Masters of Horror Sick Girl 2005

Masters of Horror Sick Girl
Angela Bettis severely overacts her way through this mediocre installment of “Masters of Horror”, as a hyper-nerdy lesbian bug expert who tends to adopt the voice of an 85-year-old geriatric when speaking to her pet insects at home. Seriously, it’s the most irritating “fake voice” since Pauly Shore’s. She hooks up with Misty Mundae (who, in real life, stars in a lot of soft core horror/porn films) for a fairly hot lesbian tryst, but a mysterious parasitical insect invades Misty’s body and all sorts of interesting transformations begin. Director Lucky McKee draws a little bit from the tricks previously used in his exemplary “May”, and it’s easy to recognize the influence of Cronenberg’s “The Fly”, as well. Unfortunately, this 1 hour episode can’t match the tension sustained throughout the 90 minute “May”, and the overall tone of the weirdness is wholly inconsistent. Yes, Misty Mundae gets naked, and yes, there is a little bit of gore, but the episode, as a whole, is hard to get a handle on, and the cheesy, eye-roll inducing ending doesn’t help matters much either. There are better episodes than this one.
