Review of Electra

Electra (1996)
Bad
31 January 1999
Seriously, someone needs to be taken out and shot for this movie. It's funny, I checked it out, this movie wasn't even shot in Watertown, NY like it said it took place in. The acting is so poor. Shannon Tweed adds to her horrible career in B-Movies. To sum it up, it is about a moral (and cheesy looking) teenager who holds in his blood serum for eternal life. It can only be taken from his body and given to the bad guys through sexual contact. And since the main character is attracted to his widowed step mom, how better for the evil people to get it, than to have mother and son engage in an act of perversion. However, I must say, despite my lack of respect for this movie, that it is a must see because it offers the viewer such unintentional comic relief.

Roach, the powerful man who owns a company trying to attain world domination is so pathetic. The women commandos, who are supposed to be the warriors of this international corporation, are clad in leather, and instead of driving in limos, the all powerful Roach people ride around in a van with the name of the company painted on it. I'd honestly rather watch flies engage in incest than watch this movie a second time. But, I'm glad I could get some laughs off of it.
