It's impossible to watch Bad without thinking of John Waters. My first thought was that this film must have been an influence on him. But looking at the date, Waters had already made ten films, including some of his most famous. Or notorious. Bad tries to shock, but mostly bores. Of course, that's kind of the theme of most Andy Warhol produced films.
Carroll Baker does a great job as a deadpan, middle class housewife and electrologist who aspires to more via her murder&mayhem-for-hire service. And Perry King is a fine follow-up to Joe Dallesandro. But the over the top performances from the other actors make Bad seem like scenes from two different films spliced together into one mess.
