Pussycake
The all-girl rock band Pussycake shreds, sings, and screams its way through dive bars. A gig in a coastal town, with some major-label music producers present, may be the big breakthrough. But on their arrival, the joint is closed and deserted. Instead, the hard-assed rockers are attacked by projectile-vomiting zombies and must fend for their lives. The Argentinian splatter whiz Pablo Parés infuses this sprightly little trip with gallons of blood, mucus, and guts—Pussycake seems like an expulsion from the B-movie heyday and a cruise back to the 1980s. Fantastically phantasmagorical!
