The film introduces us to a righteous vigilante intent on killing drug dealers, strippers, prostitutes, and pimps. The film then focuses on the life of a lesbian stripper (Natalie Jean) with a Philadelphia slang background. We then go back to the bloody killer (Isaac Williams) who uses a hammer to bash heads to produce some of the reddest blood around.

The plot pretty well sucked, but I have to give it 3 stars for all the sex and nudity...thank you Dawn Vaughn, Kacie Marie, Wyn Nugyen, Kalsey Lehman, Raichyl Sinversa, Suzi Pang, Brittany Reardon, Janet Searfoss and many more.

I understand some of the reasons why CROSS BEARER is getting low reviews, but come'on, 1 out of 10? That is not fair. There are much worse films out there with bigger budgets that are more deserving of a 1 than this. I get it, though. Some unintentionally(?) funny/corny lines (like the one I used in my header summary). The acting was nothing to write home about, but it was passable. The gore effects were decent. The lighting was really good. The girls were pretty hot for the most part. I would have liked it better though if the killer talked less. The bag or whatever it was he wore over his head was pretty cool. That was probably the only scary aspect to the film. I do think the filmmakers have potential with a bigger budget and I am looking forward to watching THE CEMETERY hopefully sometime soon.

Heather (Natalie jean) is broke. She has a soul sucking job as a stripper. Her live-in girlfriend Victoria has a baby and a coke problem. Her boss Harry is an abusive maniac. Life cannot get much worse... or so she thought.

This film is spoiled by rather weak performances and an almost non-existent plot. But we quickly get the impression that acting and plot were not really concerns for those involved. Rue Morgue says the film "was a huge hit with the underground horror community" and used copies were selling for $100 before a second run. Those who dropped the cash surely did not get their money's worth.

We have some staples of Doug Sakmann and Backseat Conceptions: the excessive amount of naked women and the excellent gore (Sakmann tends to run in the same circles as the Suicide Girls and adult stars like Joanna Angel). Pretty sure I saw "XXX-orcist" in the background at one point.

As a bonus, I learned the term "the High Five" which had somehow previously escaped me.
