CGiii Comment

Porn star John Holmes is given another outing - with even more unpleasant characters.

The film itself is a rather long litany of monotony - if you know anything about the Wonderland murders - this will reveal nothing new.

It plods wearily to an ending that remains unresolved.

Cluttered with film-student gimmicks, it deserved to slip under the radar - simply, not a good film.

The(ir) Blurb...

John Holmes was a legend of the porn industry and revered in circles as a stud. But in 1981, years after his successful career and star fading, Holmes was a desperate man with his own internal demons to live up to. He's estranged from his wife, holding onto a relationship with his teenage mistress, and living as a junkie in search of his next fix. But one fateful night left four people dead and John as a key suspect in one of the most grisly murders in Los Angeles. Was he partly responsible for what happened at Wonderland Avenue?
