Review:
This was a somewhat fun if troublesome slice of exploitative genre filmmaking. When it relies on those qualities, this features quite an enjoyable sleazy atmosphere with the generally trashy qualities on display. With plenty of women getting naked or stripping down to engage in anything from nude news telecasts, experimentation sequences with the mad scientist, or just in general hanging out with the girls while they're hanging out together, this one easily sets up a perverted atmosphere that's capitalized on rather well. Not only that, but this extends to the gloriously goofy and silly second half where its horror-film leanings are brought to the forefront as the victims dress up in bondage gear to chase them through the facility killing them one by one. It adds some fun indie-styled kills and attacks in these scenes while still plowing through the sleaze quite frequently which is all perfectly fine and worthwhile for those that appreciate this style.
That said, there are a few issues on display here that hold this one down. The main issue is the film's general randomness which makes everything seems unorganized and improvised without any kind of direction. It comes off much more like things are just happening randomly and that there's no real story here with the way things play out here as being just a random assortment of scenes done in without much of a concept or idea at all. Those who don't mind these features won't be that put off by it but will also have the films' rather obvious low-budget qualities that are featured throughout here. Ranging from the obvious use of stock footage to complete sequences, jarring editing work for the scene transitions, and the usual features mentioned above involving the improvised nature of the film beforehand. These factors don't really have a truly detrimental effect but are enough to drag this down overall.
Overview: **.5/5
Likable enough for what it is, this one manages to get enough positive aspects for those that appreciate this kind of genre effort that is quite fun for the most part. Those that are fans of the style or approach taken here will have a lot to like here, while most others that don’t go this general type of film should heed caution.
