2013 ·1h 11m · ★ 3.6 (21)

Heather is broke. She has a soul sucking job as a stripper. Her live-in girlfriend Victoria has a baby and a coke problem. Her boss Harry is an abusive maniac. Life cannot get much worse... or so she thought. Determined to get out of this living hell, Heather and her lover, Bunny, plan to rip off Harry, ditch Victoria, and leave town to live out their days on the Greek islands in peaceful bliss. One big score is all they need, and Harry gives them the opportunity when he asks them to take care of a drug deal with one of his clients at an old warehouse.

Why it matters

A gritty grindhouse nightmare where desperation meets relentless, low-budget slasher brutality.

  • A raw slice of urban decay horror, drenched in grime and neon — not for the faint of heart or polish seekers.
  • Heather’s world teeters between exploitation and survival, grounding the carnage in bleak, lived-in despair.
  • Practical effects deliver visceral, bloody payoffs that echo ’80s splatter classics despite the shoestring budget.
  • Fans of DIY horror and down-and-dirty revenge tales will find a scrappy spirit here, even if the narrative occasionally stumbles.
