Psychedelic to the max! Hallucinatory, like a bad trip! This film was purportedly made in 1972 and never released because of the arrest of the moviemaker...until 30 years later. Good story, but fiction. This 2005 film is made in the style that it really looks like a 1972 film. Babes behaving badly, drugs abound, murder aplenty, and eventually a lot of gore...today we look at "Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun," directed by Vin Crease.
The sultry Jennifer (Cheryl Dent) is a porn actress that goes bananas while being boinked from behind during the shooting of one of these adult films. After almost murdering her "co-star" (Pancho Moler), she is sent to an asylum for the criminally insane. Against better judgment, Jennifer is released after six months. On her way home she is found by a group of hippies led by the polio-stricken Damon (Crease). Also in the hippie cult are three sultry lesbians, Sabbath (Heather J. Adams), Guilty Karma (Ryan Rogoff), and Violence (Michele Morrow). Jennifer's first night with her new friends sees her doing peyote with them. The hallucinations start and awful memories return. Can you guess where this is going?
Jennifer starts remembering her sister who died when she was a little girl. A drowning accident...or did Jennifer murder her? The hippies do what hippies do and drugs are dealt like playing cards and soon one by one they will be gutted and ripped apart. Jennifer insists she is not the killer, then again, what do you expect her to say. When Sabbath is killed, Guilty and Violence suggest a seance...like that's going to be productive. The hippie clan decreases and Jennifer is the number one suspect. What follows are more hallucinogenic trips, bad dreams, ghosts, specters with ominous warnings, and more gore.
Is Jennifer the killer? Is it ever a good idea to adopt a porn star who is criminally insane into your club? I'm asking for a friend. Can people tripping on peyote and acid ever see real ghosts? Weird, psychedelic, and gory, this film has a nice cheese factor and a huge death count. For something a little different, see "Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun."
