I re-watched this again tonight for the 1st time in ages with a bunch of mates and we were in stitches. Great daft film all told. Had it on video for years, did it ever get a dvd release?
shareYes my mate has this on DVD. Not sure where he got it from as his mate gave it to him. First time I'd ever seen it and loved it. Parts reminded me of Braindead, especially the music and overall feel of the film.
sharewe own 4 copies on dvd....
it is pretty hilarious, starts to go down hill once the horror really kicks off but the first 2/3's are utterly hysterical, great 'country' humour.
It's a funny film alright. Made me chuckle when I first saw it, back on VHS rental. Made sure I had my name down for that cassette when the video library finally sold it off. Still got it, in fact :)
Yes, it did get an official UK DVD release - just been watching it. The one I own was released on the Medusa label. Probably long out-of-print. It's not a great DVD, to be honest: no special features whatsoever, picture-quality that looks like a VHS transfer, and a full-frame (4:3) presentation. Worse still, it's one of those full-frame transfers that pops into letterboxed widescreen (1.85:1) for the titles and then back to 4:3 - y'know, just to rub in the fact that you're watching a cropped version.
As for the film itself, it still holds up, I reckon. Or, at least, it's no better or worse than it ever was - if that's the same thing?! Lots of very British, very vulgar, humour and a marvellously foul vision of deeply despicable inbred farming folk. Fittingly, the only scene in the whole darn film that's tastefully-done is the goat-shagging scene: their eyes meet, love is in the air, and - cut directly to the cigarette(s) afterwards :) Anyone who's avoided the film for fear of it "going there" needn't worry - it's a gross film, sure, full of bodily-function gags, but no, it doesn't "go there" with the goat-shagging.
I suppose a more recent film which reminded me a lot of this one was the New Zealand offering "Black Sheep." I don't think comparing to "The Evil Dead" (as the distributors did on it's original release) was accurate or helpful - tonally, it's nothing like "The Evil Dead." As a previous comment said, it has far more in common with early Peter Jackson movies, like Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, or Braindead. It's that sort of deliberately tasteless, vulgar horror-comedy that the British, Australians, and Kiwis have a shared penchant for. It's our common ancestry, I guess. Yes, let's blame that :)
Lots of flatulence jokes! And I absolutely love Billy himself - so cool!
