BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

reptilicus Gadzooks, I wasted 97 minutes of my life watching this? For the first half hour you get drawn into what you think is a remake of the 1969 movie GAMES, but then it switches tracks and becomes a murder plot by an unhappily married wife against her rich and eccentric to the point of completely weird husband (he imitates Beethoven, Hamlet, and Toulouse-Lautrec to name only three). Sadly the murder for profit part is, to say the least, predictable.I can see why the people at Trauma Films . . .er . . .excuse me, I mean Troma Films picked it up. Personally I would rather watch anything done by Harry Novak (yes and I am including AXE and THE CHILD in that group) or even Bill Rebane (give me THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION or even RANA, LEGEND OF SHADOW LAKE any day).

Access Sanctuary What a day. Paul is knocked out by two ugly guards in trench coats. He wakes to find himself in the parlor of a strange house/mansion. As he searches the house, he stumbles upon a bland, clueless blonde who knows more about him than he's comfortable with. Then he's summoned to dinner by what is obviously a man in drag. At dinner, Roberta proposes Paul make love to Stephanie while she watches. This is just too much and Paul tries to make an escape. When he returns to the table, he is spooked to see Roberta has vanished (reason enough to be spooked in any TROMA film). Paul and Stephanie formulate a plan and try to escape from Roberta's evil clutches. Just as they think they've gotten away, they both become equally interested in each other and unknowingly Roberta's watching them. They are taken captive once again by Roberta but as it turns out Roberta just wants Paul to make love to her. Paul is not about to 'do' such an ugly 'chick' but as Roberta commands for the murder of Stephanie, she persuades Paul to see things her way. Now that Roberta finally gets what she wants, what happens but she calls out, "I don't have to go through with this do I? You said it would stop here?"And in response: the panicked Stephanie who is cramped in a maiden (the torture device used in Scotland) suddenly cocks her head back and with a devilish grin replies, "So I did. You can stop now Roberta, darling." Robert takes off his wig and all goes back to normal. So, what is normal you ask? Stephanie is Casey and Paul is Jared. A married, rich couple who engage in eccentric historical 'games' with a kinky and deadly twist, as Casey rehashes in confrontation with her husband. But normal for Casey is not waking in the night to find Robert lurking around in her house, hoping to find some more filthy money. The two come up with their own plan to kill Jared, hide his body, and split his money once he can be declared legally dead. But somebody's playing for keeps, and in this game, everyone loses. Intriguing and imaginatively written. But, unfortunately the production is poor and the cast is collectively less than motivated. Though I would have to say M. R. Murphy did turn in a stunningly captivating performance as the drag-queen, Roberta. Best scene in the movie (got me and my friends cracking up so hard): the close-up shot of Roberta at the table as he says, "Yes, my pet. I like to watch," in a very squeaky and creepy tone. I recommend this movie because it's very much unlike TROMA's gross-out flicks and because it's pretty good in it's so-bad kind of way. The '80's doesn't get any cheesier than this! 'Gag me with a spoon'.

J Lane This film is one of those that is so bad that it is good. Though the best thing to do is watch it late at night when you have had a few bevvies and then it seems OK. Though it is perhaps one of the worst films ever made. But the ending is really worth the wait.

dob-2 This was the worst movie I have ever seen, bar none, and I've seen some honkers. I cannot conceive of how or why it was made. It was pathetically acted, painfully scripted, and all-around stupid.
