Bit of change of genre for writer-director Michael Head with his new film, ‘Jackie the Stripper’ and its starry cast and is something of a horror comedy mash-up.
Described as a female empowerment grind house comedy action thriller, Jackie and her band of female vigilante assassins hatch a plan to kill six members of the evil male dominated court with deadly and hilarious consequences!
The cast is ;ed by Charlotte Kirk with Kimberley Wyatt, Jamie Lomas, Patsy Kensit….and Katie Price! This promises to be the beginning of a trilogy and comes from the pen of Michael head who also appears as a nasty mob boss. He is prolific with this being his third film in three films (his previous was the gentle Irish road movie The Spin and the East End gangster movie ‘Bermondsey Tales). But the other film of those that we would recommend is ‘Meeting across the River’ a low key, low budget film inspired by Harold Pinter’s play The Dumb Waiter and is exceptionally good
You might remember that we ran an offer for readers to attend the World premiere in London’s Leicester Square a few weeks ago and since then the film has played in the US and is now available to to watch on Amazon Prime.
