And sucking at that too!
This is just incredibly awful film making by some decent names.
The script is really amateur dreck so there is nothing for anyone to work with. Lines such as "I guess I am a widow"...delivered by Sylvia Kristel like she is reading a teleprompter for the first time...are what Dracula's Widow utters one hundred years later upon learning that Helsing's grandfather killed Dracula. Yep, I'm a centuries old vampire who kills people and drinks their blood...and what I care about is whether I am a widow.
The director and crew were toally incapable of filming any motion. EVERY THESPIAN MUGS TO THE CAMERA IN SOME POSE WHILE DELIVERING BAD LINES! The viewer ends up watching the same 6 people mugging and hamming it up to "build tension" with terrible dialog.
The music contains blatant ripoffs of other films to accent the "build the tenison." I kept hearing Videodrome eerie music over and over and over again.
And what "tension is built?" NOTHING! Tension between 2 detectives who banter at each other about whose case it is with lines such as "I don't know how you became my boss because it sure wasn't because you are a good cop" or "You're through! You'll never work as a cop again!" delivered mugging to the camera while sitting in a 50 cent set smoking a cigarette to look tough.
Every male who hit puberty in the 1970's knew that Sylvia Kristel was the hot Euro babe for the forbidden Emmnuelle flicks. She ain't like that here. It's just stiff necked awful acting in the same outfit! Good golly the crotch rot from outfit never changing must be awful...and it would still be better than her acting!
Every character is an unbelievable low budget DORK! Male and female. They all act stupid and no empathy with the viewer is developed.
Ed Wood did it better.
