Lots to see...unless you want intelligence., 13 May 2007
6/10
Author: haildevilman from Tokyo, Japan

I almost admire this.

It KNEW it stunk from the git-go. So they piled everything they could think of into the film so we wouldn't realize it. They almost got away with it. Almost.

Witch Doctor/Lunatic kills people during Mardi Gras. Mystery and terror ensue. In that order.

The Mardi Gras setting gave it excuses to show all types of weirdness. This is the films' success. Hot women, bikers, street performers making asses of themselves, it's a grindhouse fan's feast.

The mystery itself was bare bones, the extras made it watchable. All one did was predict the next one to get pierced.

Worth a look just for the party scenes...and the women.
