Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Scarecrow-88 Howard and Eli return in this satiric sequel, as hosts of a pirate public access station snuff show where they mutilate and dismember special guests(..the guest on their show in this movie believes she's test screening for a role in a splatter movie)invited and unknowingly volunteering for their own destruction. Eli and Howard provide their bloodthirsty audience with a series of violent acts to this *actress* such as scissoring through her arm using the veins as a way to give the camera the finger, extracting her eyeball, removing her thumbs, etc. The show also has commercial breaks featuring recordings of murders to other victims including the damage inflicted on a victim tied to a home-made electric chair, what happens to a pizza boy thanks to three man-hating women who decide to kill for the first time, what employees and customers of a video store do to an outsider attempting to rent some movies(..nice use of saran wrap and a blow-drier for this particular girl), a newly hired employee at a grocery mart is used by her bosses as an example for their new experimental devices such as a slice'n'dicer that chops fingers into little pieces and a blood drainer if you have a taste for something different, and a little pet monster for sale who can kill your children if you are a tired parent looking to decrease the members in your family. Sicker, more twisted(..and more tedious and outlandish)sequel from writer/director Gary Cohen stretches his premise a bit thin. The two twists at the end are amusing enough, I guess. Many of the gore gags(..like the exploding face of the victim being shocked in the hot seat)are more laughable than before, but slasher fans who liked the first film from Cohen might get a kick out of this one. I kind of found this sequel rather long-in-the-tooth, wearing out it's welcome pretty quickly. Uke and Bart Sumner, as the warped duo, are living it up again, cackling and giggling as they *torment* their new victim. Everyone in the film seem to be having a good time.

Woodyanders Those demented hillbilly sickos Howard and Eli are back and worse than ever. Now these two depraved degenerates have their own pirate variety show on cable television. The decidedly unwholesome program includes commercials for sick items (you just gotta love Wilber, an evil fanged teddy bear that rips out little kids' throats!), terrible groan-inducing stand-up comedy routines, snuff videos sent in by viewers, and the gleeful on-air torture of naive aspiring actress Debbie (hot busty blonde babe Elizabeth Lee Miller). The homemade snuff videos are hilariously mean-spirited hoots: a folksy retired sheriff and his darling wife fry a dangerous criminal in their basement electric chair, a trio of sexy college girls blithely butcher a hunky pizza delivery boy, the staff and patrons at a video rental outlet slaughter an out-of-town chick, and a jolly deli owner tries out his new killing instruments on an unsuspecting lady victim. Writer/director Gary P. Cohen plays the whole warped premise for uproariously tasteless and offensive pitch black humor that's often crudely amusing in an admittedly lowbrow sort of way. Uke and Burt Sumner have a grand hammy time as Howard and Eli; their unrestrained eye-rolling histrionics may not be subtle, but they are quite entertaining. Gordon Ovsiew likewise makes a nice impression as the show's sunglassed hipster geek piano player. Better still, this flick sure doesn't skimp on either the excessive cheesy splatter or tasty gratuitous distaff nudity. A terrifically tacky howler.

chanvat Man the plot and acting for this movie absolutely suck. However, I can say that the acting is so bad its funny, in a campy sort of way. However, the saving point of this film is the kills, which are actually somewhat creative and extremely gory (as well as fairly realistic). Not bad work for a film with what looks like a $2,000 budget.

bigkittywilliams Cool movie and you should see it. Lots of good hacking and breasts. Not as good as the original to me, but I liked it somewhat. In this movie there really isn't any plot- about 60 minutes of it is an actual recording of the Howard and Eli show. the best part of the movie was the organist Gordon, who was really awesome. He also wrote the music. He was the genius behind the music.
