is a two minute scene towards the end that's slightly trippy and features the film's only gore/effects moment. That could work out totally fine if this film was an enjoyable slow burn, but that it is far from. With everything you had to suffer through just to get that one cool scene, who cares?!
Where to begin on this one... There seems to be about seven or eight subplots going at once, none of them interesting. It mainly follows around a woman who's trying to decide whether or not she's still crazy. And man, does she like to talk! The movie is compromised mainly of endless dialogue scenes, occasionally jumping into a random 80's dance party featuring a live band for several minutes. We're also treated to random cuts into stock footage (with a MAJOR jump in quality) of another film featuring the same lead actress. I originally thought this footage was going to pan out and it would be playing on a TV or something. Nope. Supposedly it's the character's "visions". Cool.
About the only thing that saved this movie from being a total dud was that scene mentioned before, and the fact I got a kick out of all the bad acting and dialogue; the teenagers in particular. I normally love everything Massacre Video puts out, but you can definitely skip this one. You know, unless you're like me and have to seek out every single bad horror movie ever made.
