CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Steineded How sad is this?

Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

Viva_Chiba This is the movie that started it all, Andreas Schnaas shot the whole feature on video, with a low budget and lots of gore.The plot is just an excuse to show some gore: Karl Butcher is a deformed and cannibalistic killer, who killed his mom when he was a child. Now Karl is going to prison, but somehow, he manages to escape, by killing all the police officers with him. Now a bloody trip to the woods is going to start !Besides of gore, we have some "humour" (if you understand German) and blasphemy. There is a small "plot twist" but i am not going to spoil it.I don't recommend it for who wants to start watch the German ultra-gore "genre", watch Violent Sh!t III: Infantry of Doom (AKA: "Zombi Doom" in USA).

BA_Harrison An escaped psycho with a massive meat-cleaver hacks his way through lots of people, meets Jesus, and 'gives birth' to a baby.German underground horror director Andreas Schnaas' definitely can't be accused of giving his debut splatter-fest a misleading title: Violent Sh*t is both violent and sh*t! Without even the slightest hint of an intelligible plot to get in the way of the endless barrage of offensive visuals, the film acts primarily as a showcase for Schnaas' cheap-jack gore effects, which range from the fairly routine (severed heads, hands and assorted meat-cleaver murders) to the downright revolting (a woman is cut open from her snatch upwards and disembowelled).The blood gushes in impossibly bright red, the various prosthetic body-parts look thoroughly unconvincing, the dialogue is dreadful (best/worst line: 'this bullsh*tting job is f*ucking me to sh*ts'), there is an overuse of horrible video effects (solarisation and shuddery imagery), all the actors are unattractive with the majority sporting nasty mullets or perms, and no-one even thinks to fight back against the killer.However, despite being one of the most inane, poorly constructed, and downright shoddy pieces of film-making I'll probably ever see, I've got to admit that, as a card carrying gore-hound, I enjoyed Violent Sh*t just a little for its sheer audacity, and occasionally, its plain weirdness.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.

bert_i_gordon Violent Sh*t was the first "film" (video) by Andreas Schnass. While it's a terrible movie, it does have some merit, and arguably, some scenes that are almost artistic ( the Jesus scene, which shows Karls inability to become one with Christ, or become good, because all he knows is violence). Or something like that. Or just no......Whatever it is, it's not "anti- religious" like some people have stated. Although, I can see how it could be offensive, but then again, if you are easily offended, what are you doing watching "Violent Sh*t"?It starts out with Karl as a boy killing his abusive mother, but not until after smiling directly into the camera and laughing. We then cut to 20 years later, with Karl escaping from the police and killing various people for the next 57 minutes with a gigantic cleaver he just happens to have had all this time. He mutates with every murder and passes out, having visions and nightmares of his past were he saw the devil as a child. Finally he melts into a pile of goo, and a baby pops out. Right.For a movie with that title, and it being all about the gory effects, one shouldn't really complain. Anyone who picked up a movie called "Violent Sh*t" and was expecting "Casablanca" is at fault. But don't get me wrong, it is a bad movie. There's just nothing holding it together, except for the gore, and nothing is ever explained.As for direction, I guess it's fine. I know that sounds insane, but in a movie that's all about gore, it's perfectly fine. Schnaas is sure to show all the gore in lingering closeups. Because that's what it's all about, the gore. It's not about Karl's emotional states, or any sort of character development. "There's somebody. Now go kill him". That's it. The same goes for acting, the victims scream fine. And Karl is a mongoloid, or something.Now to clear up some myths and misconceptions surrounding the movie. First off, Andreas Schnaas is not Karl the Butcher. Karl was played by an "actor" named Karl Inger, Schnaas played the loudmouth tree cutter who gets cut in half with a tree trimmer.Another is that all "real gore" was used. Real animal blood and organs. This is obviously fake, because animal blood is not Pepto-Bismal, nor is an animals intestines sausage links, which were obviously used during the gutting scene.Violent Sh*t was the first German direct-to-video horror film.Some people state Violent Sh*t was a successful midnight movie and was pulled by the censors. This cant be true, because I doubt a film print of Violent Sh*t was ever made, and video projectors did not exist in 1987. But on this I could be wrong.In the end Violent Sh*t is a bad movie. No doubt about that. However, there is something interesting about it. Perhaps it's the fact that despite being made tongue in cheek, it's still played brutally straight. And that makes it interesting for a few reasons. What were they thinking? Why was this made? Who was this made for? There some of the same questions that surround a movie like "Blood Freak", or "Legend of Blood Mountain" (both wonderfully bad movies). And at least Schnaas wasn't insulting our intelligence, just his.

Teeeelicious After seeing the title of this movie a man can't help but be a little intrigued, so I picked it up. Wow, and is that saying right..."curiosity kills the cat" and it nearly killed me. This is by far one of the most sick and twisted movies I've ever laid eyes on. The movie is about the Karl "The Butcher," an unrelenting mass murderer who shows no mercy to his victims. Judging by the title, you can imagine some of the things he does to his victims...no nevermind, you can't because a sane person in their right mind wouldn't think of the sick ways to kill a person. 'Violent Shit' is filled with dismemberments, disembowelings, castrations, and even feces eating and it's some of the most sickening stuff I've ever seen. If you're into extremely low-budget (this movie is shot with a camcorder) and torture films, this pointless gorefest is the movie for you! Otherwise, if you're easily offended, avoid at all costs or else you will die of a heart attack after the first 10 seconds of the film.
