Rafael “Parker!!” Jovine – ★★☆☆☆ “What I got was a terrible horny, erotic sex scenes with very little eroticism and a hell lot of clothing.”
-
1bl15 – ★★★☆☆ “From the beguiling bowels of Bollywood bursts forth a dark matter theater anomaly; a wanton warble, a hollering Hindi herald of a nexus that somehow manages to bridge the OG ‘The Evil Dead’ with ‘Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder In Hell’ and ‘Brain Damage’.”
-
