PURCHASE THE DVD: Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun (2004)

The first thing that strikes you about this 2005 comedy/horror film is that it looks like it was made in the early 70's. The second thing that strikes you, as the movie progresses, is that it's a pretty good movie.....B-movie, sure, but good nonetheless.

Jennifer is part of a porno shoot (she's the female partner) when she suddenly goes postal, kicks the male partner in the cods, and tries to gouge out his eyes.

Sent to a mental institution and claiming she can't remember anything about the incident, she is released after 6 months, and having nowhere to go, winds up out in the desert, where her car is run off the road by two yahoos bent on a little fun. As she is trying to escape from the two guys, she is rescued by a group of hippies.

With her car disabled, she joins the group. Things go well enough, with Jennifer enjoying the drugs and other activities, until a ghostlike group of "figures" starts killing off the band one by one.....or is Jennifer doing the killing?

Surprisingly well-done and enjoyable film, with a slick if predictable ending.
