The Plot: 
Cleveland, Ohio is a dirty, dirty city - and rampant urban decay isn't its only problem. Here in this seedy Lake Erie locale, women are treated like dirt by the men who believe it's their biological right to use and abuse them. One young secretary must teach her leering employer that 'No' means "NO!" A lonely girl with limited self-esteem must defend herself against the busted moves of a cocky street dancer. A harried housewife can no longer take her husband's domestic harangues and a faithful daughter draws the line at being financial fodder for her father's ongoing drug habit. In a world of pimps, perverts, and paternalistic scum, these babes can't catch a break. But do not feel sorry for them. These aren't damsels in distress. They aren't women in trouble. No, these gals are Poison Sweethearts, and anyone who touches them is bound to feel their toxic tug.
inal Thoughts: 
For a long standing lover of exploitation like yours truly, Poison Sweethearts stands as a carefully crafted miracle. Lots of films claim to be following the Pussycat Theater ideal, drawing on the vaguely defined notion of the grindhouse to earn them some questionable cult respect. But this is the real ass deal, a Highly Recommended romp that, if given a Something Weird Video tag (or better yet, a Box Office International intro), you'd swear was a recently recovered, long forgotten genre gem. As the Campbells continue to explore the realms of motion picture potential, as they look to expand instead of exhaust their aesthetic frame of reference, here's hoping that Hollywood is paying attention. Among their undaunted DIY brethren, these astounding filmmakers just keep getting better and better. Poison Sweethearts is a landmark in their already milestone-laden career path. It truly is a sleazoid sensation.
