It actually wasn't that bad...


I admit I only started watching this for the sex scenes but I actually started enjoying the movie. It is a pretty entertaining exploitation flick, by far the best movie this "studio" has ever made.

You're joking, right? 20 minutes into the crapfest, I was throwing it back in the jacket and driving it back to Family Video. I was courteous enough not to ask for my money back.

The 20 minutes left an impression though. One of the subplots of my Ciem: Inferno novel I'm writing is how Candi Flippo gets sent to a place like the one Anna got sent to. For reasons that make even less sense.

(Pocket dimension belt buckles in her backpack that the government didn't want anyone to know existed. But her godfather gave them to her. And then she was in the general area of a house that caught fire, and was accused of starting the fire in spite no tangible evidence to link her to the crime. Leaking to local authorities that these belt buckles exist gets her in more trouble than the arson charge would have.)

The other subplot is how her sister (a crazy hacker) recruits a known serial killer with a flamethrower fetish to stop a mutated man-tiger terrorist from burning the whole city down, while plotting to get Candi out of jail. (Yeah, it's gonna be like a comic book.)

Long story short, the subplot with Candi in jail plays out like a fix-it fic of this movie, to replace all of Jailbait's annoyances with action scenes, humor, or philosophical debates.

Anna is a complete pushover who gets no respect. Candi is a frustrated teen dripping with sarcasm, and centipede-themed abilities that basically make her Spider-Girl in everything but name.

And the Kody equivalent, Amirah? Not only is she a bully, and a gang leader, but a freakin' firebender!

If I didn't hold back more, Ciem: Inferno would basically be Jail-Bait meets Kick-Ass meets The Amazing Spider-Man. Set in southern Indiana.
