I think this might be the worst movie Ed Wood ever made. What's weird is that he's known for making movies with cheesy special effects. Those are always a laugh. I was disappointed that this movie was mundane and didn't have any monsters or anything. It seems like this was the one Ed Wood movie I hadn't heard of. It manages to not even by laughable by his standards. The story is just way too boring. It's weird looking back at this film and remembering the Hays Code. Never heard of it? Before movie ratings in 1968, it was the standard for film censorship. It's just so strange to see scantily clad women being labeled as "pornography".
They mostly use the term "smut" so it surprised me at the end when they did explicitly say "pornography". I'm certain porn was never even illegal. This was just way too ridiculous to even care about. The story is that there's a killer stalking women working in these roles. As expected from a B-movie, it moves very slowly and has had bad acting. It's just hard to even find that much to be amused by and I know Ed Wood could do better...or worse? *
