How this inspired Tim Burton still puzzles me
13 March 2006
Me friend works at a videostore and recommended this movie to me saying it was the film that inspired Tim Burton to make films. I decided I'd give it a fair chance, as I do with most movies, but I honestly couldn't do it.

I expected a somewhat bizarre movie, but this movie seemed to have no point. I turned it off half way through, so I can't comment on the conclusion (which means, no chance of ruining it) but here are a few things that caught my attention in the film. WARNING: the following 4 - 5 lines may be considered a spoiler by some, although I highly doubt it.

Some of the women in the movie were played by horribly cross-dressed men. A guy who was killed in one scene came back to life in the next. All of the women in the Forbidden Zone run around topless. The first scene in the movie has nothing to do with the film and serves only to mention that the house was once owned by a pimp.

My friend who recommended it has watched it three times and still cannot find any hidden symbolism or purpose to the film. The acting is horrible (as can be expected with a low budget film), the sound effects are corny and the plot is nearly non-existent.

My Recommendation: Don't waste an hour and a half of your life, don't watch it.
