If you go into this expecting the next "The Exorcist", you will be disappointed.
If you go into this expecting something more along the lines of something out of Tromaville, you will have a better chance of enjoying yourself. I'd say this is like Diet Troma. It's raunchy, and bloody, and there are plenty of naked women. It's a more humorous film, and definitely cheesy, but it never goes quite as far as a Troma film.
This is an anthology film, it includes a couple segments that are fairly short that are billed as "Coming attractions in February". They even include a "Pickman's Model" segment that opens up with the quote "Oh, Pickman, don't let those b****es get you down."
There are some fun effects such as the creature from the "Pickman's Model" segment. The gore is mostly limited to somebody getting sliced or stabbed, and then blood getting flung around. It's fairly light on story. It's quick, simple, silly fun.
The director does a decent job of making this feel like the kind of stuff you'd watch late at night on obscure channels, and they even include a sign off segment concluding the end of the broadcast day.
Legally I don't think you're permitted to review a Joe Sherlock film and not mention the naked women. What I appreciated about the naked women in this film is that they are all shapes and sizes and ages, and they are all treated as equally capable of being objects of desire. I don't recall seeing any jokes at the expense of these women's bodies. Each woman who disrobes is shown to the viewer as if that woman fits the standard definition of beauty, whether that woman is a slim, busty woman in her 20's, or a large, less busty woman in her 50's.
This is a fairly quick paced, breezy film. My only real complaint is that some of the segments end very abruptly and with little to no explanation, and it gives some of the segments an unfinished feel to them. But overall I enjoyed this film.
