How bad is it? It's dull, stupid and a little depressing.
Should you see it? Probably not.
A decade after his "Bloodsucking Freaks," director Grinter convinced Veronica Lake to finance her own comeback film of sorts. She'd only been in one film in 22 years, so it's a bit of a shock to see how she aged. I'd heard that her career stalled because film noir went out of style and she was too short to pair with many actors and there were rumors that she had mental health issues (schizophrenia has been suggested, but there's no proof); it's now commonly believed that alcoholism ended her career... and explains her decision to make this film.
The plot is about a skin rejuvenating system that involves live maggots. Every year, that sounds more plausible. It also involves trying to reincarnate Hitler, which is a little less plausible. The final scene has Hitler being eaten alive, slowly, by maggots.
