    I'm a bit shocked that this doesn't have a cult following, but it is yet another example why Tubi is my favorite of the streaming services. I can just subsist off of what Tubi has to offer and have most of my entertainment needs met. It's low budget as all get out, but what it lacks in budget it makes up for in atmosphere. You really get sucked into it on that... and a bit on the lack of budget too, the snippets you get of the book while our protagonist is reading it are just off enough, just staged enough to work as someone's imagination. And despite the budget you have little details, cop cars parking outside the window of a police station, little moans coming form the adult theater on the street, etc, that let you know there is more thought behind each scene than your average B-Movie. The acting is fair to middling. It has just enough camp to fit the budget, none of it seems to take itself too seriously they are all aware of what sort of movie they are making, what genre it's going to fill, and approach it accordingly. It's never too much camp to loose you and never too serious to seem out of place. It walks that line. The idea isn't new, book and reality merging, but it's not so overdone that you've seen it a thousand times so even decades on it still feels fresh enough to enjoy. This is a movie that is screaming for a cult following, but, unfortunately, doesn't have one yet. Hopefully Tubi will change that and it will get the following it deserves.
