Amazing Title............Really Boring Film
7 August 2008 | by (Manchester, England) – See all my reviews

I'm a pretty big fan of Troma films and b movies in general but i found this movie very difficult to watch all the way through. The first hour or so was just so dull, nothing remotely interesting happens at all. The action gets a little more exciting towards the end but its nothing to write home about.

I expected outrageous, over the top violence, sex and randomness but it just never really happened. The ridiculous plot had the potential to make a classic troma flick so its a shame that it was so poorly executed.

One of the only parts of the film i really liked was the main musical theme, the crazy synth really went well with the bizarre movie idea.
