The Stendhal Syndrome
Not great, but still an enjoyable and really dark tale. The CG work was weak, but the concept totally worked for me. The true weirdness in this film isn't the titular syndrome, but how Asia's character essentially undergoes a sex-change through the film. She starts of feminine then becomes macho and finally ends up like a man in drag.
Too bad Troma's horribly grainy, pan & scan transfer is so shitty! This film deserves a better DVD release.
6.5/10
