| Bloodsucking Freaks |
by Scott Weinberg
"The nastiest, filthiest and just about WORST thing you will EVER SEE!"
|
And I'm not kidding. Once again, I present myself with a daunting task: How to deter you from something after making it sound COOL! Well, if your idea of fun is torture, molestation, degradation and filth, nothing I can say will help you (except for maybe JUMP!)This is that movie you've always heard of, the one that's supposed to be the litmus test for those with strong stomachs, the one where they maybe killed live people and which would make you sick just by thinking about renting it. Kids used to whisper about it on street-corners and no self-respecing video store would stock it. It's been banned, changed titles and is now out of print. It's a badge of honor if you've seen it once, and it's a severe mental imbalance on your part if you've seen it twice.
Basically, these guys put on a play in which they 'simulate' horrible torture and murder. But the surprise is that they are really killing people. But there is no real plot to speak of, merely a series of connected scenes of brutal torture and really disturbing images.
You'll see women get their teeth pulled out with pliers, molested by dwarves and just basically disrespected in many ways. You'll see bodies torn apart and disemboweled and you'll even see one guy drill a hole in a some poor schmuck's head, insert a straw, and drink his brain! I can't really imagine who would get a thrill from this stuff, but rest assured I do not want to party with him.
It's darkly lit and seedy and sleazy, which makes it all the more disturbing. If you think the idea of filthy naked women fighting in a giant cage is sexy, I would have to disagree, because I've seen THIS MOVIE!
As a matter of fact, I can see no real point at ALL in reviewing this movie, as you've never seen it (unless you're a freak like me) and you almost definitely never WILL. Be grateful for that. I'm just writing this as a catharsis, as I've been trying to cleanse myself of this experience for the past 10 years. That's what I get for watching a movie on a bet.When people use the term 'bottom of the barrel', they often forget about the UNDERSIDE of the barrel, which is where poorly-made dreck like this belongs. It offers absolutely NOTHING in the way of entertainment, and I think you're a cruel little nutcase if you talk someone else into seeing it.
