Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Where most Winner films go straight from offensive to forgotten, this teenager-in-peril movie went from forgotten to such deep obscurity that it's often missing even from Winner filmographies. Snoopy teen Christie finds out that cheating on her mother is the least sinister thing her stepfather is up to. He's planning to dispose of Mom and doesn't mind including Christie in the deal. She tells the police. They all laughed, and you will too. Expect gory exits for almost-famous indifferent actors and a haphazard sense of plot logic and camera placement.Author: DO
