CommentsXp Best movie ever!
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
zombietackle really, i am only giving this video a 10 out of 10 because of the gore. the splatter scenes and insane. a man getting his eye ripped out, his guts ripped out, his teeth getting drilled to dust, and then getting ripped in half for good measure. seriously, if it's not the gore, it's the visual effects that fill in the rest of the film, you see a burning moon on screen, really. the story centers around a drugged up junkie who, after a fight with his parents and shooting up, must tell two fairy tales to his younger sister. you might think the stories will be parodies of real fairy tales, but no, these are straight forward horror stories, and i liked it. it makes it so funny to be cringing at the gory and horrific stories, and then thinking that this is being told to a 6 year old girl. the first story is about a mad slasher who breaks out of a mental hospital to find true love on a blind date, but the date goes sour when his date hears about him and his stolen car on the radio. gore and total massacring proceeds. the second story centers around a rapist Satan worshiping priest who murders people in a small town, but forget about him, a man gets murdered by a sledge hammer, and comes back from the dead to bring his murderer to hell. red proceeds. check this one out if your a fan of gore and shot-on-video murder fests. 10 out of 10.
Karl Self This was my first Olaf Ittenbach movie and I loved it! OK, so it's budget gore, and if you cried to "Shakespeare In Love" or need to impress your girlfriend with your sensitivity, then this probably isn't your cauldron of festering sewage. But if you're hankering for a bit of bare-knuckles film-making and a few ladles of ultraviolence, then this vid's for you. It's gory throughout, and for the hell scene near the end of the movie the film crew really pulls out all stops of depravity.This is the movie that all teenage boys dream about making. I am all the more impressed as I know how complicated and cumbersome video editing was in the early Nineties -- a lot more difficult than editing ordinary silver-halide film (keeping image and sound in synch was an absolute bitch of a task), and no comparison to today where you can just do it on your PC.Actually, for those of you unfamiliar with the trials and tribulations of linear video editing, let me provide you with a little 101 on the subject matter: while video made shooting a lot easier and cheaper, editing became hugely more complicated as on video the sound is about two seconds out of synch with the image, so after each cut the new scene would be silent for the first two seconds. Also, precise cutting is tricky, editing scenes in or out is nearly impossible, and the image quality degenerates quickly -- it's an absolute nightmare. This explains some of the strange technical features of this movie, they were necessary compromises which Ittenbach was forced to make, rather than cute idiosyncratic ideas of his: namely dubbed soundtrack, dictatorial scripting, and single-take scenes. The love and dedication that went into making this movie seems strangely at odds with the destructiveness and hate it narrates. I look forward to seeing more of Ittenbach's stuff.
exorcist1998-1 I have given this 9 out of 10 for purely the gore effects alone. The rest of the film is weak but for all the gore hounds out (myself included) it is a serious assault on the senses so don't watch this with your female partner as you will be single by the end of the film as most of the serious stuff is at the end.Believe me the effects are very very good, so good in fact that a rumour existed that this was not special effects ! but if you can find it (almost impossible here in the UK) then make up your own mind but be warned its hard viewing. I have only seen it in the original German language and I am not sure if it has even got a DVD release but I may be wrong (I am searching now).
esculacho If you are looking for gore, guts, murder, rape, brutality, satanism and lots of blood, this is the movie for you. It makes me wonder if Evil Dead is really the best of them all...(but I know it is). Don't miss it, if you want spend a nice bloody weekend this is the one.
