Parts
of the Family
USA
2000. Director:
Leon Paul de Bruyn
Cast: Cecilia Bergqvist, Bob Dougherty, Leo Franquet, Lloyd Kaufman
Cecilia Bergqvist is kidnapped and taken as
hostage in an old house by a bankrobber in green overall. Little do
the kidnapper know that Cecilia is not only a hottie but also a flesheating
homicidal maniac. See there. Soon she gets the taste of blood and unveils
her bloody past, how she has killed the family she once worked for and
how she has tricked many men into this house for some killing.
Not very much happens for the first half or so in this cheap Troma pick-up. It mostly plays like the usual kidnap-melodrama with some legs and skin to spice it up and a few flashbacks with a little killing going on to remind us that it is supposed to be a horror movie. It gets a little better during the last reel when some ugly zombies buried under the floor are unleashed, though, and Troma director Lloyd Kaufman (as a cop) is eaten alive. Cecilia Bergqvist spends most of the time laughing hysterically, or so it seems, and the camera-man seem to be obsessed with her legs for some reason. But she gets to run around killing people with an axe, drill a guy in the head and take up the fine tradition of gut-munching. For gorehounds and Troma collectors only, though.
