CGiii Comment
A near forgotten little curiosity.
An unintended masterclass in camp trash - directed by a director who is so out of his depth that any perceived talent that he had before making this is...is laughable.
Asher was a light entertainment TV director - the person that allowed him to move into the slasher, nasty genre - displayed total madness.
Tyrrell is so over-the-top that her comedy talents come to the fore - a thoroughly embarrassing performance in a thoroughly embarrassing film.
But - it does have quite a good ending.
