'The Dwelling' (1993) - Jeffrey Lynn Ward.

Buxom scream dream, Michelle Bauer and a spectacularly sleazy, Burt Ward star in, Jeffrey Lynn Ward's entertaining skid row Satanic schlocker 'The Dwelling'. Amiable country rube, Andy (Donny Valenti) enrols into college, and rents a skeevey-looking L.A apartment managed by titanic tool, Crasmire (Burt Ward), his growing sense of estrangement sweetened by some meet-cute shenanigans with his bodacious neighbour Pam (Michelle Bauer). Andy is disturbed by sinister scuttling from the ostensibly vacant above him which fatefully foreshadows his crude capture by the cowl-wearing cultist creeps in apartment 33! Low on shocks, high on yucks, 'The Dwelling' features some sleazily distracting T & A, plentiful smoke-slathered cornball deviltry, and, as always, Michelle Bauer delivers another pristine performance far brighter than this gleefully grubby film deserves! 

There's an endearing, Ray Dennis Steckler/Al Adamson quality to this low rent Luciferian lunacy that playfully tweaked all my B-Movie buttons to a satisfactory goregasm! By all rights this should be a flushable, odoriferously unpalatable turd-cake, and, yet, 'The Dwelling' inadvertently provides some next-level bad movie jocularity! The heroically unfiltered hamming by, Burt Ward as the irascible, devil worshipping landlord, Crasmire is a masterclass of pantomime absurdity! Michelle Bauer fans are sure to get an unholy kick out of her toothsome, Top-Popping,sinfully salacious, manhood masticating, scenery chewing succubus! Pentagrams, cockroaches, switchblade hookers, white bread Satanic cops, Nunchuck gangs, and douchey jocks, hey! it's just another f'd up night in Hollyweird!

'Fuck L.A!!! let's go to the country, Pam!'
