We all know Debbie Rochon is one of the hottest Scream Queens of all time. However, what makes her a cut above the rest is the fact that she is essentially a character actor trapped in a leading lady’s body. Much of the joy of watching her filmography comes from seeing how she is willing to ham it up and chew the scenery, all the while looking damned good. That joy is what keeps what would otherwise be a hit and miss horror comedy like Killer Rack abreast… err… afloat.
Yes, if you can’t already tell, this movie is about a pair of bloodthirsty boobs. Murderous melons, if you will. Terrifying ta-tas, even. But I digress.
Betty (Jessica Zwolak) is a flat-chested woman who is tired of seeing her less qualified, big-boobed co-workers getting the promotions she deserves. She’s also sick of getting taken for granted by her loser boyfriend. So, she decides to get a boob job. Unluckily for Betty, she goes to see Debbie, who plays a character named “Dr. Cate Thulu”, who gives her boobs that have a murderous mind of their own.
There are some good moments here. Sure, there are also plenty of moments that make your eyes roll (especially the stuff with the knowingly cliched detectives). Then again, when you see Lloyd Kaufman playing a shrink, that kind of goes along with the territory. Fortunately, director Gregory Lamberson (who also made Slime City Massacre with Debbie) keeps things moving at an acceptable clip.
Naturally, the film loses a little steam when Debbie drops out of the narrative in the second act. Still, there’s enough silliness (including one scene that cribs from The Blob remake) to keep you somewhat amused. While it’s not a patch on the definitive killer boob movie, Mausoleum, if you’re a fan of Debbie’s, I’d say you’re in for a mostly enjoyable time.
(Oh, and as a longtime Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan, I dug seeing Betty’s boyfriend’s extensive MST3K DVD collection in the background during their argument scene.)
