Genre: MenstruationPloitation.
After using excessive force on a perp, a policewoman with anger issues is recruited for a revolutionary new drug that hopes to ease the emotional toll of PMS once and for all.
Things go wrong. Badly wrong.
Going by the title I was expecting something over the top in a Troma/Asylum sort of way and the opening moments where heroine Mary chases down and batters a marauding clown were fun. The events that cause Mary to snap are also neatly handled.
But once Mary is snatched by evil Pharmaceutical company BFD things go off the rails a bit. The problem I had is that after Mary transforms into "PMS Cop" the whole thing is played straight, and unfortunately it's way too flat. She escapes, kills a buncha people and the BFD high-ups watch and argue.
The titular PMS Cop, with her cap, mirror shades and scowl, is a striking, bloodspattered figure who's basically The Terminator in short shorts so it would have been nice if she was in a better film. As it is, there's very little tension and the direction robs her killing spree of any excitement.
Nice idea; execution fatally flawed
