The movie starts out letting us know 2 guys are going to break into a home, then it goes into a flashback to one week earlier. These two men, Dexter and Royce (Scott Speedman, Wes Bentley) owe $1700 to a drug dealer (Raoul Bhaneja), but can't pay. Rather than getting their thumbs broken, they agree to sell drugs for him. Bently's girlfriend is also a $50 escort, but not a hooker. She has an idea. She knows a rich guy who is sick and out of town. His house will be empty for a week, and she knows the combination to his safe. They simply go in and take the money and pay off the drug dealer.
Bam! Next scene, the girl (Taryn Manning) is on the floor dead. She OD by taking all the dope the guys were supposed to sell. At this point I am hooked on the movie. Kudos. Now I am wondering why her picture is on the cover? Is this another Steven Seagal in "Executive Decision?" They opt to bury the dead hooker in the basement of a building (drive-in movie) they were formally employed. While they are digging a hole in the dirt basement floor, a group of Satanists, including their former employer(Matt Frewer), is performing a human sacrifice upstairs. Time to hit the pause button, take another hit, and think about what is happening and where this is going.
Okay after a few mispronounced "ave satanas" chants, some spilled blood and our dead hooker is alive and in a quick cat fight with a girl (Maggie Castle) in a plaid "school girl" skirt.
Not being the brightest bulbs in the pack they opt to rob the deserted house only to find it is not only deserted, but they forgot to bring the paper with the combination on it. At one point our duo is held captive by a midget mall cop (Jordan Prentice who was Howard T. Duck). I think you get the idea. Cult movie.
MF, F-bomb, adult themes, a little bit of drug use (just every other scene), no nudity, Canadian.
score 10/10
