Movie Reviews of Hideous!Movie Review: Leather shorts, hiking boots, and a gorilla mask Summary: 5 Stars
The plot is simple: biological freaks vs collectors-- freaks 4, collectors 0.
I loved this movie. In fact, as soon as I saw it I ran right back to Amazon and lost no time buying HEAD OF THE FAMILY, which is isn't as good, but still amuses. Jacqueline Lovell picks up this movie and walks off with it. Watch it with friends. We laughed, we groaned, we pointed out mistakes, and we all fell in love with Lovell's Sheila character. Anyone can be a highwayperson but how many do it in the dead of winter amidst a snow covered landscape dressed ONLY in hiking boots, leather shorts and a gorilla mask? Definately a first for me. However erotic many may have thought this scene, I found it full of fun and was one of those 'touches' that make a movie better.
The effects were laughable, which made the movie even more fun although I would like to have seen what they could have done with a bigger budget. I was totally impressed with the acting. Tracie May was fantastic as the 'middleman' in the genetic oddity business. Her customers, Michael Citrinti and Mel Johnson, Jr. were perfect fanatics. "Elvina" and the P.I. were great in their roles and, once again, surprisingly good actors. The castle in which most the action takes place was also impressive.
The only lack in this little flick was the special effects, but the fun more than made up for it.
Summary of Hideous!Dr. Lorca and eccentric collector of biological oddities has just acquired his greatest specimen: a horrible mutant born of noxious waste but the creatures rightful owner wants it back. The collectors clash is cut short though as the sickening specimen comes to life.
