“[The film that marked] the final step in star Shannon Tweed’s metamorphosis from B-movie starlet to the undisputed queen of the erotic thriller’s low budget, straight-to-video wing.”

Some words on jiggle flick auteur Jag Mundhra’s first essential picture, LAST CALL (1991):

The first standout feature from one of erotic thrillerdom’s most fascinating voices is also home to a career-making turn from one of the form’s biggest stars. Matty gives it a gander.
