This is insultingly bad. It’s stupid and broad enough that it seems for all the world like a children’s movie, with rubber costume demons, the thinnest possible plot, paper-thin overplayed characters, and basically an overall impression of having been put together by high school students—but it has explicit (if very cheap-looking) gore and heavy sexuality (if all heavy, panting lesbian frottage and not so much as a nipple), and a honest-to-god rape scene.
Girl gets bullied, and the devil, in the form of a woman in an evening gown who occasionally wears a rubber devil mask, decides she likes her, and kills them all in ways that are stupidly broad. Like, one of the popular girls picks on her in school, and a moment later, at her locker, is pushed by a rubber demon hand into a never-explained “Satan-y” place of some sort—which looks like a teenager with a $200 budget was sent to the Halloween store to decorate the set—and tied to a big wooden spiderweb and run through in a comically gory way with a chainsaw. Nobody ever seems to notice she’s gone, the movie doesn’t worry about little details like realism or anything.
Picture if Buffy the Vampire Slayer wasn’t clever at all, and was aimed at 13 year olds, and was hamfistedly gory, or at least whatever $200 at the Halloween store can buy that resembles gory, and you’d be getting towards the right neighborhood.
Now picture Satan as a floozy porn actress in a limo, saying to a high school girl, “How about instead of going to rehab, we PARTY LIKE ROCK STARS?”, whipping out a bottle of champagne and letting out a totally unconvincing war whoop that would have embarrassed even Howard Dean.
Now you’ve got it.
Plus, Michael Madsen is in it. I can’t figure out what that guy’s deal is anymore.
