made several films together and all of them are nasty little things,
full of mind-games, kink, and hateful, argumentative characters who

lesbian enforcer...

Atmospheric New York psychosexual thriller starring the great Mary
Woronov and directed by her then-husband Ted Gershuny. Mary and Ted
made several films together and all of them are nasty little things,
full of mind-games, kink, and hateful, argumentative characters who
live to screw over everyone in sight. This is the best of their
collaborations. It takes place in the soft white underbelly of the New
York porn industry. A scumbag porno producer accidentally (?) shoots
his biggest star while she fellates his revolver and enlists his
lesbian enforcer (Woronov) to help him cover up the crime and find a
new star. She complies with vigor, and even has a long sex scene with
the new starlet (a high point of the movie.) It's a tense, sick
melodrama full of shifting allegiances, revenge, and triple-crosses.
Also starring busy Lynn Lowry (SHIVERS, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD) and a bunch
of the Warhol stock company. Oliver Stone was an associate producer but
was unable to fuck up this movie. (Lars)
Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
