PLOT-CRUNCH:
|
|
Hot demon teen babe Veronica (Featherstone) lives in hell with her
parents. After a fight with her dad, she sneaks out of hell and joins us
mortals on earth accompanied by her hell dog "Hellraker". Once
here she falls in love with a gentle doctor (Markel), experiences sex,
looks great in leather and realizes something about earth…there’s as
much evil here than there is in hell.

THE
LOWDOWN: |
|
This is a weird movie. Good weird. It’s a blend of different genres. It’s
a love story…the romance aspect is very strong, it puts "She’s
All That" to shame. It’s a vigilante movie…Veronica starts
punishing the evil she sees around her…rapists, racist cops, corrupt
mayor and it’s a gore film with a nasty vision of hell (people being
whipped, tongues cut off) and extremely gory moments. At first I was a bit
lost as to what the movie was about but the strength of the characters
(specially Veronica) pulls it all together and gives us an unusual,
original, sweet, sometimes funny and deadly film. Lets swim the lakes of
hell together…

| ACTING: |
|
I will begin by saying that Angela Featherstone (Veronica) is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever
seen. With her perfect body, her red hair, her piercing blue eyes and her
full plum lips…she set my heart on fire…Wow…she’s also a great
actress. She balances vulnerability, aggressiveness and naivety perfectly and
creates a fascinating character. Daniel Markel (Max) also pulls it off, he
is sometimes shadowed by Angela’s performance but manages to hold his
own…most of the time…
|
| GORE: |
|
Lots of it. People hacked to pieces, spine
ripped out, hearts ripped out of chests and fed to dog…It’s weird to
see a movie with so many beautiful tender moments filled with so much
graphic violence...
|
| T
& A: |
|
Angela Featherstone shows us her perfect, perky
breasts and her beautiful heart shaped butt. Thank you…Daniel Markel
takes off his shirt to reveal a toned but hairy chest…not my vibe…wax
that chest dude.
|
| DIRECTING: |
|
The director is more comfortable with the soft
moments than the gory ones. The "hell" scene felt a bit awkward but the rest of the film is filled with interesting lighting, some slow
motion and some great camera shots. I love the scene when Veronica first
arrives to earth…it’s beautiful, different and filled with emotion
only a good director can communicate.
|
| SOUNDTRACK: |
|
The score is excellent, soft and soothing….
|
| BOTTOM LINE: |
|
This film is one of a kind…and I reward it’s
creativity and guts. To make such a gory film and still manage to pull
your heart strings at the same time is quite a feat. This is the date
flick for the 90’s…see it with the one you love or a box of kleenex…cause
Angela Featherstone is hotter then hell…
|
| BULL'S EYE: |
|
Angela Featherstone shows up at the end of
"Army Of Darkness", in the supermarket scene. It’s an
uncredited appearance…I wonder if she’s married.
