From
the Director of Slime City, Greg Lamberson, comes the
musical/comedy Killer Rack (2015) - a pretty hilarious cut
indie with a few familiar B-movie faces and some effective comedic
sequences. Starring Debbie Rochon, Lloyd Kaufman, Jessica Zwolak,
and Brooke Lewis, Killer Rack's plot is pretty silly and a bit
derivative of other films such as Idle Hands (which was
recently reviewed elsewhere on this site), but there's a level of
charm that makes it a fun popcorn muncher.
However,
if you're looking to see a lot of nudity you will walk away from this
pretty disappointed. In fact, I'm perplexed there wasn't considering
the basis of the film and the fact that its gory enough to be R-rated
anyway.
Betty
Downer (Zwolak) feels at the root to all of her problems is her small
boobs. Her boyfriend isn't into her, the boss at her job doesn't
treat her as good as her busty co-workers, and her self confidence
has reached an all time low. When she meets a mad plastic surgeon
(played by Debbie Rochon who goes by the name ''Dr. Kate Thulu'' - a
Lovecraft joke), she soon gets with huge fake knockers. Soon, things
start to go south as she realizes they are part of Dr. Thulu's
sinister plan for world domination.
Presented
in standard definition with a 1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio and
lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track, the film looks fine for DVD and
isn't anything too terribly impressive. The film is pretty well shot
considering the shoe string budget for what it is.

Though
funny at parts, Killer Rack would have been more effective had
it had a bit more gore, nudity, and was shot on Super 16mm film (or
at least digitally altered to look so). If it's aim is to be a
Grindhouse-type or Troma-type film, it's a bit too weak.
