Poor Pretty Eddie

There’s almost no way to describe what happens in the 70s ‘hicksploitation’ classic. It just has to be seen, but only if you enjoy movies that are so bad they’re good, or found yourself smiling at the idea of there actually being a genre of film called ‘hicksploitation.’ The movie stars Leslie Uggams (Roots) as Liz Weatherly, a bratty pop singer trying to get away from the demands of her career by taking a road trip in her white Rolls Royce. When the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Liz finds herself the center of some very weird and unwanted attention from the locals. Love it or hate it, you’ll never forget it.
