Movie Review: Spare Parts

Quite simply, Canadian feature Spare Parts is likely to appeal to gorehounds interested in watching young women in fetish gear kick butt, but those not in the mood for such fare may find it lacking. The film takes several ideas, from drive-in exploitation movies to postapocalyptic cinema to girls-with-guns fare to gorefests and more, and attempts to blend them together.

The Battle Begins After Victims’ Limbs Are Swapped For Weapons In ‘Spare Parts’
