A delightfully twisted horror anthology treat

[Woodyanders · 8/10 · 14 November 2012]

Deranged homemaker Leyla Barker (gorgeous scream queen Tiffany Shepis in peak loopy form) relates three tales of terror pertaining to the dark secrets and demented residents of the suburban community of Kronanburg. First and most lighthearted yarn, "Hypochondriac" - Neurotic big city physician Dr. Oliver Combs (an amusingly uptight turn by Marv Blauvelt) gets more than he bargained for from a motley assortment of crazy patients when decides to practice his profession in Kronanburg. This episode rates as the silliest of the bunch, although it still entertains thanks to a nice line in quirky gallows humor and sidesplitting contributions from Raine Brown as sassy slut Nurse Amber Lovejoy and Alan Rowe Kelly as batty old biddy Charity Betencourt. Second, most sick, and racy vignette, "Anti-Bodies" - Evil mother Susanna Sullivan (a deliciously bawdy Brigid Macauley) forces her comely daughter Aimee (a sympathetic portrayal by the lovely Kaylee Williams) to have sex with various sleazy paying dudes. This outing benefits tremendously from a funky sci-fi twist; there's a nasty and deviant edge to the plot that gives it an extra perverse sting. Third and most nightmarish segment, "Lewis" - Troubled young mom Amanda Reece (well played by Deneen Melody) and her daughter Aubrey (adorable Taylor Metzger) return to Kronanburg only to discover that the strange townspeople have very nefarious plans in store for both of them. The potently creepy atmosphere of this one culminates in one doozy of a startling surprise bummer ending, plus Susan Adriensen makes a strong impression as the sinister Sister Louise. Besides the expected plentiful graphic gore, sex, and nudity (male and female alike!), this picture offers such choice depraved stuff as incest, homicidal maniacs, flesh-eating aliens, cannibalism, zombies, and demonic religious cults in order to satisfy the warped needs of even the most jaded and demanding fright film aficionado. A perfectly ghastly and gruesome good time.
