Mari-Cookie and the Killer Tarantula

Someone is kidnapping the affluent citizens of Antifafasta under the watch of sexy Sheriff Marga (Michelle Bauer), whose diligent investigation is slowed only by her hearty appetite for the beautiful women of the badly reputed parish. Drawn to a seedy downtown nightclub run by avant garde punk rock star Tarantula (Lina Romay), her list of suspects quickly grows to an odd assortment of colorful characters. Could the culprit be the mysterious Queen Vicious (Analia Ivars)- dancehall queen of the docks, elitist socialite Teri (Linnea Quigley), Teri's gorgeous daughter Amy (Amber Newman) or the never understated and always silly Mari Cookie (Lina Romay), who always seems to have enough problems of her own. Director Jess Franco takes us on a wild departure from his classic tales of horror and eroticism, to a crazy and sexy romp filled with outrageous situations and dialogue, without losing the trademark colors and textures that have made him a cinema legend. Filled with over the top performances by an all star cast- including dual roles by Franco's favorite leading lady, Lina Romay- Mari-Cookie and the Killer Tarantula is destined to become an overnight cult classic.
