Shelley Winters. Pat Paulsen. Music by Charley Pride. You'd think with that much talent a film would be at least watchable. You would be wrong.
As a fan of amateurish movies I am immune to bad dialogue, poor acting and awful camera work - all of which this movie contains. What really sinks this one is repetition and a lack of characters to identify with.
*spoiler warning* The cycle repeats itself five times. Ellie's father is seduced, murdered, jump cut to the funeral. As revenge Ellie seduces, murders, and jump cuts to the funeral her stepmother's three sons and alleged brother.
There's a B plot about the town Sheriff (Paulsen) lusting after the stepmother, Cora (Winters), that provides the "happy" ending where Ellie blackmails Cora into marrying the Sheriff as her final act of vengeance.
Calling this film a sex comedy is misleading. There's no actual sex, just a lot of teasing and running around in various stages of undress. The comedy in the film comes in two flavors: attempted rape and poorly executed slapstick.
The VHS is thankfully out of print. If you must have it, it is part of a triple feature on a Troma DVD entitled Sgt. Kabukiman's Southern Fried Comedy Jam along with Preacherman (B-grade goodness) and Hot Summer in Barefoot County (B-grade okayness).
