This movie didn't have much to offer in the way of well, anything.
Everything's kind of played for laughs and made in the semi-surreal documentary style of filming that was sort of in vogue at the time.
The acting was OK by everyone except Yaphett Kotto who never has learned how to not overact. You can argue that he's supposed to be playing a maniac, yet he acts the same in every movie he's been in.
I had high hopes for this movie, Larry Cohen's directorial debut, Yapphet Kotto playing a racist homicidal rapist, etc. But Kotto seems about as harmless as a parakeet and the story is just very flat. Just mediocre all the way around.
