Review of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) by Rcavey92212 — 18 Jul 2020
Critic Roger Ebert wrote this campy, melodramatic, horror thriller musical. If that sounds like a lot you have no idea what this movie is like. This in name only sequel centers around a girl rock group who goes to Hollywood and is thrust into the seedy underbelly of sex, drugs, rock n roll, porn stars, tranny killers, lesbians, etc. It's like a thousand lifetime movies blended together but with a rockin soundtrack. Mostly the movie works as an ultimate guilty pleasure but it does seem to just transcend film altogether. With beautiful cinematography and quick cut editing it's a wild ride that holds up pretty well. Originally Rated X and now NC-17 if this sounds like your jam go for it otherwise keep on steppin.
Budget: $1M.
Box Office: $40M.
7.
