one big laugh comes at the start: on the set of a low-budget slasher, the girl runs around a couch and falls over in the corner. of some interest to '80s pov-row fanatics. stars delia sheppard, robert quarry and, with a single-name credit, "linnea". (did that start/end here?)
I own this DVD. Watched it once, thought it was ho-hum and stuck it in the closet somewhere. I'll need to sit through it again eventually. I do believe the singular "Linnea" began and ended right here!
I saw someone uploaded that to Youtube but the quality was so awful I didn't even bother. It's supposed to be bad but the cast is pretty good so I thought about suffering through it anyway. Have you watched it?
it's odd. a dialogue heavy script, and the material's not that bad. a little stale, maybe. lacks punch. the big name-cast should help, but they really don't. it doesn't work. the guy who put up the money is one of the leads, and he took story/writing (?) and directing credits he shouldn't have. the actual director, mark byers, also made CRIMNAL ACT/TUNNELS (1989).
there's a small piece on the film here which helps explain things:

there's at least one more: DIGGIN' UP BUSINESS (1990). she plays an... enthusiastic mortuary makeup artist.

Well that was painful to read! Lots of clashing egos ruining what could have been at least passable.
i didn't mind watching it. had been on my want-list forever (mainly for linnea & dawn wildsmith), so it got a boost just from that.
LQ's scenes. she's in most of the wrap-up.

That print is actually much better than the other I had stumbled upon, right here:
