68 Kill

Trent Haaga's 68 Kill is a run of the mill exploitation picture which has an interesting twist to its premise, but falters in its execution. Haaga is an alumnus of Troma Productions and seems eager to wallow in the gore, splatter, female nudity and bent humor that distinguishes its product. 68 Kill is a trailer park noir that puts its protagonist, Chip, through its bloody paces as he is tormented by one femme fatale after another. He is emasculated by his tormentors to such an extent that he ends up dressed in a pink bath towel and flowered red flip flops. 

Haaga's screenplay has enough zingers to keep one amused, but he is not particularly gifted at framing the carnage. The most memorable shot is a subjective one of Chip urinating blood; the rest is dross. Haaga's numerous acting credits belie his strength and he coaxes enthusiastic performances from his experienced cast. Most memorable is Sheila Vand playing goth as she did in A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. 68 Kill is engaging enough splatter fu, but is not particularly memorable.
