Kill the Scream Queen
is a neo-snuff movie that tries to be edgy and realistic, but only succeeds in
being repetitive and boring. It follows
the exploits of a killer (writer/director Bill Zebub) as he lures women to an
abandoned strip club, makes them disrobe for the camera, ties them up, rapes
them, and kills them. That’s about it as
far as the “plot” goes.
Although it features
a lot of nudity, none of this is remotely sexy.
It also contains a lot of blood, but it’s not scary either. The skull mask the killer wears is pretty
stupid too. (It looks like Skeletor’s
drunk cousin.)
For a movie called
Kill the Scream Queen, the film is woefully light on actual Scream Queens. The only legitimate Scream Queen in the cast
is Debbie Dutch. Unfortunately, she doesn’t
stick around long enough for you to get your Scream Queen fix.
The movie is only 75
minutes long, but you’ll swear it was longer.
To pad out the running time, Zebub uses a lot of slow motion, puts in a
lot of useless outtakes during the end credits, and spends a long time lingering
on the artwork of the club (it looks like something off the side of a detailed
van from the ‘70s). Even though it’s
cruddy in just about every respect, the sheer amount of boobs in this thing is
enough to save it from being a One Star flick.
