Dir: Jeff Broadstreet
Inane spoof from the ever-schlocky production house of Fred Olen Ray. This one is an elaborate cause-and-effect farce about "I Rip Your Flesh With Pliers", a fictional splatter movie. The cast and crew seem less concerned about manufacturing onscreen violence and more into just killing one another. There are some sporadically amusing moments (the exploding horny werewolf raised a smile), weird ideas and Grade A eye candy (Linnea Quigley and Delia Shepphard being the female leads), but this can't sustain it for 86 laboured minutes. There's even a terrible musical number half way through in which 'Ethan', the plier-wielding serial killer, chases Linnea (wearing a 'VICTIM' t-shirt) around the set whilst occasionally stopping for the twist and the mashed potato. I really need to stop watching this kind of film before my brain gives out entirely. *1/2
