Through some sharp-witted dialogue and adequate horror humor, it’s not a tough watch by any means.

Hemet, or the Landlady Don't Drink Tea is a delightfully campy crime/thriller that possesses thematic relevancy.

The “Liz” makeup Butler wears makes the character look like Granny Leatherface, which is in no way a criticism. If there’s a primary reason to give this film a shot, it’s to watch Butler’s nightmarish performance as Liz.
