SynopsisKill the Habit photo

Take three hot women, a cute but nasty drug dealer, an LA setting and you have the makings of an off-beat award-winning ride to funnyville. Galia, a recreational user, nuts her dealer in his apartment with a piece of the Berlin Wall after he gets stroppy and steals her money. Panicked, she calls her best friend Sotiria to help move the body, only to be interrupted by Cardamosa, the dealer’s druggie wife who, far from grieving, takes control of clean up operations and leads the body on a zany ride around downtown LA. All this against a background of increasingly loopy users who pop in to get their fix. Director Laura Neri, winner of the best director at the LA Femme Film Festival last year, steers a successful path between front room farce and thriller, peppering the film with great one-liners and a lesbian back story that’s as sweet as the film is nutty. Throw in a circumcision, a sleepy burglar, Xanadu on Ice and a carpet-loving hobo and it all adds up to a fun evening out.
