The acting is only horror-film-functional, and you might wish that our trio of renegades knew a few basic laws of the genre - don't go anywhere alone, and please leave your vehicle before it's sent into the killer car wash - but you have to give Eisner points for knowing where all the bodies are buried, and how to unearth them suddenly for maximum effect.

...hard for the cute girl," she recalls. "I was blond, cute, broke. I was beat up. I was thrown inside lockers. I was burned with cigarettes. My hair was lit on fire." To earn money for college - she studied nursing at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale - she sent her photos to Playboy and was Miss October and eventually Playmate of the Year in 1994.
