Critic Reviews

Its own mythology aside, this flamboyant, graphic and disturbing quasi-docu reenactment of a notorious chapter in U.S. counterculture life is a fascinating if peculiar accomplishment.Full Review

Dennis Harvey
Variety

This is not a "horror" film or an "underground" film, but an act of transgression so extreme and uncompromised, and yet so amateurish and sloppy, that it exists in a category of one film -- this film.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Hard, ugly and nasty yet a stylistically vigorous and often insightful piece of work.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

Van Bebber's film is tough, difficult, sporadically brilliant cinema, to be sure, and I doubt he'd have had it any other way. And as strange as it may sound, neither should the audience.Full Review

Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle

The film evokes how homicide became the ultimate orgasm for kids who had turned themselves into zombies of flesh.Full Review
