The Period (2007) They used to call it "the curse," and for Sharrie Heiman (Angela Dix), that's exactly what it is: she has her period all day, every day of her life. As if that weren't bad enough, she has to cope with an out-of-control girlfriend, a lecherous gynecologist and a slimy agent too. Valerie Castro and Keith Dunn co-star in this blood-drenched satire full of bizarre behavior, over-the-top dialogue and not-for-the-squeamish gags.
