Review of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) by Penny W — 20 Jul 2009
Your liking of this movie will depend entirely on the title characcter and whether or not you dig her shtick. I happen to love her stuff. She's quick with the wit, sexually overt (not slutty) and has a nice, enormous set of natural tits.
The comedy is pure slapstick, nothing more nothing less. I personally dug on a lot of them. I chuckled several times throughout. Signorelli did what he had to do with this type of film. He gave some neat angles and kept it moving nicely.
The best shots were when he focused on Elvira's body parts, though. Cassandra Peterson does Elvria and again, your judgment on her will depend on whether or not you like Elvira. The other actors were also pretty funny in their respecctive roles.
The film somewhat downplays it in the last third of the movie. It makes way for more story and it stopped being funny. I started to yawn in the last half once it came and it didn't keep my interest as much.
To be honest, I was just digging the tit jokes and the naive humor at that point. But once the ending "act" came in, I was back on with the movie. I'm not dwelling too much on this one. It's fairly simple for what it presents.
If you dig Elvira, see it. If not, rent a porno.
