I love movies like this even more than I used to because it is not PC and they tend to make feminists angry.
Don Jones directed this twisted little film about two brothers, Frank Barrows (Gary Kent) and John Barrows (John Parker) who live with their mother in a secluded orchard home.
Mama thinks all pretty girls are evil so she has her sons kidnap women and keep them chained in their cellar and use them as play toys. One of the captives is ill and so they two men decide to find another play toy for the childish John.
The first woman they kidnap is shot and killed hours after she is brought to the home after she attempts to escape. John soon sets his sights on a beautiful young woman named Bonnie (Cheryl Waters). They kidnap her and this leads to their demise as she is no pushover and her boyfriend is also looking for her.
This is the kind of film people are talking about when they say grind-house. It's total sleaze and exploitation, yet believe me there is nothing wrong with that. Kent and Parker do very well in their roles as a psychotic mama's boy and a childish freak respectively.
There are some amazing scenes in this film and the revelation about mother will surprise some, but not everyone. The Code Red presentation is beautiful and it is easily the best I have ever seen this film look.
One the disc there is also an interview with director Don Jones and actor Gary Kent. They share a few interesting behind the scenes stories. The one I found most interesting is that Cheryl Waters, who was a VERY attractive woman had her boyfriend on the set and he was nothing but problems because he was the very jealous type. I found that very interesting as I was also involved in something like that when making a film. NEVER HAVE A BOYFRIEND ON THE SET....lol.
Anyway, if you're looking for REAL grind-house material, this is the real deal. RECOMMENDED!!
