Three people with name value (Tony Todd, Cerina Vincent and Gunnar Hansen) star but must be doing a favour for someone as I simply cannot see how they would have been roped into this mess any other way. What threw me was the lack of production value, the movie looks awful despite a surprisingly high budget for a movie of this type. I give a movie a 1 about as often as FOX news report something without bias.
Its a rarity that I give a movie a 1, a 1 is for when a movie literally has absolutely no redeeming features at all and that's hardly a frequent event.
A rather artistic shot of The Photographer running towards the screen barefoot on a road, bleeding at the mouth. Extended scenes of The Photographer driving the strip. After this he says "turn around", then is plays out the same as the DVD version after that. She does, then smacks her own butt and says something like 'these are my best ASSets'. She apologizes, and The Photographer asks her to take off her clothes.
The "bathtub" girl/stripper arriving late. A scene where The Photographer is shown picking up the first prostitutes before the whole "red light, house music, slit throat/choke" scene. The Photographer watching a bizarre film strip of a girl tied on a bed wearing a pig's mask. The Psychic Reading/Killing: The photographer visits a psychic who won't reveal "what the cards say", thus upsetting him and leading to the psychic's strangulation.
Phone Arguement between Jade's sister and The Photographer while at work. The DVD begins with a new credit montage featuring images of characters that will be murdered later in the film, thus spoiling who the victims will be. The theatrical version began with The Photographer taking shots of a bloody corpse. Some of the scenes missing from the new DVD includes:
The original theatrical version (and workprint) of this film ran roughly 15 minutes longer than the new "Director's Cut" DVD of the film.
