Incredibly, incredibly violent, and gory. After a young woman is raped and murdered in a snuff film she comes back as a vengeful ghost.
She's mostly just in the background until its time for one of her over the top gore fests though. We follow another young woman who gets caught up in this and has to force herself to love a criminal to stay alive, and the heroine junkie that is tricking these women into these films to get his fix.
It gets a bit silly at times as it really has to stretch out some reasons to keep these characters alive. They go through so many crazy situations that I just don't believe they would have made it through.
The character work is great though, albeit there was way too much romanticizing the gangsters as noble despite the awful things they get up to into this story. The junkie was the most interesting as he used to build up most of the world with his inner dialogue and comments.
As the worlds of the normal people, gangsters, and the junkie collide we throw in another one out of the blue towards the end. Magic is real and not only does one of the main characters just randomly blurt out that of course he has seen ghosts before in his line of work... but he also has a gypsy sister who can deal with it. Yeah sure. I felt it was a little too convenient of a way to handle it all and I didn't like the change into magic being completely real; the ghost stuff mixed with gangsters doing snuff films was already enough.
But at any rate, this is a fun and gory ride from beginning to end with some great characters carrying it through even when it gets a little too much and silly.
