So what am i not getting?...


So it says it's already released on imdb, and looks like a helluva good time. Why is it that there are so few people on this board and why haven't I heard of this movie at all? Someone please enlighten me...

As far as i know its only played on "Festivals" so far!!! No "regular" Cinema-screenigs!!!
Had its premiere on Sturdays (28th July) at the FantasyFilmFest in Germany und i had the opportunity to see it there :-)
Damn cool low budget Movie!!!
My recommendation if you like a mixture between blood and laughing!

Saw it 2 hours ago at the Fantasy Filmfest in Hamburg /Germany. Indeed a very entertaining film with a good portion of gore. : )

Saw this at the FFF in Berlin yesterday.
Wouldn't consider it a second Braindead, but still a fun and gory movie.

reply

I happened to see it on the interweb.

I saw it yesterday on DVD. Not on a regular release DVD (it hasn't been released yet) but on a press DVD for our rental store. Laughed a lot!
I've never heard about it before, no theatre round here showed it so I think it will be a direct to DVD release.

I guess some people have no sense of humor and little imagination.

I thought it was funny, different, and quite entertaining.

Some of my favorite movies are funny horror movies: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Evil Dead 2, Shawn of the Dead, Severance. This was an unskilled attempt to make a funny horror move, and it failed miserably. Jokes were all basically on pre-teen level. The plot: Ivan the Terrible incarnate living secretly in a Russian high rise making art out of skin? Troma would turn down that plot.

I think you'll find that most of the actors are actually Irish! :)

I thoroughly enjoyed it, by the way. Once the "scissors" came out, I settled right in, and was carried along merrily. Great laugh!

I absolutely LOVED this movie. It was clever, entertaining & very, very twisted - tongue planted firmly in cheek, of course.

I thought the casting was brilliant, I really liked all the actors from Stephen Dorff to Jaime Murray to Hugh O' Conor (from an old favorite of mine 'The Young Poisoner's Handbook', which Btw is highly recommended if you like very dark comedies).

I think Boris 'The Alpha Male' is one of the more entertaining characters in recent memory.

I just don't have anything bad to say about this movie at all. Loved it to death, and was really surprised that I hadn't heard of it before.

This was easily one of the worst movies ever made. To enjoy this garbage you must not watch many movies or you like movies that have no point, terrible acting, cheesy dialog & terrible direction! But good for you people. Oh and the fact that certain people loved this, gee I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that you helped finance this piece of garbage or because you knew someone in it. I guess it's too hard to judge something from a neutral standpoint isn't it? Anybody that knows film knows how much this sucked. But those that liked this must think the Sci-Fi channel original movies are classics then too right? I'm sure you must think S.S Doomtrooper & Lake Placid 2 are Oscar worthy as well huh! Stop kissing ass it's pathetic. At least we can't blame the actor too much, because we know Dorff is pretty good and so is the cute gal on the actual good show called "Dexter." You want to see something good? Try watching the first 2 seasons of "Dexter" or better yet rent all 6 seasons of "OZ" then you will see what is actually good! But I guess you can always fall back to the piece-o-sh*t Sci-fi channel original movies then can't you? Seriously if you think this is good HBO's shows will BLOW YOUR MIND!

Feel better now Drew?

Threatened by opinions different than your own, eh?

Just to be clear, I kinda feel that you are a complete and utter D O U C H E (and stop name dropping all these cable shows already (*rolls eyes*), all it says to me is that you should probably get out more...

Cheers!

Seconded. What a bag of wind.

The emulator-- so... How many times did the director of this movie fvck your mom/wife? She must've really liked it, pvssy!

reply

This time for once, I think that the most obscure remains this movie, the better.
It's supposedly a "horror comedy", actually it's none of them. It's boring, cheap (in all its meanings) and predictable.
Everyone involved in the production of this stinker gotta have guts or to be completely shameless.

2/10
