A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER

Upon her release from an insane asylum, suspected murderess Vicki Kent returns to Hearth and Home... But is she CURED?
Although not released until 1983, this movie was made in 1979, marking Doris Wishman's last known feature to date. The reason I believe that it sat on the shelf for so long has to be the way this movie chopped to pieces and doesn't make much sense. Being a Wishman fan, I had discovered Wishman when I came across the fabulous Chesty Morgan in "Deadly Weapons" and "Double Agent 73". Instantly I was hooked in the films created by "The Queen of Exploitation", Wishman and was very excited to see "A Night To Dismember" released on Dvd for the first time. A long sought after film for many years has led to a complete let down at the way this film is so poorly edited and doesn't make much sense, even to Wishman.
The story begins as a young girl (Fox, the porn star), returns home from an asylum after 5 years. Her brother makes attempts to drive her mad again, and soon after killings begin. Though full of gore with heads and fingers cut off to intestines being ripped out, the movie does not seem to go anywhere but down. Thank God for the commentary on the dvd version by the queen herself, Wishman.
She is utterly amusing and very very funny and the commentary makes the disc all the reason why any Wishman fan should acquire a copy of their own. I have sat through the commentary alone at least 2 times and it seems to get funnier and funnier with each viewing. A thumbs up for adding this on the disc for without it, the movie is pure utter garbage, and not in a fun way!
