Cherry Bomb

A stripper is lured into the champagne room where a group of drug-addled idiots beat and rape her. When the police don’t believe her side of the story, the stripper – whose stage name and real name are both Cherry Bomb – decides to seek revenge on her own terms. Written and directed by Kyle Day, Cherry Bomb doesn’t bring anything new to the revenge movie genre, but there’s a low-budget grittiness to it from being a complete waste of time. Julin (Killer School Girls From Outer Space) is unbelievable as the stripper/vigilante, whether she’s dancing on the stage or aiming a gun, which is a big problem since she’s in about every scene. The bad guys are a bit more believable, especially Allen Hackley as Bull, the professional hit man the rapist hire to kill Cherry before she kills them.
