MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedJohn Waters' 1977 comedy-crime offering is a deliberately outrageous fable set in a squalid town ruled by a tyrannical queen. After a violent turn of events, two women flee into this chaotic outpost of outcasts and misfits. Trading in transgression, dark humor, and gleeful bad taste, the film delivers the subversive, anti-establishment spirit Waters is known for. It is aimed squarely at adult fans of cult cinema and provocative satire who appreciate camp and shock value. The film carries a MagicMovieScore of 6.4.
