xpig332 B Jul 22 This movie is best with psilocybin! See more Henry W @HenryWarwick 09/18/2024 Excellent indy film. Oozes NYC 1983 vibes like no other film. Shot on credit cards - what it lacks in technique, it makes up for in being completely weird and darkly comic. The first film to have a soundtrack made using digital synthesis (a Fairlight IIx they used at Public Access Sound Studio). The soundtrack is excellent. The scientist and shrimp lady subplot I found tedious and got in the way of the real story in the apartment. Still, it's brilliant and some of the scenes are truly iconic, esp. the ones with Paula Shepherd. She's a huge character in a tiny body. Anne Carlisle is cooler and does an amazing job playing two parts, she also gets points. The rest of the cast is mostly forgettable while making some brilliantly funny scenes. Required Viewing.

I absolutely hated it on my first viewing, but was taken by the beautiful shots of the city and the neon signs that decorate the heroine's apartment, so I watched it again. The dialogue also intrigued and amused me, and I ended up watching it four times in a weekend. Now, it is one of my favorites of all-time. Prepare yourself for the fact that the lead character will be subjected to sexual violence; it is critical to her story. It's now 40 years since the movie was filmed...it captures an interesting point in time in New York where its sex and drugs culture is subjected to a twisted science fiction experience. See more 09/02/2021 The characters in this film are so unrelatable, it ruins what could have been a great movie. I have no idea how this film ever received a positive rating. See more 08/02/2020 If not for the writing, acting, directing, cinematography, and editing, this could have been a good movie! See more 12/29/2018 Very weird, very punk experimental film about aliens that feed off of orgasms. If you can get past the low budget nature of it, there's quite a bit to dissect in it. Dealing with themes of female repression and the links between sex and drugs. It's a gonzo movie you're not soon to forget. See more Read all reviews
