Gruesome and original, 14 July 2005
6/10
Author: KHayes666 from United States

I first saw parts of this movie on the Night Train to Terror collection and this seemed to be the only one worth watching by itself. After I found the bootleg, Death Wish Club is truly bizarre but watchable.

A rich no goodnik named George Youngmeyer (J Martin Sellets) goes to a carnival and hits on a popcorn vendor named Gretta (Meredith Haze. George proceeds to put her in pornos. During a college re-union frat party, pre-med joe schmoe (Rick Barnes) named Glenn takes a liking to her and goes to meet with her. After he gets in her pants, soon George catches them and makes them join a secret society whose purpose is to put their lives on the line for the entertainment of the group.

The idea of a guy hitting on a carny is kind of weird but that was probably the most normal thing to happen the rest of the movie. Lola the drag queen gets beat up, Contessa gets a wrecking ball sinus infection and my favorite, a Jimi Hendrix lookalike fries (exscuse me while I smoke) I wish this movie actually came out for it wasn't that bad compared to other crap that came out during the time period.
