Several psychopaths wreak all kinds of bloodthirsty mayhem over the course of a single night in the wake of the execution of serial killer Starkweather (a lively cameo by Larry Fessenden).
Granted, the slight story doesn't add up to much, but writer/director Mickey Keating more than compensates for this with an astounding surplus of dazzlingly gaudy and trippy psychedelic style, an engaging flip'n'hip tone, a wickedly funny sense of pitch-black humor, and a great groovy retro soundtrack. The moments of sadistic bloody violence pack a jolting punch. Moreover, it's acted with tremendous gusto by an enthusiastic cast, with especially stand-out contributions from Ashley Bell as spunky schizophrenic Alice, Mark Kassen as the luckless George, Jeremy Gardner as an obnoxiously hearty cop, James Landry Herbert as a suave mad strangler, and Angela Trimbur as lethal, but enticing seductress Blondie. Good twisted fun.
