Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie was made for a very small budget ($100,000 at a time when the average movie cost $15 million). It was meant to appear to be a psychological thriller, yet, ultimately, it's something else; the kind of "now you see it -- now you don't" that normally doesn't happen in inexpensive, quickly made movies. The film suffered from distribution problems, eventually being bought by TROMA, which purposely made it look, as in all previous TROMA films, like a trashy horror film, which it is NOT, renaming it from IN DEADLY HEAT to STUFF STEPHANIE IN THE INCINERATOR. The potential viewer then expects to see a campy grossout, but that is not what happens at all. So,if you run into this film, give it a chance. It's not great, but it does have a clever spark that is unusual for a supercheap indy.

This film is one of those that is so bad that it is good. Though the best thing to do is watch it late at night when you have had a few bevvies and then it seems OK. Though it is perhaps one of the worst films ever made. But the ending is really worth the wait.

This movie is so bad it makes Police Academy 6 look like Citizen Kane. There isn't one single good thing about it. Bad dialogue, deathly bad acting, horrendous camera work, terrible writing, a lame and pointless plot, not so special effects, unbearably bad pacing, shoddy directing, etc.... The title makes no sense with the movie but I guess you can't name a movie "Piece Of S**t" That is exactly what this movie is. > It's long and very boring. It doesn't even fit any category of movie: Action? What action? It's slow and meandering. Drama? I personally see more drama in a Hagar The Horrible comic strip. SciFi? Not with these lousy effects. Horror? I've coughed up scarier crap. Suspense? Romance? No it's just bad. This movie is so bad it gives me new insight into the depths of human depravity and makes me lose all hope for the human species all together. Who put this movie together? Who paid for it? Who thought it sounded good? Why did people actually waste the time of day making it? Why are they not ritualistically beheaded for the benefit of all mankind? If this is what people find entertaining then we are surely doomed to a bleak existence. If there truly was a GOd he would never have allowed it to go this far. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I feel cheated out of the 50 cents I paid to rent this. This is my flag to warn all of humanity to stay away from a movie so bad it escapes any term the English language has to describe it. It took me seven tries to watch it all the way through because I continually fell asleep throughout it. Each part I watched I hoped would redeem it and each time I was let down by subpar performance. They couldn't even get a decent looking female lead to make up for the movies numerous gaping inadequacies. I'm currently now enrolled in a 12 step program to help recover from the paralyzing effects of this the worst of all movies. With patience maybe one day I can rent movies without fear again.

This movie will have you shaking your head in bewilderment more than once, but all is explained in the end. This is a tightly plotted story that is an excellent rental! The situations are switched around so many times you won't believe it. This is a very very cool movie!
