About Mutant Maniacs
The son of a businessman and his bodyguard are kidnapped by a group of terrorists. With the ransom money they hope to buy more weapons and thus finance the revolution. One of the terrorists, a torturing doctor, decides to use his bodyguard to perform his sexual activities and shoot a snuff-movie. The problems for the group begin when the businessman refuses to pay for his son's life, claiming that he is a bloody drug addict and is worthless. Eliminating the hostage may not be such a simple solution, especially when he refuses to die.
Directed by Petter Baiestorf, Mutant Maniacs leans on a strong ensemble — José Salles, Petter Baiestorf, Coffin Souza — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1996.

Hazel runs a beauty salon out of her house, but makes extra money by providing ruthless women the oppurtunity to perform hit jobs. L.T. is a parasite, and contacts Hazel looking for work after he runs out of money. She is reluctant to use him for a hit, since she prefers using women, but decides to try him on a trial basis. Meanwhile, the cop she pays off wants an arrest to make it look like he's doing his job, but Hazel doesn't want to sacrifice any of her "associates". The sleazy side of life is explored in this delightfully dark and deadpan film.
