Leofwine_draca FERTILIZE THE BLASPHEMING BOMBSHELL is, despite the title, a straight horror/thriller with Satanic themes, put out by Troma. Like most Troma movies, it's too low budget to take seriously, but in other respects it's a pretty decent movie considering the usual kind of tat put out by the studio.The main character is played by Sheila Caan and undergoing a road trip across America. En route she accidentally becomes embroiled with a wide-ranging conspiracy involving a group of black magic practitioners with a fine line in human sacrifice. Determined to cover up their crimes, they pursue and plan to kill her, but she proves surprisingly resistant to their plans.The main template for this film is the excellent '70s thriller RACE WITH THE DEVIL and it does have a '70s vibe to it, favourably recalling the Satanist films of old at times. It's not as good as any of those movies, though, and the cameraman is more interested in shooting his starlet in a voyeuristic way than framing well-shot action. The rest is a blur of desert landscapes, nude showers, suspenseful music, and some effective moments, particularly at the exploding car climax.

Bou Okay, with the title this movie has, it was eventually going to get a look in this household. The dedicated cult-movie fan will sometimes follow a title like this into a so-bad-it's good experience. Sometimes it's time well spent. Most of the time one remembers why one does not play the ponies or the stock market.What to say of this movie? Well, there's lots of driving. Not Steve McQueen stuff, though. No, more like "Manos, the Hands of Fate." And the walking! More walking than in "The Beast of Yucca Flats." I will admit that my thumb leaned heavily on "FF." Even then, the pace was unendurable.However, I did not fast forward through some truly inspired dialogue uttered by the satanic leader, who wears some sort of helmet of leather and horns---perhaps a ram's head? No matter. Whatever it is, it successfully hides the identity of the actor(?) as he intones such lines as "For rejecting the serpent, prepare to surrender thy unhallowed flesh to all that is evil!" and "Now, whore, shall ye know the hard-on of sin!" (What happens next gives new meaning to "Lust in the Dust," as well as an ironic twist to the director's name.)I suppose I should mention that there's a topless waterfall-shower scene, as well as a topless woman in a thong carrying around a boa constrictor . . . if you like that sort of thing.

merklekranz "Fertilize the Blaspheming Bombshell" starts out annoyingly dark, and far too many scenes are just torches or headlights meandering around the desert night. To be fair, the daylight scenes feature some well photographed desert landscapes, with the "Bombshell running around in her underwear. The story involves Sheila Cann, investigating a coven of devil worshipers lead by the great "chrome dome", Robert Tessier. Tessier is visually impressive, but given some seriously awkward dialog. This really is "gourmet garbage", delivering not only a steamy nude shower scene, but as a bonus, Cann miraculously finds a waterfall oasis in the desert for a nude skinny dip. Bo Hopkins plays a not very helpful sheriff, and Tessier is more or less wasted as the potential "fertilizer of the Bombshell". - MERK

enterthemoose Every once in awhile, a movie comes out that is so bad, it's funny. Not this one. This is about a Satanic cult and this girl keeps having weird dreams about them. That's all I got. The movie is really dark and it is hard to tell what is going on. I have no idea how the first half of the movie went. But towards the end there are a few cool yet cheesy fight scenes. There is also some OK nudity and a really funny looking Satan wannabe. The music in this movie is awesome.Thats about it. I'm not sure why I gave it 5 stars, but it could of been much worse. You can get it through the Toxie Triple terror volume 4.But you should stick to the Final Sacerfice.
