John Ervin the writer/director is a studied fan-boy...He loves movies... While Vixen Highway is not a perfect B-Movie Classic.. it is a flawed masterpiece that shows Ervinknows his way around the block as a writer/director & cinematographer.
If Russ Meyer (and in some 'insane'circles, Ed Wood)had a younger brother, it would be Ervin....
..& I like'em both! Vixen Highway captures the auteur spirit of the 60's french new-wave & and the grit of 70's bad-boy directors. He has a cult-filmmaker's mentality and a self efficient talent, not unlike Chaplin or Woody Allen..that being said...Ervin's flicks vividly capture the freewheeling human spirit. I hope John Ervin continues to make motion pictures, because he has got a light..a joyous spark that shows the potential of a great filmmaker; if given more chances!
