About This Movie

The Unholy Rollers is an interesting mix of action, comedy, and drama, set against the backdrop of the quirky roller derby world. Karen, played with a spirited edge, leaves her mundane cannery job searching for excitement, but man, does she hit some bumps along the way. The film captures the raw energy and grit of the sport, punctuated by some decent practical effects during the matches. Mickey, the reigning queen of the rink, serves as an excellent foil, embodying the competitive spirit that roller derby can ignite. It’s got a laid-back pacing but ramps up when the action kicks in. This one's got a real '70s vibe, a bit rough around the edges, but it stands out for its exploration of individuality versus teamwork.
