In Benny Profane’s splendid Hospital a couple (Zak Sabbath and Mandy Morbid) fake a miscarriage to scam Kimberly Kane out of 20 bucks.
“You sure you don’t want a ride to the hospital?” Kane asks.
“We don’t want to mess up your car,” Sabbath responds. They get the money and blow it on candy.
I found myself thinking: This is a thinly veiled dramatization of how Vivid agreed to open Vivid-steve; same miscarriage, but it cost way more than 20 bucks. So not only do you get a great movie but you get a creation myth, too.
A review will follow, but I will leave you with my favorite line from the movie, which I encourage you to work into your weekend barbecue banter:
“You are a drug addict and you are a sexual deviant. We have to fix that. We are going to trepanate you. You’ve got too much brainblood volume.”
