Might was well stick with Full Moon Entertainment for a while. I’ve argued before that Charles Band was the logical successor to Roger Corman, producing reliably fun, witty low-budget genre films in the ’80s and ’90s. Meridian was full Corman, a ‘sexy’ version of Beauty and the Beast that brings certain aspects of the story that are usually implied to the fore, with lots of nudity to help things along. Sherilyn Fenn, like many before her, found the heat from starring on Twin Peaks to be not a guarantee of success, and sort of became the softcore queen for a while with stuff like this and Two Moon Junction. Anyway, an important milestone in the evolution of the Furry crowd. If nothing else, I assume it’s better made than Larry Buchanan’s Tanya’s Island, or Mistress of the Apes.
