Three young girls heading to a rock show make a wrong turn and end up crashing during the middle of a rainstorm. They awaken several hours later in a creepy mansion owned by a sexiest handicapped woman in a wheelchair where they each meet grisly faiths.
This is one of those films that has so much going for it, but can never live up to it's potential. The script is filled with weird & interesting supporting characters. It also has a good setting and the events that unfold are certainly different enough to have seperated it from the huge market of 80's slashers. However, the film is extremely flawed. Despite the fact that there are some good things about the script, the writer has no idea how to introduce characters, write dialouge (lots of monolouges, but little dialouge) or set up events. The direction happens to be flat too. Thus there is no build up in suspense. The director also focuses on certain scenes way too long. And the casting, well let's just say that the cast appears as though they have absolutely no prior acting experience. Film deserves some credit though. The make up / gore effects are skillfully pulled off. The cinematography is pretty good. And that ending of course. It certainly is unexpected and unlike anything else I have seen. Plus the final two lines of the film are filled with such a strong sense of irony. It is such a shame that this film hits it's stride at the very end. The ending is very powerful stuff and lingers in the mind for a very long time. Unfortunately, the rest of the film is instantly forgotten. Poor handling of pretty good material is the main fault here.
Unrated; Graphic Violence and Nudity.
