Supposé perdu depuis sa sortie sur une salle au Texas, Grindhouse Releasing fait surgir ce qui est suppose être "un des plus mauvais films jamais tournés".
A en voir le film annonce, cela semble en effet assez gratiné. Le film a été présenté dans sa version restaurée le 20 janvier dernier a Dallas, avec une critique indiquant que le film fait de Tommy Wiseau un Fellini a cote de ce truc
“A movie for those who always wondered what Ben from BLUE VELVET got up to in his spare time. The work of a genuinely unwell mind, possibly the ultimate Dallas-shot trashterpiece. Soundtrack unironically slaps.”
“The product of a demented, disjointed psyche…This is TRULY one for the sickos. A masochist’s delight.”
“I have no idea what the f*ck I just watched, it’s incomprehensible, but I think Rockey deserves credit for making an entertaining film, and not just because it’s completely and absurdly ass. There’s a lot of meta commentary that makes me believe he knew what he was doing. It’s not just the fugishi ball!! And you know good for him, also good for you if you have the exquisite taste to enjoy this. For real, there’s something so uplifting about no budget regional cinema. It’s the passion and the no-fucks-given attitude…This was considered a lost film for a long time, so I do recommend fans of regional and independent cinema pick up a copy of this from Grindhouse Releasing.“
