Video Demons Do Psychotown (1988) – Alessandro daGaetano.
The Truck's got a short?', 'The Truck's gotta short what?'
Hey! While the director's got a 100 $ name, he made a 2cent movie!
The massively clunky intro, and excruciating acting/dialogue sets the scene beautifully for neglected Supernatural Troma schlocker Video Demons Do Psychotown. Bickering young couple shoot video at a spooky old building with a generic chequered past, leading monotonously to muddled horror hokum. Plus points earned for casting B-fox Donna Baltron, as she's hotter than a Venusian BBQ! Troma, visual Junk Food, mostly delivers what y'all expect, goofy chat, flat lighting, happy hour acting, generous portions of T&A, and equally plentiful emissions of day-glow goo! If it wasn't for the dynamite presence of delicious Donna, Video the stinky Demons Do Psychotown would be soggier than a fully loaded diaper. I wouldn't say this sucked outright, but is is frequently prone to suckage, and the lack of luminous goo didn't much help! The buff, plastic dude playing doof-master dingus Eric (Ron Arragon) dully read his lines like an only just revived coma victim, exuding all the charisma of a doughnut hole! Video Demons Do Psychotown has a truly bodacious title, but it's slow, and not good Saint Vitus slow, BAD slow, like a Joe Rogan podcast. The score is deliciously annoying, and really accentuates the leaden film-making, and strikingly shock-less slasher tropes. I still adore aggressively dopey B-Horror, so, as much as I loathe to admit it, I still kinda dark parts of it, but any blessed with a cogent brain should approach Video Demons Do Psychotown with due caution.
