This film was popular at the New Zealand International Film Festival. Obviously its a film that doesnt take itself too seriously so if you expect a real thriller and ar eunable to recognise or enjoy the other genres its probably not for you. I would say its more aimed at those who like 80s films. A lot of the references and in particular the portrayal of LGBT culture makes more sense when you see it as if its in the 80s. If you like humour and puns in your slasher movies aswell as LGBT themes you may well enjoy it but equally some of the film is pretty heavy actually if you were to think about the grotesqueness of some of what occurs (themes of murder, rape,disfigurement) . The film is at times bizarre and although it uses humour to portray the seedy and cheesy side of making porn it does also delve into deeper themes, particularly in relation to the emotions involved in breakdowns of a lesbian relationship. As a lesbian myself I thought the emotions involved were explored quite well on screen, particularly when you are able to interpret the meanings behind what some of the scenes show you can see the common themes.
The main character was I felt was portrayed sometimes deliberatly in a way that made her less likeable which made the character development more interesting and made you question things in the movie.
I like how it wasnt your typical trashy slasher film in that it had some nuances of fantasy in the story telling too. The portrayal of the erotic scenes used humour well, most people in the cinema laughed at the humour in the film.
