Acting

Heidi Fleiss delivers exactly the performance you'd expect from Heidi Fleiss.

Best for:Friends: Drunk group roast session required for full appreciation.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while occasionally looking up confused.·Rewatch: Annual tradition for bad movie cultists only.
Heads up:Violence: B-movie blood spray and rubber monster attacks, nothing convincing.·Sexual Content: Brief exploitation elements typical of 2004 direct-to-video horror.
