Viewing Notes

get this and Zombie Lake mixed up. Both are similar and similarly bad. I don’t share the same overwhelming disdain for this movie by Franco but I can see why most don’t care for it. It’s not a good movie at all but the weirdness of the story and how it’s told is enough. Not one I’d revisit but not the worst thing I’ve seen.

The more movies I’ve watched by Franco the less of a fan of his work I’ve become. Didn’t care of Zombie Lake so I doubt I’ll like this one either, though it’s in my queue.

Well I actually like Rollin’s Zombie Lake despite that one not being a good film. This film is even worse. Meandering and oddly edited. But yeah haven’t seen a lot by Franco that I like. Venus in Furs is pretty wild but more misses than hits.
