One of my all time favorites.

Just perfect...

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I was a big fan of Paul Talbot's enthusiastically gory debut horror anthology feature "Campfire Tales," so I naturally watched this follow-up fright film omnibus outing expecting a pleasingly gruesome and straightforward ghoulish good time. Fortunately, this lowdown gritty affair doesn't disappoint, for it measures up as a nice'n'nasty little low-budget indie winner.The sturdy wraparound segments center on Tara (a fabulously fiery'n'feisty performance by gorgeous Troma movie regular Debbie Rochon), a deranged murderess who's about to have that fatal onetime only sitting on Old Sparky. Prior to getting strapped, capped and zapped, Tara whiles away her last few hours on earth relating a trio of scary stories inspired by the tortured souls of past inmates to her mean, cruelly impassive jailhouse executioner (gruffly essayed by Gunnar Hansen; Leatherface in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"). First and most unnerving yarn - A young mother shows no concern whatsoever when her two kids mysteriously disappear. The hideously bloated and grotesque spirits of the drowned tots start haunting their mom's dreams and eventually exact a harsh revenge. Second and most ironic vignette - A battered trailerpark housewife uses witchcraft to rid herself of her viciously abusive jerk hick husband, only for things to go disastrously awry -- her brutish hubs transforms from a figurative monster into a literal one! Third and most delightfully trashy anecdote - A rowdy biker gang en route to an annual Mexico drug run stop off at a cemetery to pay their respects to legendary bad-a** motorcycle mama Big Rhonda (busty blonde babe J.J. North). After the expected excessive boozing, doping and making out, Big Rhonda's body comes to life as a gnarled machete-wielding zombie so it can kill the undercover cop posing as one of the dirtbag chopper hounds.Director/co-screenwriter/co-editor Paul Talbot directs with tremendous flair and gusto: he keeps the pace constantly brisk, creates a perfectly spooky atmosphere, lays on the graphic bloodshed by the gleefully explicit bucketful, and stages the shock scenes with lip-smacking brio. Better still, the general tone is grimly serious, with amusingly warped touches of pitch-black humor sprinkled throughout. Paul Cornwell's rough, grainy cinematography contributes greatly to the overall flesh-crawling ooga booga creepiness. Ditto the spare, shivery synthesizer score by Andrew Scott Foust, Eric Martin and Kirk Luther. And the expertly used South Carolina locations give the picture a deliciously tart'n'tangy downhome regional flavor.

This is a great low budget horror anthology from Troma, that's creative, with 3 great stories!. I saw this in the horror section, at the DVD store i go to, and it was on cheap, so i picked it up, but i wasn't expecting much, however what i got was a great Anthology, that was very entertaining, and i will watch it again!. It's also pretty well made, and it had one fantastic performance from Debbie Rochon, plus it was actually quite creepy in places!.1st Story ("Watery Grave"). This is the weakest of the bunch however it's still pretty entertaining, with some creepy mood thrown in,however the acting definitely needed some work,still this is a pretty entertaining story that i enjoyed, the ending was pretty cool too. a solid! Grade B 2nd Story ("White Trash Love Story") This is a very cool story, with bad acting, and dialog, however it's very interesting, and very entertaining, with a really amusing ending,and there were actually a couple moments where i felt sorry for the lead character!. Grade B+3rd story ("Big Rhonda") is the best of the bunch it's extremely entertaining, with decent performances, and a bit of nudity and tame lesbianism, however i liked the flashbacks, and the ending is pretty damn cool, plus it had me in stitches a couple of times Grade A There is quite a bit of blood and gore. We get head bashed in with a rock,very gory stabbings,decapitation,gory transformation,gory impaling with machete,cut off hand,bloody corpses,slit wrists,an ATF slit throat,severed head, and lots of blood!.The Acting is bad, but a lot of fun!.Debbie Rochon is STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS, and is AMAZING here, she is very creepy, extremely convincing, had some awesome lines, and i will never forget that creepy laugh, she was simply amazing!. Gunnar Hansen is pretty good as the executioner and was kinda cool. Rest of the cast range from very bad to decent.Overall i highly recommend this great low budget horror anthology!.***1/2 out of 5

If you are a true Troma fan,you will love this movie. Debbie Rochan showed a great performance. Gunnar Hansen,the original Leatherface, also makes a appearance as their warden. Most of the stories are like most Troma movies with multiple tales of terror(such as chillers), they have a story that is all right and interesting. But they all have a real good ending. Also the ending of the main story is an excellent climax. I give it a 97/100

Let it be said: This movie isn't very good. It runs the gamut from boring to stupid to ugly to cheap. Sometimes it achieves all four of those things at once.It's an anthology flick with three short stories, but they move so slow you'll feel like you're watching a six hour pain-fest. In the first unengaging tale, a woman's kids are missing, and some dull things happen. Then there's "White Trash Love Story", by default the best segment in the movie, although it moves so slow you'll be asleep before the pretty good effects at the climax. Then there's the embarrassing tale of the over-age bikers who try to resurrect the late "Big Rhonda", mainly through some "hot" girl-on-girl action.The film's saving grace is the beautiful Debbie Rochon's fun performance as the jailed serial killer Tara, who spins the pathetic tales of "terror". Luckily this movie is available on DVD, so you can skip directly to her parts in the movie.But you're not gonna wanna even watch that much, because this movie really stinks. It falls below even Troma's admittedly low quality standards. Perhaps if they packed it with ideas like "Tromeo & Juliet" and gave it a sense of humor it would have been bearable, but as it stands, it is a big juicy crap burger.
