3 showgirls on their way to Las Vegas have stuck all night when their car breaks down. The next morning ,a man offers them help, but, he's really a maniac. His mother abandoned him when he was a child, and now he keeps women he's kidnapped chained in his barn, where he trains them to perform circus tricks. Andre's father is still around of course, but because the old homestead is next to a nuclear test site he's been transformed into a homicidal mutant who Andre keeps locked up in a shed. Written by Jeremy Lunt <durlinlunt@acadia.net>
After their car breaks down in the desert, Simone (Manuela Thiess) and her two friends encounter a helpful man named Andre (Andrew Prine- SIMON KING OF THE WITCHES, GRIZZLY, THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN), who takes them back to his place. Actually, he takes them to his barn, where Simone and company meet the other women. This is when they realize that Andre is utterly insane. He's an ex-circus performer w/ some serious issues! The rest is a tale of degradation and doom, while the tortured trio's manager and the local sheriff attempt to locate them. Meanwhile, a marauding monster roams the desert, killing the unwary. As weird movies go, this is in the upper echelon. Part PSYCHO, part TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and all bonkers, it's certainly one of a kind! The frustrating finale is one for the ages!...
