Six
college guys find out about a whorehouse in the
middle of nowhere and decide to pay it a visit. When
they arrive, it's everything they've wished for - and
more! After pairing up with prostitutes, they split up
and go to their rooms, only to find out what the
hookers have planned for them. Apparently, their
fathers raped Sally some time ago, and the friends are
the ones who will have to pay for it.
Wow, look at that Amityville-like poster! You just can't
go wrong right? Well of course you can. The house on
the poster is nowhere to be seen in the movie, the
whorehouse is more of a small wooden lodge in the
forest than anything else. But if there's one thing
we've learnt, it's that posters lie. Mustang Sally's
House Of Horror felt like a bad throwback to the sleazy
slasher flicks of the late 80s. There's little to no
plot, the plot that we get is ludicrous and it's
utterly cheesy - but it's still surprisingly watchable.
The movie starts out with some guy bitching at his
mom (this scene later makes no sense at all). He takes
off and hangs out with some friends at a sleazy diner.
They overhear some thugs conversation about a whorehouse
and naturally they decide to go (yeah because six good-
looking jocks need to PAY for sex - that's reasonable).
When they arrive at the whorehouse, errr the whorelodge,
they're greeted by Sally. They then introduce themselves,
one by one for five of the most awkward minutes in
movie history (as a result of bad acting mixed with
bad dialogues). Anyway, inside the house they all get
to meet the girls that they're going to spend the night
with. They're more than pleasantly surprised and when
Sally asks them to give her their cell phones, there are
no objections (because prostitutes can be trusted with
all valuable objects).
So what happens next? Well we get to see the guys
snuggle with the prostitutes for ten minutes (don't
worry concerned moms, there is no sex in it) before
the prostitutes start going at them with knifes. Oh,
sounds gory ey? Well these aren't exactly butchers
knifes, they're more like the ones that you use to
gut fish with. For the rest of the movie, the guys
mainly run around while the girls play G.I. Jane gone
psycho in the forest.
The acting varies from atrocious to above average and
is, to say the least, a mixed bag. Elizabeth Daily
naturally gives us the best performance however. The
movie has the look of an 80s movie (and since the
soundtrack also felt very outdated, I almost felt like
this was intentional). If it was intentional, Iren
Koster nailed it, but on the other hand, if it was
intentional, it was a horrible, horrible idea.
Ultimately, Mustang Sally is a mildly amusing low budget
horror flick which may entertain some, but will probably
not impress many. It's got a sloppily written script,
the dialogue is horrific, the editing is questionable
and most of the actors were terrible. Check it out if
you enjoy these kind of cheesy, mindless films, but I
wouldn't recommend it.
A lot of blood splatter (especially on curtains for
some reason), a cut off tongue (off screen), some
stabbings, a slit throat. Nothing special.
This score could have been copied from any 80s comedy.
Everything from the hip hop beats to the rock music
simply felt outdated. Boo!
While I really like the main concept of the movie, the
story was executed poorly and the low budget probably
damaged the production in more than a few ways. In the
end, Mustang Sally is a mildly entertaining, but still
quite poor horror flick which surprisingly enough doesn't
have any real sex scenes in it. If you think you're in
for a sexy, soft-core porn horror flick, you're wrong.
