Rating: 4/4 --
The acting duo of Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel deliver a nonchalant comedic style of delivery, this odd matter-of-factly placidness in a sea of mayhem abounding...Read on->

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Dark, wild and silly cult comedy.

...The film is driven by its superb dialogue and outlandish performances...
Sight and Sound
...Bartel and Mary Woronov are delightfully strange in the leads while Robert Beltram creates a wonderful character in Raoul...

Rating: 3/5 --
Overrated cult comedy isn't nearly as funny as it thinks it is.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 4/5 --
Nicely lays out capitalism on the chopping block. In an obsessively consumptive culture like America's, the only way for a common couple to strive is through killing, then consuming.
Film Threat
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Despite the consistency of the film's droll take on murder and mayhem, it still feels oddly uneven and skimpy, as if there just isn't quite enough meat on its narrative bones.

Product Description:
Paul and Mary Bland (Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov) are a dull but well-meaning couple, who more than live up to their surname. The Blands dream of owning a restaurant; however they don't have the $20,000 needed for the venture. Late one night, a swinger from the party next door enters the Blands' apartment and tries to assault Mary, but is killed when Paul whacks him with a frying pan. When the Blands discover the deceased is loaded with money, the couple hit upon an idea: lure sex-seekers to their home via a classified ad, kill them, and take their money. This way, they're not only financing their dream, they're cleaning up society! But when a locksmith named Raoul discovers their scheme, the Blands must make him a partner -- especially since Raoul knows that the "tasty" cadavers are being disposed of in a "culinary" manner...
