Don't waste your time, it's rubbish!


Don't waste your time watching this film, it's all hype.

The whole thing is like some bad student art film, it's dull, badly filmed, badly edited, meaningless... and it isn't even very violent or gory.

Although it isn't the best film I've seen, if you think it's not violent or gory then you're either;

A) Just trying to look cool
B) Have serious f7cking mental problems

Instead of being like every other idiotic STV hater, why don't you actually EXPLAIN what was so "rubbish". All people ever do on IMDB is call EVERYTHING rubblish without actually explaining anything.

I've noticed the new way to diss a movie lately is to call it a "poorly made student film". How about you actually address some of the movies issues instead of being a child?

reply

If you think this is very gory or violent (Notice the use of the word 'very'- it does have some violence and gore) then you're either;

A) Someone who hasn't seen many gory or violent films.
B) Someone who is involved with the 'film' and is trying to promote it.

Here is why it is rubbish and like a bad student movie.

When students try and make movies, most soon realize that they have nothing to say, no idea, and no real reason to make a film so they try and cover it up by basically *beep* around with the sound and picture, as much as possible.

"Oh man, look if I slow down the sound I can make them sound all creepy, this is so cool, lets do the whole film like this."

No lets not.

The film is rubbish because it has no plot, no real characterization (so the 'gore' has no affect), no decent dialogue… I will stop here, I can’t be bothered to go on. If you think this is a good film then there is no helping you.

Haha thats just a cop out because you KNOW you don't have the slighest clue what you're talking about. You still fail to explain your view.....Which shows you're an idiot.

reply

But I explained my view and then I said I can't be bothered to go on (i.e give you even more reasons why the film is crap). How many more reasons do you want?

Did you fail to notice that? Are you an idiot?

reply

Don't start with the idiot crap, I'm tired of listing to jerks like you. Are you not capable of being polite for once in your life?

You say you can't be bothered going go, which shows you really can't explain why the film is "crap">

Do you realize that the film is actually an allagory for life and death? All of the scenes in the film are homage to either a classic book like Dantes Inferno or something as simple as the bible. SVD was a well thought out master piece that only true fans of film will enjoy because they posses the capacity to read into films; this is not a movie you can just watch it is one you have to annalyze. If you won't/can't do that then I can see why yoou didn't like it.

Also the camera angles and slowed ounds and voices make the film more realistic because when someone is possesed that is supposedly how things are experienced. So call it "student film" if you want to, but I say it has imagination, it is supposed to be a documentary style film it looks like it and feels like one. I personally am looking forward to the other two parts that Valentine is making.

Before you try to pull that card I am not accociated with the film in any way.

"It just failed to set anything up so that there was any terror. I'll agree with some peoples' sentiments that it's more of a fetish film than hardcore horror. Afterwards I watched Invasion of the Neptune Men and felt more terrified by Sonny Chiba being surrounded by young boys in short shorts."

Now, that made me laugh me arse arf . . . !

Thanks for the comment.

Oh yeah. terrible waste of film, and our collective time we've spent even thinking about this tripe.

This whole thing is just so sad.

Demons? Possesion? How old are you people?

If you can't find anything worthwhile to make a film about, please don't waste everybody's time with this kind of *beep* There are so many people out there making decent horror films with a genuine cohesive structure & outstanding effects that it really irks me to see people gushing over a trash-pile like this.

To call SVD a 'masterpiece' is to dissappear so far up your own anus that you should no longer be taken seriously. Critiquing this movie with terms like "Student film" is ENTIRELY accceptable, given the rambling execution and overly stylised visuals. SVD struck me as a 75 minute low-budget attempt to replicate the stylings of Kyle Cooper's seminal opening credit sequence from Se7en.

My time has been wasted.

Dude, everytime someone even mentions SVD you jump at the chance to trash it. I'm not a fanboy, but dude come on!

reply

I was infected by the "hype" (just read some reviews which said SVD would be the sickest film ever made) and I just wanted to watch this flick.
I was really disappointed :(
It is sick because it has absolutely NO sense and it's just weird. But it isn't violent or gory... maybe it is when you've never seen a (real) gory/splatter-film before ;)

Just a damn boring waste of time!

reply

Well I'm not sure you understand the definition of gore; SVD had quite a bit of gore, whether it was disturbing or notis a whole new story. I've seen every gore film in the book & I still though it was reasonably gorey.

Offcourse it can't compete with the likes of Dead Alive & such though.

People like him ARE idiots, thats the differents.

"Oh look at me I'm 10 years old & am trying to act 40! the film was garbage & crap lalalala!".

I'm not a fanboy, no way. I'd say this to anybody who said the same thing about any other movie. I mean people on IMDB are pathetic, the extent of their vocab when reviewing a movie is "garbage, trash & crap".


But yes I agree , the director a f8cking tard.

reply

Don't insult people and accuse them of being a "troll" when they retaliate, especially when your pretentiousness almost rivals that of this pathetic excuse for a movie.

