Storyline

Frustrated with his most recent film doing poorly, film director Able Whitman finds himself at a strip club where he meets and takes home one of the strippers, Gigi Stops. They have an accident on the road which kills Gigi leaving Able to figure out what to do with the body. He conveniently decides to "disguise" the body parts as set pieces to his new horror film. When this new design style is met with much praise, Able decides he needs more parts to fulfill his new "project". Written by rivethead808

I thought all the prints were destroyed, and yet here it is!
16 February 2010 | by paul_haakonsenSee all my reviews

Well, at least they made an attempt.

This movie has a stupid storyline, and doesn't provide any thrills or scares. Throughout the movie you will be laughing at the effects and the characters.

The movie is a mix of mediocre and bad acting, and none really shines through in a great way. But despite this, the goofiness (whether intended or not) makes the movie watchable, because you will be laughing at them.

The costumes were hilarious, and makes you wonder "what were they thinking?". Some of the sets were alright though, not everything was bad here.

There was a 70's feeling to the movie somehow.

At least an attempt was made at this movie, but it is not a very good movie in overall. But at least some of the ways people were killed were inventive and funny, that counts for something.

This is not a movie that I would recommend you pick up, unless you have too much time on your hands and want to kill off an hour and a half with a low budget movie that really isn't worth the effort. There are lots of other low budget movies out there far better than this one!
