While this film is by no means great (or terrible), it certainly remains one of the most disturbing from the gore wave of the '80s. The leading lady deserves a lot of credit for creating an iconic character. She is attractive, revolting, monstrous and pitiful all at once. Overall, the film is pretty sickening, rising above the level of utter hack schlock, but lacking the nuance to make it work. Bride of Reanimator is ultimately the more disgusting femme outing, but this one came closer to doing something worthwhile.
