Director Jake Kennedy must have fallen for the champagne room scam one too many times. The man hates strippers and is out for payback in his new ultra-violent slasher Penance, starring Marieh Delfino (Jeepers Creepers 2), Eve Mauro (Wicked Lake), Graham McTavish (Pandemic), Michael Rooker (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), and, the absolute worst actor in the history of cinema, Tony Todd (Candyman).

The synopsis reads:

PENANCE is the tale of a young, demure single mother, Ameilia (Delfino), who hits upon hard times and decides to take her future into her own hands and becomes a stripper. Everything is going well until Suzy, her stripper friend, is beaten up on a job and recruits Amelia to take her place. Reluctantly, Amelia takes the job, only to find the job isn’t everything it seems. Driven to a strange location by a dark and mysterious man (Todd), and confronted by a grizzled hit man (Rooker), Amelia’s world is turned upside down, as her captor (McTavish), is intent on one thing and one thing only – to purify Amelia and the other women in his incarceration.

Check out the trailer:

While I’m not down with the torture and murder of strippers (what’s next … puppies?), I was thinking of watching this flick to see all the gratuitous T&A Kennedy surely got from his cast of desperate and misguided newbie female talent. But, then I saw the following clip and am suddenly not too sure. Take a look (skip to the three-minute mark if you’re of the impatient type).

Only the ball-less wonders at Fangoria could fawn over some dude losing his junk.
