Bruce M Unspeakably bad in almost all criteria involved with filmmaking and with movies. An earlier commenter enjoyed director Roberta Findlay's commentary on the dvd; perhaps I would have, too, as she was a mainstay in the early days of NY porn and grindhouse, and her cinematography was always good and she cane across as a cranky old woman in her interviews. However, I watched in online, as it existed when it was first shown, and it's incredibly unwatchable. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Scott M Roberta Findlay directed this story about a fat female lesbian serial killer. It's a good idea for a script, however, the movie itself is dull. Just poorly made with really bad special effects. I did enjoy her commentary on the DVD though. She's really funny. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Audience Member The only other Roberta Findlay movies I had seen before this were Blood Sisters and Tenement, which were both terrible. So my expectations for this going in were VERY low. However, this movie has shown me that she may be the most crazy female horror director ever. This is one of those "wtf?" confusing, bad horror movies filled with cheap special effects, terrible acting, and cheese. Glorious, glorious cheese. There's the killer that is obviously a woman that they try audiences make to think is a man for most of the movie before saying "screw it" and revealing she is a woman halfway. There are moments where the movie completely rips off Dressed to Kill and it's hilarious. The last half hour of this is just amazing. The killer is chasing the main character with an axe, and the killer becomes so inept that her asthma acts up and she can't hit her with the axe from two feet. There is an insane asylum with extras acting like idiots, a nice gory moment at the end of the movie that was very unexpected and out-of-tone with most of the rest of the movie, and a freaking cheap-looking zombie ghost. The plot makes no sense, there are some nice deaths, the acting is bad, and the directing, pacing, and editing is all nonsensical. This is bad movie trash at its finest. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member To slow paced to keep your atention. A movie with a killer lesbian in drag should have been more fun than what this movie ended up being. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is really slow... I don't think it's bad though. It stays coherent, has some interesting scenes and it has a hulking lesbian assassin! My real rating would be 2 3/4 stars if I had the option, but I don't so I will round up to 3. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Holy crap is this film an ungodly, wretched mess! This film was released in 1985 but everything about it including those open-shirted hairy-chested guys indicates this was probably made in 1980 and sat on a shelf for 5 years until some dumb shmuck thought he could make a few bucks off of it. I'm sure he didn't. Oh well, what did I expect from half of the "creative" team that brought you 'Snuff'. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
