absolutely bizarre British horror/black comedy is worth a look, 4 November 2007
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Helen (Fiona Horsey) seems to have a problem with sex. Or, at least the men that have sex with Helen seem to have a problem but only for a short time, since whenever she has sex the man is sucked up inside her. In other words, her private parts are a bit like "Audrey" from "Little Shop of Horrors", and they even say "feed me". Now, Dennis (Paul Conway) is a seemingly mild-mannered young man who loves Helen but can't get close to her because she has other ideas of who she wants. Helen lives with her mother & her crippled father but she picks up and leaves home for London, where she becomes a prostitute to feed her, uh, habit. Eventually, Dennis goes to London too, originally for an book fair or something, but while there he becomes involved with Siamese twins and after a roll in the hay with the wrong one, he becomes rather distraught & tries to separate them with an electric knife, with dire results. Dennis then goes into "hiding" with a fake mustache & shades. Eventually he hooks up with a stripper & they pull a bank heist, etc, and he and his accomplice run into Helen & her new hubby whom she's afraid to have sex with for fear of consuming him, etc. Helen met up with her new hubby when she was taken to a garage for a little unwilling S&M with a customer, who of course met the same fate as all of Helen's other customers, leaving no one to untie her, etc. This is a busy little film, and very weird. I thought at first it was a straight horror film & then I realized it wasn't, but it's got some pretty interesting ideas and some very dry and strange humor to it. I found it weird enough to be appealing, and Helen (Fiona Horsey) is quite beautiful, and Dennis (Paul Conway) has a air about him of a British Anthony Perkins. If you enjoy strange films then this is worth checking out. 7 out of 10.
