CGiii Comment

Being based on La Bruce's short stories is advance warning that this could be utter crap.

Take the warning: because, it is utter crap.

It reeks of exploitation, desperate people who will bare all...just to be in a movie. It is rather sickening.

Palmer displays a less than mediocre talent for direction - the script is lame...although some of the actors do the best they can with such impotency.

The only good thing to say about this is...thank God La Bruce did not direct it...you never know...it may have improved upon some bad shit!
