WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Chained Heat (1983)
Sometimes I wonder how far a movie can go down the toilet. Good news — Chained Heat left me with little room to ponder. It’s written and directed by Paul Nicholas, who brought us another slice of insanity, Julie Darling. This is yet another descent into madness for poor Linda Blair, who has endured some of cinema’s […]
