Possibly in Michigan
Cecilia Condit
It all begins in a shopping mall. Two women sing about their favourite items, only to find themselves being pursued by a masked cannibal who is intent on taking love by force. Back at home, the two turn the tables, in line with the soundtrack lyrics: »I bite at the hand that beats me…«. This comedic musical horror gem with its unmistakable 80s aesthetic has found new appreciation among Gen Z audiences.
