PussyCake, George Romero Meshed with HP Lovecraft

Remember Pussy Riot? No? Not a whole lot of talent, I admit.  Vladimir Putin threw them in jail for their failure to develop a third chord and not being able to hold a beat.  Thrown out of Russia, this all girl band keeps getting thrown in jail...alas, central and eastern Europe have no tolerance for horrid music. We are going to look at another all girl band, this one from Argentina...PussyCake.  This 2021 film features four babe rockers beset by zombies, bug creatures, and vomit/semen.  Hold on and fall in love with these girls as we look at "PussyCake," directed by Pablo Pares.

A mad scientist creates a machine and discovers an alternate universe.  Yep...he gets sucked into it.  Trying to bring his dad back, the scientist's son restarts the machine and dad comes back.  Uh oh...dad isn't the same.  Double uh oh...he wasn't the only thing that came through. Okay...PussyCake...they can't sing, either. Fortunately in Argentina, no one cares.  Evita Peron really ruined that country. Never mind! Four babes, who can't sing, are lead singer Elle (Marcarena Saurez), Sara (Aldana Ruberto), Juli (Sofia Rossi), and Sofi (Anahi Politi). Them and their manager, Pato (Flor Moreno), are headed to a gig.  The gig just happens to be in the affected area of where this parallel universe has been sucked into ours. The babes' van breaks down and are right away attacked by Pato's contact Simon (Amanda Nara), only he isn't Simon anymore.

Okay...whatever came through the portal has taken over the town. Zombies patrol. These ghouls vomit in the mouths of humans thus impregnating them with monster bug eggs...happens. The gals are the only humans left unaffected...this won't last.  The babes run, scream, and are vomited on. Ghouls and little bug creatures are on the prowl for them. Oh yeah...did I mention Elle and Sara are lovers? Not that that is important. Poor Juli...she'll get it first...but what happens to her will shock you.  Now a weird hulking monster has also joined the hunt...and he seems to want the dames for some other reason.  The band finds weapons and try to fight back.  What they will discover will be more than horrifying and revolting.

Do any of these babes have a prayer of still being babes by the time the end credits roll?  Will Elle and Sara still want to swap spit after ghouls vomit down their throats?  However inept these beauties are with vocals, keyboards, and strings...will they make up for it in adeptness with machetes and crossbows?  Didn't the Bengals go through something similar?  You must see this film!  Perhaps a metaphor for the awful turn Rock music has taken in the 21st century, or maybe just a vehicle to portray hot babes in much peril. Either way...see "PussyCake."
