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:

ReplyDeletethere'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.
ReplyDeletei 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.
ReplyDeleteLQ's scenes. she's in most of the wrap-up.
