Four attractive women are hired to clean and tidy up a large house over the course of a weekend. Naturally, there’s room for some stripping and other fun. Unfortunately, all the fun is ruined when a book summons an evil cartoon character.
Think mixing horror and Roger Rabbit sounds like a good idea? No, me neither.
I really struggle to understand the intentions behind this film, because it’s neither fish nor fowl. If it weren’t for the abundance of bare breasts, I’d honestly think this was a kids’ movie. First and foremost, this is meant to be a comedy — but honestly, who on earth would find a badly animated demon scary? Sadly, the humour is so flat that there’s rarely anything to laugh at. It’s clear the film is trying to lean heavily on its naked women, which is fine in itself, but that should be treated as a bonus — not the foundation of a film. If that’s what you’re after, there are far better options than a horror-comedy to grab from the video shelf.
The cast consists of porn stars and nude models, which naturally means the acting is… well, terrible. There are actually some decent actors here too, like David Carradine (Kill Bill), but honestly, I just feel sorry for the guy — this is a low point in any career. He just looks ridiculous in this role.
The film was shot in eight days on another film’s set, and there’s little to suggest a proper script was ever involved. There is a certain entertainment value here, and some of the least picky viewers out there might find it amusing. But the film is fully aware it’s garbage, and tries to lean into that by serving up intentionally bad humour. The result is more pathetic than “so-bad-it’s-good.” When something is made to be bad on purpose, it loses a lot of the charm that makes a proper B-movie work — and I just can’t find this film cool at all.
That said, the cartoon monster is so badly executed that it’s almost worth seeing, and Penthouse model Monique Gabrielle is always worth a glance. Other than that, this is one big mess — with an ending so terrible I’m genuinely at a loss for words.
