When I saw "Horrible High Heels" I was completely blown away by what was playing on the television screen. The opening scene with the cow being gutted made me think of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. By the time the ending rolled around, the body count was so high from revenge that I Spit On Your Grave entered my head. It was a different movie for sure and if you want to being surprised at every turn, this would be the movie to check out. It really blew my mind!!! I wanted to thank the friend that lent it to me with the warning of not to eat any type of meat while watching "Horrible High Heels" but I did anyway. I was completely shocked by what I seen and will purchase it on DVD if I happen to run into it at some of the local video stores. It would be one of the movies to be shown to viewers with a high tolerance for pain, agony, violence, sex, nudity and death. What a rush!!!

Good title, totally inept movie. The score is actual cues from the soundtracks of NEAR DARK, BODY DOUBLE and PHANTASM.A shoe company depends on human skin for its leather. Not a great business plan, but it works for a while.This is a sleazy little number with a generous helping of rapes, dismemberments and stabbings. Some of the more horrific scenes display a little style, but, overall, this is a very amateurish attempt to jump on the DR. LAMB/LOVE TO KILL/UNTOLD STORY bandwagon.Shing Fui-On, who has seen much better days, plays a wheelchair-bound crime boss who conducts his shoe wholesaling business at a card table under a freeway. "Betrayers must turn out to be the merchandise!" is his business motto. Another not-so-great business plan, but it works for a while.When a couple discover the severed head of a missing friend, they see the discovery as an opportunity to get married. When the killer cuts a bitchy woman open and holds up her entrails for viewers, he declares: "I will have my shoe business soon!" The same bitchy woman is forced (earlier on) to caress her bloody breasts with a dead hand and kiss a head. Yes, it's that kind of movie, and no thought was given to its script, if in fact there ever was one.The close-ups are mismatched, the softcore sex is bungled, and the final shoot-out is ludicrous.As a lesson on how not to run a business and how not to make a horror film, much can be learned from HORRIBLE HIGH HEELS.

I actually bought--sight unseen--an obscure import DVD of this film, so my expectations might have been higher than those of someone just looking to rent. But in all honesty, I can't even recommend it for a low-priced rental.I was willing to settle for something only half as disturbing and well-crafted as The Untold Story or Dr. Lamb when I ordered this DVD. I'm addicted to being disturbed; that is to say, I have intense admiration for violence, cruelty, brutality, and gore in films. So if a film contains enough of these elements, I can forgive other shortcomings. Unfortunately, Horrible High Heels isn't very disturbing to the jaded--yes, there's a decent helping of gore, but I've seen worse (or do I mean better?) in any dozen Italian zombie/cannibal films, and in quite a few Asian films as well. This is irrelevant, though, because its other shortcomings are so severe that no amount of barbarism could sway my low opinion of it.The film's greatest flaw is that it's utterly incoherent. This is actually an odd statement coming from me, because I'm normally a huge fan of incoherence, especially when it's intentional--for example, when it's used to instill a sense of confusion in the viewer that mirrors the mental state of the film's protagonist. But the incoherence in HHH is the result of nothing more than an abundance of filmmaking ineptitude. If this ineptitude were at least comical, I might still have enjoyed the film, but it's simply perpetually frustrating and inappropriate to the narrative. In many sections, it's as if the editor decided that shot sequence was arbitrary, and simply spliced the shots together in random order.And so on. To make a long story short (too late), don't waste your money. If you've seen Cannibal Ferox, City of the Living Dead, Organ, Men Behind the Sun, and the like, this film will not fulfill your mayhem jones, and it will irritate you besides. If you DON'T like your entertainment brutal, for god's sake why are you reading about this film?

If you want to watch this movie after my comments I will suggest you use the fast forward button. This movie is very confused..it is poorly acted and lousy written. I could forgive all this if it was groundbreaking in any way, but no. It´s about this shoefactory were people disappear and end up as fine quality shoes. All the characters are unpleasant, so who cares who kills who. There is a subplot involving some local thugs - an excuse to make some lame shootout in the end. The only good thing about this movie is a lot of softcore scenes, but it cant save this turkey. A fair amount of blood though, if anyones interested.
