Vicious Lips (1986)
1/10
Seriously what was going on in the 80's?
31 March 2021
The first question is, is this movie better or worse than Voyage of the Rock Aliens? Both are pretty terrible unless you adore schlocky mid 80's fair dealing with post punk "rock" bands. This one is of particular interest for raising a few questions. Questions like why during that transition from punk (not as music but as fashion) into glam metal did women make themselves up to look like men in drag? The rat's nest hair, the horrifying over use of make-up, the androgynous clothing. Of course that raises another question, maybe men in drag saw that look and really just took to it? These are questions you may ponder while staving off the boredom of watching this mess of a film. The editing looks like an early form of what Oliver Stone used in NBK..... call it "cocaine chic". The plot..... um.... well. I've read content warnings on food that were more entertaining. It's hard to judge acting when the material is this thin. Could any actresses raise this up into something more? Doubtful. Skip it. Anything you could do with your life would be time better well spent.
