A pretentious pseudo-parody of a serial-killer movie.

The measure of this film's failure is that when the nasty stuff happens, we don't laugh and we really don't care.

As lifeless as the corpses that pile up in mousy Carol Kane's basement.

Extra points for liberal use of chicken innards as wholesale gore. Minus points for not being funny enough.

No terror or suspense occupies this tired, gloomy vacuum, not to mention wit or humor.

Despite running only 81 minutes, Sherman's debut feels distended, perhaps because it flutters around from black comedy to Grand Guignol to character study, rarely touching down on any of the above.

It can't decide what it wants to be -- slasher fest, social satire or revenge comedy -- and ends up being an awkward goulash.

Trashy, stupid, schlock-y, and completely dull.

Some of this is insulting, all of it is tedious.

It's more disturbing than finding half a cockroach in a Fluffernutter sandwich.

The film opens with some intriguing and old-fashioned credits set to an ominous score. That’s the high point.

It doesn't offer a single moment of visceral or emotional electricity.

A wry and intellectual romp through B-movie cliches -- without stinting on the gore and mayhem.
