This is (I guess) known as "Andy Warhol's Bad" but there's not much evidence of his involvement in the credits, nor does Paul Morrisey's name seem to be there either. However, despite all that this manages to be quite the nasty little romp anyway. A woman who does electrolysis out of her Queens home is also running a murder-for-hire business with young women to do the dirty work, when along comes L.T. (Perry King) who takes up residence in this nut-house. Besides the woman there's her laid-off husband, her not-very-tightly-wound daughter-in-law, her mother who hacks her head off all the time but won't quit smoking, and another renter. A lovely household, overall. Mostly this consists of incidents of the killers for hire going out to do their dirty work and the would-be victims include a dog, a baby, and an autistic child, not to mention a Puerto Rican mechanic. Chock full of unpleasant and wacko people, this is rather a treat for fans of black comedy, and manages to offend on many levels. I believe that this is one of the last films from "The Warhol Factory" but it's also one of the better ones in my book, really. The Cheezy Flicks DVD was slammed big time a while back but I'd read where apparently the manufacturer took note and I guess they did because I had no complaints with the transfer or the quality. And I had this on VHS too, the way the film looks is the way the film LOOKS, there's no cleaning up that'll change any of that, if that's what people were complaining about. Anyway, the movie itself is a nasty little jewel, and it's one of my favorites of the Warhol stuff, except for perhaps the Dracula one. 8 out of 10.
