Buxom scream dream, Michelle Bauer and a spectacularly sleazy, Burt Ward star in, Jeffrey Lynn Ward's entertaining skid row Satanic schlocker 'The Dwelling'. Amiable country rube, Andy (Donny Valenti) enrols into college, and rents a skeevey-looking L. A apartment managed by titanic tool, Crasmire (Burt Ward), his growing sense of estrangement sweetened by some meet-cute shenanigans with his bodacious neighbour Pam (Michelle Bauer). Andy is disturbed by sinister scuttling from the ostensibly vacant above him which fatefully foreshadows his crude capture by the cowl-wearing cultist creeps in apartment 33! Low on shocks, high on yucks, 'The Dwelling' features some sleazily distracting T & A, plentiful smoke-slathered cornball deviltry, and, as always, Michelle Bauer delivers another pristine performance far brighter than this gleefully grubby film deserves!
There's an endearing, Ray Dennis Steckler/Al Adamson quality to this low rent Luciferian lunacy that tweaked all my B-Movie buttons the right way! By all rights this should be a flushable, odoriferously unpalatable turd-cake, and, yet, 'The Dwelling' inadvertently provides some next-level bad movie jocularity! The heroically unfiltered hamming by, Burt Ward as the irascible, devil worshipping landlord, Crasmire is a masterclass of pantomime absurdity! Michelle Bauer fans should get an unholy kick out of her toothsome, Top-Popping,sinfully salacious, manhood masticating, scenery chewing succubus! Pentagrams, cockroaches, switchblade hookers, white bread Satanic cops, Nunchuck gangs, and douchey jocks, hey! It's just another f'd up night in Hollyweird!
