A couple rent two dvds from their local video-store (which is the 'Rare Flix' store in NJ, but is supposed to be another nameless store in the film I guess) despite the warnings that they return the movies no later then midnight because they have a rather strict late fee. Anyways, the couple returns home to watch said films (which we are, i hesitate to say treated to so I'll just say forced to watch as well) one has to do with a woman luring random guys back to a seedy motel, the other revolves around a girl getting thrown in a weird jail. Both of them are amateurish in the worst possible way.
Apparently both short films were already made and the 'movie' just cobbled a horrible wrap- around segment to showcase them. To make matters worse both shorts are quasi-sequels to two other films. 'The Pick-Up' follows the atrocious "Flesh for the Beast" and 'Damnation' follows the almost equally rancid "Shadow: Dead Riot". Naturally this would be quite confusing for anyone who hasn't seen either of those aforementioned films (and if you didn't, trust me I truly envy you) As an aside, why the couple would rent two films both sequels to films they've never seen before is never explained. But long story short (too late), don't rent this. It's excruciatingly bad.
My Grade: F
Media Blasters DVD Extras: a 6 minute Behind-the-scenes featurette; 'the Cutting Room floor' (15 worthless minutes of 'found' TV footage); photo gallery; TV spot for Rare Flix; and trailers for "The Devil's Hostage", "The Pick Up", "Wicked Lake", "Shadow Dead Riot" & "Flesh of the Beast"
