Open 24/7

EATING CHILDREN DOESN'T MAKE ME A VAMPIRE
This is perhaps best described as a French "Creep Show" Troma style. The addition of Lloyd Kaufman in this film at the beginning and near the end was a big negative. The film consists of three people telling stories in a diner that involves, slashers, cannibalism, and perverted fairy tales. At times I thought the stories were very good, with well written dark comedy, while other times it was just junk.

The tales include blood splatter, severed body parts, child abuse, and sausage humor. This feature is clearly not for everyone. English subtitles.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity.

Horreur du Francais ala Troma
As is typical of many Troma releases "Open 24/7" features a healthy dose of black humor mixed in with its' over the top gore. The first thing to note about this film is that you need to turn on the sub-title option at start-up because this twisted little flik was filmed in France w/ french language throughout (with the exception of a couple of songs sung in English).

The format of the movie centers around an open-all-the-time diner wherein several of the patrons, and the waitress/owner, spin tales of a horrific nature to 'pass the time'. There are 3 vignettes included - all featuring. principally. female protagonists performing the dastardly deeds described & depicted.

The first 'story' tells the tale of a pair of disaffected lesbian lovers who lure men into their realm to dine upon them - the second, darkly comedic, yarn plays out like a warped fairy tale - and the third chronicles a pair of sexually abused sisters from the provences who journey to the 'wicked'...
