Masters Of Horror: Sick Girl

Cast:  Angela Bettis, Erin Brown, Jesse Hlubik

Director:  Lucky McKee

2006


From the Masters Of Horror TV series, season 1 episode 10,  Sick Girl, focuses on the unusual budding relationship of two awkward lesbians.  The only thing scary about this is Angela Bettis' acting which is as stiff and annoying as her character, Ida.  On the other hand, Erin Brown (aka Misty Mundae) is enjoyable as Ida's girlfriend, Misty Falls.  90% of this story is about their relationship and nothing monstrous till the last 20 minutes when Misty begins eatting worms and bugs and then in the last 5 minutes is finally transformed into a bug creature.  I'd avoid this one if you're looking for good horror, but if you're interested in a lesbian love affair with a sci-fi/mutant twist, check it out.  There's also an indepedent horror film of the same name, so don't be confused.

Story:  A shy and awkward entomologist is down on her luck with the ladies until she meets Misty, the artist working in her building.  Someone sends Ida a package with an unclassified, parisitic bug that gets loose in her apartment, eventually biting and infecting Misty, altering her behavior and eventually turning both into half human/half bug creatures.

Gay Factor:  2 lesbians.  Female/Female kissing.  Female nudity.
