Jasmine Strange, a vampire from planet Arus, is sent to earth to use a
serum that will turn humans into zabbadoings (sex-crazed zombie-vampires)
on the descendants of Fun Helsing - however, being on the run from a
couple of slapstick cops, Jasmine loses the serum, and this way it is let
loose on the entire population - not that Jasmine worries too much, as
this way everybody becomes a zabbadoing, and a biiig orgy commences.
Eventually, two vampire hunters try to put an end to the zabbadoing party,
but even they can't resist participating in the orgy for too long ... A
blend of vampire flick, underground/experimental moviemaking and hardcore
porn - now this is a mix that hardly ever amounts to something good, and
unfottunately, in the case of I Was a Teenage Zabbadoing, it
doesn't: The start of the film is pretty good, actually, something
somewhere in between slapstick comedy and silent serial, but the quality
quickly decreases as Carl Andersen loses his narration somewhere in the
proceedings, and his associative editing techniques don't always make
sense, especially when juxtaposed with porn scenes, making the film an odd
hybrid of Jean-Luc Godard and Jess Franco, with neither man's genius or
charme. That all said, at least the film's experimental new wave sountrack/soundscape
is pretty impressive, and all the girls do look pretty good - now
that doesn't save the film by any means, but at least it amounts to
something.
