rarely have i see a film start out slow than mondo trasho . it be so amateurishly make and act that it seem that call it a movie be a misnomer . instead and it like a very and very and very long and ponderous home movie make by escaped inmate of a mental asylum and desperately need editing and direction . what little dialog the film have be add ( very and very and very poorly ) after the fact . the film begin with a hooded guy torturing and kill chicken with an ax . why . i dunno . it seem pretty cruel to use animal like this and i assume that water be just try to shock the viewer . i hope they at least eat the chicken and otherwise this be even more tragic ( at least for the chicken ) . mary vivian pearce go for a walk and catch a bus and sits on a bench read a book and walk through john hopkins university for twelve minute with no laugh or weirdness . i can not believe that most audience sit through this portion to see the rest of the film . especially since it be obviously shot with a home movie camera and the sound track consist of mostly choppy clip of random tune string together some exceptional ( such a the jazzy or early rock piece ) and some banal ( such a pomp and circumstance ) and some oddly ironic ( such a see ya later alligator ) that dominate the image . eventually and a pervert with a foot fetish sneak up and begin fondle her foot . apparently and she into that and they sneak off into the wood for some toe sucking ( whatever floats your boat ) . some loud moaning ensues so far the only sound other than music in the film . during the loud moaning and the scene become a flashback or dream or fantasy where pearce be a modern cinderella be abuse by her step sister . they beat her up and strip her partially naked then the prince enters with the slipper and the story continue . abruptly and however and the toe sucker be do and just walk away leave pearce unsatisfied and lonely . divine then be show drive along in an amazingly cool old cadillac . she see a naked man and back up right into pearce . so and divine pick up pearce and put her in the car and drive home . then and we be treat to divine shopping and you assume pearce be still lie in the car bleeding . this shopping scene and like the rest of the film and go on way too long with no payoff . for some excitement and divine shoplifts and then quickly leave the store . on the way out and she see a homeless lady sleeping ( or maybe she just an unconscious lady ) and she steal her shoe . only after this do she go back to the car to get pearce . you think she be go to help and but actually drag her into a laundromat and strip her steal pearce clothes and put the shoplifted clothes and the shoe on pearce . the virgin mary then appear ( naturally ) and you hear a voice over of divine repenting in spasm and ask mary for help and forgiveness . subtle it ain not . use a wheelchair and divine wheel pearce away and they meet up with a mental patient who be accost by guy dress a attendant carry a big net ( wow and what an image ) . after capture the nutty lady and they chase divine and pearce and take them to a hospital that be really just some house . there and lot of john water friends roam do rather random stuff a pearce lay there look comatose . then a flat chested lady dance ( for a very long time ) a the patient cheer . eventually and she molest and once again and mary appear . apparently everyone there can see her and divine once again spasms and overacts like she do earlier . mary friend or a demon ( who can tell . ) then appear and give divine a switchblade and everyone escape with divine push pearce away in the wheelchair . now and finally and divine call a doctor for pearce ( dr. coathanger ) . once at the office and they just sit there wait with the other patient ( never mind that pearce be run over ) until one of them take off her clothes and some long haired guy grab her . be he the doctor . no and that would be david lochary ( who be show shoot up some drug ) who proceed to pull out giant saw and operate a the nurse vomit . in the end and pearce awakens and her foot be now horrific look . reporter then come to interview divine about the accident . a cop then arrive and begin beat divine . a gun and knife battle then ensue involve lot of extra . divine be stab and the cop be kill . then and lochary and divine and pearce escape in a car . pearce and divine be later drop off in the middle of no where . find their way to a farm and they climb into a pig enclosure and roll around in the mud until and once again and mary show up with jesus . divine be dead and pearce wanders off find her way back to town . in a way and way too long final scene and two lady stare at her and seem to talk about pearce call her lot of slutty name . the dialog be pretty funny and but be just slap on the scene with no regard to synchronize it to the actor lips or expression . overall and this nearly 90 minute film and like my review and could use a severe editing . it be amateurish and bad with only a few funny scene spread thinly through the film . unless you be a die hard water fan or absolutely need to see one of his early film and this be one you can skip . the only positive thing i can say about it be that it help john water and the actor ( . ) to hone their craft eventually lead to such brilliant non conformist film a female trouble and polyester . by the way and see lochary shoot up be pretty sad and a he later die due to his drug use .
