Proving that a madwoman can be far more threatening than a madman, Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh introduces us to a weapon-wielding femme-fatale who is dedicated to lopping off limbs and chalking up a high body count in the name of an ancient religious cult. What results is a plethora of slice and dice silliness and one of the most deranged, but darkly humoured, hack 'em ups ever unleashed. Starring Veronica Hart, the erstwhile adult movie legend as a crazy killer with a shapely shape, and paying homage to everything from Blood Feast to The Toolbox Murders, Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh proves once and for all that the female of the species is far deadlier than the male!

Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh is typical VHS trash–an enticing title, a poster that has very little in common with the film, a promising concept marred by a futile screenplay, and a few moneyshots released in the trailer. This hopelessly lifeless attempt to combine horror, crime and parody crashes and burns due to the utter inability of everyone involved to construct a joke or make a point. As for the promised splatter associated with Tom Savini’s participation, the film, in the interest of a minimal budget, which was spent on costumes and staging, is limited to a handful of static gore shots, but all of the killing happens off-camera.
