I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

*Spoiler/plot- 1998, The Chosen One- Legend of Raven, An native American shaman woman is killed and her sister is unwilling to take up her sister's tribal position as a protector-priestess. She reluctantly accepts the spirit job. SHe eventually has to fight her boyfriend's over bearing ex-girlfriend that is possessed by an opposing demonic Indian spirit.*Special Stars- Carmen Electra stars as lead role, Raven.*Theme- The natural force of good will always conquer evil demons.*Based on- Native American legends.*Trivia/location/goofs- A semi-nude scene of Electra drenched in milk is something to view. This is a TROMA film. It has plenty of sex and guts, but not necessary the best story or acting on celluloid. Some female nudity.*Emotion- A superficial script that trades mainly on the sexual attraction of the lovely Ms. Electra. Her acting is mostly unwatchable, due to the viewer expecting her to laugh out loud after delivering her asinine dialog badly. But the many semi-nude scenes of her possessed by her good Indian spirit during combat and sex is engrossing to any male viewer.

If you're not familiar with Troma films, you may be totally thrown off by this offbeat film. Now I'm no Troma fanatic, but I've always been slightly fascinated by Troma in the same way a passing driver is fascinated by someone getting shot on the freeway. As far as the Troma films go, the worse the better. These are the people who brought you the "Toxic Avenger" and "Class of Nuke 'Em High" movies. But I figured I'd buy the DVD since even if I totally hate the film, at least I'd get to see Carmen Electra get naked. Well, she does get naked, though not as much as I'd prefer. But the scene where she pours milk all over her body is very worthwhile, and there's some great close-ups of her big, firm boobs. There's also many great shots of that firm, bubble-butt ass of hers. Not to mention close-ups of her beautiful face. But for a Troma flick, this is like "Citizen Kane"--not "Citizen Toxie." I mean, the film actually has a plot, as well as attempts at creating dramatic tension. And the acting really isn't bad at all! The actors actually sound like they remembered their lines and aren't reading off a teleprompter. Is this Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz's way of showing they have depth? I don't recall any gross-out effects and other than Carmen's two nude scenes, no gratuitous shots of naked (often fake) boobs. There's even a shot where a woman is entering a shower and her back is turned the camera as she unclasps her bra. Then we cut away. Just when did a Troma film ever spare a boob shot? But overall, it's a pretty bland film. It tries to make a serious film out of a goofy premise. About the only Troma trademarks I found were the two dumb rednecks. Those are definite Troma characters! As I said, I don't always appreciate the Troma films, even when they don't try to be tasteful and try to be as taste-LESS as can be, but there's no use trying to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Go for tasteless next time! And more naked boobs! That's what Troma's all about! By the way, if you are gonna buy the film, please get it on DVD. It has some absolutely great features, including many gratuitous clips of naked Tromettes--which compensates for the lack of them in this movie. My score: 5 (out of 10)

Oh what a waste of tape. The movie was supremely wretched, yet not bad in a way that is funny. The only redeeming feature for pieces of dreck such as this is that usually they feature lots of hard, naked bodies. But no such luck here. You'll get almost as much skin watching an episode of "Days of Our Lives," plus the soap offers much better writing, acting and direction. Unless you really enjoy watching a fully-clothed Carmen Electra being chased through the woods by redneck drunks, skip this thing.

I disagree with himikey. Any film that has Shauna Sands running has my vote. This is not a great piece of film, but it is better than some of Troma's previous work. If you like Carmen or Shauna then see it.
