Clever, Funny, Entertaining, Authentically ridiculous

See it if you like your Film Noir curdled! Ludlum set the standard for 'Little Shop of Horrors', Charles Busch and all that followed; this is gold!

Don't see it if you don't like satires of The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, etc. You either like this or don't! Read more

Absorbing, Funny, Great acting, Entertaining, Clever

See it if You can appreciate the absurd work of Charles Ludlum. Loads of kitsch. Watch out for the piranhas especially their first feeding.

Don't see it if You don't understand Charles Ludlam's work and don't have a sense of humor that includes a dark, wacky, bizarre side.
