About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a deliberately tasteless, campy horror-comedy packed with nudity and over-the-top gore, especially if you liked Blood for Dracula; not for you if you want subtle scares or a serious, coherent story.
Pros: outrageous dark humor; extreme gore shocks; sleazy midnight-movie vibe | Cons: uneven acting; slow, padded stretches; effects feel dated
