The Worst Film Ever
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is a fun low budget grindhouse that lacked continuity. The Thief (Billy Blair) is commissioned by Lucifer (Nick Gomez) to get a box that is protected by Josephine (Paula Marcenaro Solinger) an unpolished poorly choreographed macabre Uma Thurman lite. There is a bounty hunter and a couple of cops who add to the great characters. Somehow a honeybee got wrote into the script that really had nothing to do with the movie other than to add filler and give director/writer Jennifer Michelle Stone II a role. Not that it wasn't a cute part, I was just confused how it fit in and why the film never returned to the beginning when it started its flashback, like any half decent scripted film.The choreography fighting was bad except for a couple of fighters with minor roles, most likely the only professionals. They did a lot of slow motion filming to cover up the bad movements...which BTW were the movements they actually wanted as they have extra features showing us the 3 minutes of fight rehearsals.About half way through the film the dead gypsy fortune teller lets us know some useless information about the box and where all these extra characters are coming from. It isn't until the end that we find out.Guide: F-word. No sex. Front loaded stripper nudity.
You have to take indie movies what they are, indie, and look past production values. If you don't you'll never appreciate them or most mainstream films, which I hate to tell you aren't perfect by any means. This film has tons of gore and hot women in it. There are even girl fights on top of mixed fights. It centers around a very strong female lead. At first I thought was a film made by Mexicans but I was wrong. It does have fantastic elements of Satanism that might deter some people away but the strong female lead and the fact it's a horror with awesome fight scenes should keep people's interest. If not the film has a lot of attractive strippers that definitely make this film a top choice on your exploitation collection. The cover may look unattractive and too amateur but I assure you will not be disappointed after you watch it. Just make sure you really do appreciate exploitation horror, otherwise you probably should look the other way. This film doesn't deserve the poor reviews it has garnered.
