merklekranz Review of Hideous!

Hideous! (1997)

A topless babe wearing a gorilla mask is the highlight ..............

[5/10 · 2 November 2010]

You'll have to decide, if a topless babe (Jacqueline Lovell) wearing a gorilla mask, running around in the snow, is enough incentive to watch "Hideous"? There is fertile ground for plenty of dark humor, as two fanatical collectors of unique biological oddities compete for a prized specimen. When the gorilla masked accomplice of one collector steals the oddity, the other hires a detective (Jerry O'Donnell) to find it. If you close your eyes when the detective is talking, you would swear Tom Sizemore had just walked into the movie. In the end the film degenerates into total silliness, but at least the Tom Sizemore impersonator and the topless gorilla babe make a connection, and seem totally right for each other. - MERK
