First and foremost i would like to say that I am appalled by the use of nudity and violence just to get over...whether in a movie or a wrestling ring or in a local bar. That being said this movie has blood sucking nipples in it and some pretty good tentacle porn. That's right you read right blood sucking nipples..like fanged leach like boobs. I'm not talking about ex girlfriend leach likeness I'm talking actual blood sucking. This is honestly enough already, I would imagine, for most of you to be looking up this movie, and if your not why not? Are you a sissy? Or maybe not interested in boobs?
if that is the case I'm pretty sure you should just rent Fried Green Tomatoes and call it a night.
Ok, Ok... maybe I was a little overzealous with the boobs and tentacles because this movie is definitely not all wine and roses. The sad fact is the acting, while not being horrible, still isnt sharp and the cinematography, while ok, is a bit home movieish at times. So, ok, there you go... not the best film ever but wait!!! Did you forget about the man eating breasts? I didn't and I'm gonna tell you all about it.
This film features a cast including John Saxon of Enter the Dragon fame and a plethora of young attractive Hollywood types. The cast of characters are all brought together in a an old movie prop house where they soon realize they are trapped. The tour guide, played by Hollywood veteran Henry Gibson, tells them that if they tell their most horrifying stories they might be set free. They all seem to think for some strange reason this is a super idea so they proceed to regurgitate the most horrible things to ever happen to them.
The first story is of a young actress though attractive cannot get jobs because her breasts aren't big enough. So as people tend to do she agrees to receive breasts from a cadaver from a rather shady doctor. Well it seems to work scoring her more jobs and fame until one night her boyfriend wakes up after being bitten by her nipples.....yup....her nipples. well if I tell you much more i will take all the fun out of it, but suffice to say it isn't what you think it is..and if it is then i would rather not be your friend cause you are very odd sir.
The second story is of a couple that travels to Japan to only end up being greeted by an evil Japanese spirit that tentacle rapes the woman.....yup....Japanese anime style even. The anime segments are well done and seem to fit the story.
The third story is of a man who laments taking his friends love only to find out later she and his friend were nothing like they seemed.
The final tale is of a girl with a very odd twin...OK its a tapeworm...that's right a tapeworm......a GIANT tapeworm.
Alright all the boobs and tapeworms aside this movie isnt overly scary. Its like "is this chicken still good?" scary. There are no big chills or things jumping out, but there are some very nice "really?" moments. In fact, this movie isnt overall good ... just sorta average overall. The reason to watch this movie isnt for the cinematography but for the odd choices for the stories used. If it wasnt for the oddity of this film it would be another unremarkable outer limits style film. Buuuuuuuut it is odd and i think enjoyable in that way. Will it reinvent the wheel? no. Will it make you look under your bed for ghouls? no. Will it make you cook your meat more thoroughly? quite possibly. In the end isnt that enough? Well... that and the blood sucking boobs.
