Synopsis
“Bitch
Slap” is a post-modern, thinking man’s
throwback to the “B” Movie/Exploitation
films of the 1950’s - 70’s as well
as a loving, sly parody of the same. Inspired
by the likes of “Dragstrip Girls,” “Faster
Pussycat, Kill, Kill,” “Kung Fu Nun” and
the pantheon of Blacksploitation films, “Bitch
Slap” will mix girls, guns, outrageous
action and jaw-dropping visuals with a message… don’t
be naughty!
At its
core, “Bitch Slap” follows three bad
girls (a down-and-out stripper, a drug-running killer
and a corporate powerbroker) as they arrive at a
remote desert hideaway to extort and steal $200 Million
in diamonds from a ruthless underworld kingpin. Things
quickly spin out of control as allegiances change,
truths are revealed, other criminals arrive for the
score, the fate of the world hangs in the balance
and they are forced to confront a villain much worse
than they ever expected… themselves. It’s
the ultimate morality tale as, one by one, they realize
the whole she-bang was a set-up and one of them may
not even be human...
What
makes “Bitch Slap” different is a complicated “B” story
device that runs throughout the film to illuminate
character, backstory and relationship histories not
previously revealed. Like the film “Momento,” these
scene flashbacks take place in reverse, so by the
end of the film, you have a wholly different take
on who these women are and why they are behaving
so badly. “Bitch Slap” also employs
a mysterious Female Narrator who comments periodically
on the folly of humanity, the plight of the human
condition and the vagaries of life and love through
quoting the likes of Dostoevsky, T.S. Eliot, Sun
Tzu and even Buddha. Bet you never heard THAT in “Jailbait
Babysitter!”
So grab
your popcorn and fasten your safety belt. With “Cult
Classic” written all over it, “Bitch
Slap” is gonna be one wild ride… |
