We have a nice straight-to-VHS one for you from 1995. Three years after "Dr. Giggles" shocked us, another medical thriller with a major league cheese factor arrived on video. Yep, the sultry Barbara Carrera will end up strapped on a gurney with her clothes ripped off as her boy toy will be prepped for castration. I bet you did not think you'd hear that sentence when you got up this morning. Still, we don't talk about the uber-hot Barbara Carrera enough. Our feature today is "Sawbones," directed by Catherine Cyran.
One of the greatest characters ever put on film is Jenny (Nina Siemaszko). She works in the admissions department of a med school. Her boss is Rita (Carrera) and Rita hates her. The ditz is a contradiction to all the hard working brains at the university and the attached hospital. An under achiever, leads with her T&A, fails at any endeavor she undertakes, and is all slut...until one day. Yep, some weirdo who was rejected for admission at the medical school, Willy (Don Harvey), begins kidnapping people and giving them a drug so they are 100% aware but unable to move. With the victim quite awake, Willy operates on them and removes their internal organs. One day, while driving, and all dolled up, with her BF Brad (Nicholas Sadler), she finds the remains of one of Willy's victims. Because of this she meets hunk detective Burt (Adam Baldwin) and is inspired.
Now, to her great peril, she begins playing detective. Rita will yell at Jenny and humiliate her by stealing Brad. More and more victims will have their organs surgically cut out in Willy's basement and flushed down the toilet. Now Jenny will be in danger of losing her job in the admissions office and also lose her fiancé. Even worse, her brilliant ideas will endanger Rita who is now target #1 for the psycho Willy. Willy has something special planned for Rita, which entails stripping her, and Brad. Now Jenny, a generally good person, will endanger herself by trying to play the hero and saving these two creeps who have made her life miserable. Oh, yes. Detective Burt? Not a great detective, but he and Jenny begin falling in love.
What will Willy do to Rita, the admissions director who rejected him, as she is naked and in bondage? Will Willy turn the tables on Jenny and put her in bondage, as well? Will Jenny and Rita engage in a catfight over the medical student hunk Brad? This is a gory one with a great cheese factor. For a gratuitous look back at straight-to-VHS prurient thrillers, see "Sawbones."
