The Machine Girl
“It's Payback Time!”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 74, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A schoolgirl's revenge campaign acquires a mechanical upgrade after a brutal attack. Every confrontation seems designed to test another impossible weapon and several more litres of stage blood. The characters are deliberate cartoons, making this a strong group pick only for viewers already enthusiastic about extreme splatter.
