Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Very Bad Things
This movie is a black comedy detailing a group of friends who have a bachelor party in Vegas. When one of them accidentally kills the prostitute/stripper (porn star Kobe Tai) they decide to eliminate the evidence and bury her in the desert. Unfortunately a hotel security guard notices, so they have to kill him and bury him as well. They soon turn on each other as members of the group come unglued out of guilt and self pity. It's a brutal yet brutally funny movie.
--Alex Emborsky, Resident Scholar
