Killer pits!

With a plot that focuses on a woman with blood sucking arm-pits you?d think this film would have a lot going for it (well I did!). However what you get is a rather sub-par flick that lacks any real punch and to be truthful probably only attracted an audience in the 70s because of the presence of porn starlet Marilyn Chambers. Although to be fair to Ms Chambers she?s the only one that turns in a decent performance, since most of the cast seem to be either uninterested or, if in Frank Moore?s case, try not to be mistaken for being part of scenery.

The film does have some interesting moments (the whole ?phallic? arm-pit thing certainly provides an interesting talking point) but the film is poorly paced and a little more than frayed around the edges. However, if you are a Cronenberg fan then I suppose it's worth checking out to see the influences on his earlier work and how he has developed certain themes. Otherwise it provides a decent enough watch to pass an hour or so away and you get the added bonus of seeing Ms Chambers in all her naked glory.

2 and a half out of 5.
