**Niche spoof film that completely delivers, so long as you love Giallo.** I went into this film knowing absolutely nothing except that it was a horror film by Canadian film making collective Astron 6. What a complete delight this film was. Hilarious, weird, and totally camp in all the right ways. This film is a spoof/homage to the classic 70s Italian slasher genre Giallo. It completely nails the genre in every aspect. The ridiculous over the top acting, bad over-dubbing, often nonsensical plots, bad gore effects with bright red blood, casual misogyny, bizarre dialogue, homo-eroticism. This film has it all. If you aren't familiar with the genre this will come across as a weird poorly made grindhouse film, but if you are well versed in Italian slashers you will appreciate all the leather trench coats, gloved hands and shiny bladed knives. A must see for fans of Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci and Sergio Martino
