In a throwback to early 1970s drive-in epics, today we look at a vicious psycho-sexual bloodfest. First off, we have a film by one of this blog's favorite directors, Brad Sykes, and one of our favorite actors Jack Wareing. Enough said. But let us say more, anyway. One has to admire actress Angela Ford who has one hell of a role. The beset blonde will have much vicious sex, be beat up, humiliated, and give us a great shower and bikini scene. She'll make us forget about Mr. Sykes and Mr. Wareing. Anyway, let us take a look at 2001's "Mad Jack."
Blonde babe Angel (Ford) and dweeb Peter (Christopher Rydman) are driving through the Mojave Desert on the way to their honeymoon. She's still in her wedding dress and goes down on Peter while he's driving. Never a good idea. A near head on collision and the couple meet psycho killer Jack (Wareing). We've seen him kill once, already. He has a penchant for murdering beautiful women during sex. Now the unknowing newlyweds offer to give Jack a ride into town...never a good idea. Uh oh...Jack and Angel seem to have an attraction for one another and Peter feels threatened. After some uncomfortable moments, Jack ends up checking into an adjacent motel room. Peter wants sex with his bride and so does Jack. Jack will do anything to stop Peter from consummating the marriage.
Our killer murders a pretty maid (Florencia Gallaraga) during sex. A very gratuitous scene. Now Peter, sensing Jack is dangerous, orders Angel to stay away from him. This won't happen and a fight scene at the swimming pool ensues. Now Jack is bent on taking Angel from Peter. The dweeb that Peter is, this seems likely. What follows is steamy and brutal sex. Intense arguing. More fighting. More murder. Yep, Jack has a homicidal and erotic back story and we'll be let in on it. Oh! The ending! Wow! Why more movies don't end this way is a mystery to me. You'll be yelling, "Oh, cool!"
Does Peter have any prayer at holding onto his bride? Does Angel have any prayer at surviving until the end credits? Is the character of Jack the taboo and hidden fantasy of every woman out there who are married to dweebs? For a vicious, bloody, erotic, psycho-killer tale, see "Mad Jack."
Thanks for the great review! Mad Jack was my first feature film and we shot it in 7 days in the Mojave desert area so a lot of the intensity you see on screen is a carry-over from the day to day life we were living off screen. Our final day of shooting was literally 24 hours strait! Very intense. I will be releasing the 'Un-Rated' version of my second feature film 'Lord of the Vampires this 'Summer 2023' on my YouTube channel i.e. Jack Wareing Films
