Review:
Okay, the film is not as bad as some make it out to be. Yes, the editing is a little sloppy. And yes, some parts are chopped out (though I would never know if I hadn't read about it). But the acting and plot and everything else are just fine. It's a story of a stripper who gets disfigured in a car accident (not unlike the car accident in "Carnival of Souls") and is taken in by a scientist who has invented "Derma 28" which can cure all skin blemishes and maybe even cancer. As you can expect fro ma horror film, something goes wrong and hilarity ensues. There is one big twist in the middle I never saw coming and I loved it.
This film is worth watching if you're a horror buff, but otherwise has little to offer. It works great as a smoking game, not unlike "In the Mouth of Madness" due to the 20 times that a character talks about their need to smoke. Strangely, i none scene a man asks to go outside to smoke when he's sitting next to a man inside smoking. But maybe that's the polite thing to do. Oh, and there's not a single vampire in this movie.
