Reception



Roger Ebert of 'Chicago Sun-Times' offered a mixed review of the film, not praising it while neither condemning it. He offered that the title accurately described the movie and wrote that it was "one of those movies where the lights are on but nobody's at home. It is the most simpleminded movie in many a moon, a vacant and brainless exercise in dreck, and I almost enjoyed myself sometimes, sort of. The movie is so cheerfully dim-witted and the characters are so enthusiastically sleazoid that the film takes on a kind of awful charm." Don Kaye of Rovi wrote that the film was "a dumb-but-hip instant cult favorite that knows - and revels in - its limitations."

Production



Casting of the film was ongoing in May 1987 with Generic Films to begin shooting on June 5 as part of a four-picture contract with Empire Pictures. Empire was ultimately displeased with the film delivered by Generic Films and the title was reassigned to a new film from director Anita Rosenberg that filmed in October 1987. The original version was later released as 'Cemetery High'.