Cremasterfan made valid points - it DOES look like a bad incoheirant student film. The pointless backwards/slow motion footage IS annoying. The violence/gore IS comparitively tame to many respected horrors out there.

I found it to be unbearable, Just how little there was going on. It could've easily been condensed into 30 minutes if not less.

Maybe I'm missing the point, maybe a guy puking into a beermug and drinking it repeatedly is making references to the bible and kurt cobain. But that's not what I'm disputing.

I'm just saying it's garbage, trash, and crap. Thankyou iceman.

Excuse me, the last time I checked this was a free country so I'll say whatever the hell I like. I think this guy is an idiot pure & simple. Like most people, the extent of his vocab when reviewing a movie is three whole lines consisting of "garbage, trash & crap". It's pathetic. Then you & this other guy expect me to just not say anything? Please, this a forum for voicing opinions & thoughts. Move to North Korea if you can't handle that.

Do you even understand the definition of pretentious? The context which you've used it in makes absolutely no sense. Just another child trying to use big words. Oh & "Thank you" is actually two words. I've said it a thousand times before & I'll keep saying it untill you fools get it; if you thought the movie was "crap" then don't post here. The only excuse you have for posting here more then once after you've "voiced your opinion" is to troll & be a jacka$$.

Don't bother trying to continue a pointless internet fight which you have already lost little man, You don't have the manpower & I am hitting the IGNORE button because I'm sick of listing to mongers like you.

reply

Pretentious; "making claim to or creating an appearance of (often undeserved) importance or distinction"

I think that can be quite accurately applied to this movie, and some of the comments you've made towards others' OPINIONS. Am I allowed to say "hypocritical", or would that be me using-big-words-to-impress-grown-ups?

At the end of the day, this movie is weak every way mentioned in the initial post.

I thought the gore was alright. Funny enough I shot a short film called "Torched" at the same warehouse apartment where they shot the death scenes in SVD! There was some blood left over, just a few drops, when I started shooting "Torched", but when I left, there was hella blood that stained some wallpaper that I thought was actual brick, turns out you can't buy that brick wallpaper anywhere. The whole place had a bad vibe to it and the blood stain I left just added to it. In anycase, let me give my two cents worth on SVD. I thought that the FX artist did a good job on the kill scenes, I actually gave him his first effects work on Final Destination. So the director had a true pro doing the snuff stuff. I thought the overuse of the demonic processed protools fiesta of the leads dialogue or ramblings was annoying as hell. I think The Exorcist is a classic example of satanic vox put to fantastic use. I thought the camera work was decent, a little to MTV music vid style for my tastes but it kept me awake. I thought the lead, the Lavey chick, was pretty good, although I would've appreciated some actual hardcore penetration given she was a porn actress and the director had obviously no intention of getting an R-rating. Maybe some shots of her whoring herself out, some XXX, would've given it some needed balls. I did think that what the director was trying to do, he did. He created a movie filled with tons of vomit shots and the slaughtering of women (dolls) in this case. It's exactly as labeled. Now, what about pus gore. Popping zits and killing whores? Is that next or has it been done? lol! Overall it was worth the purchase for the nudity and gore.

Adios,

reply

well, its clear that iceman has somthing to do with the film, prolly the guy who made it trying to stand up for this silly film, and i respect that. please make sure that your arguments are logical and mature so we can all have a good time talking about horror and hopefully do better in the future. remember, some horror is better than no horror!

i have seen many many gore movies, and i guess this is a gore movie. my problem is not the gore part, of which there is a lot by regular horror movie standerds, it is the movie part. the gore does look really good though, espically when i think of the early gore like the great herschall gordon lewis. when i think of the word "movie" i think of plot, characters, and some type of reasonable narrative. this has none of that. is it a movie in the sense that it is long enough to be? yes. does it play in a dvd player? yes. im sure some people will like this, but i dont think it will be liked by anyone who has seen a lot of horror or gore. there is really nothing to see here, lots of cuts. LOTS. i would say it is kinda like the video from the ring as it is a bunch of weird images-meaning nothing that i can make out. now that is fun for a few minutes but not for this long.

over all, i love the way the director tried to do somthing different. he made a really really stupid movie, but he did do somthing different. you know, there is a reason why this movie has such a low rating. i can only think of one movie i was more bored at, and that was the troma film maniac nurses find extasy. now that movie has nothing to do with this in any way but that is all i can think of that is this silly.

as far as the sex goes, there is really not much when you think about it. i guess there are lots of boobs...but you would think in a hardcore movie like this they would not be so afrid to show a vagina. to put things in prospective there is way way more nudity in showgirls.

the vomit is the only thing that stands up to its word. talk about a gimmick. if you like max hardcore...enough said about that.

im sure there is some meaning somewhere. im also sure that i could watch it 500 times and never get it. im also sure i would rather eat poop then sit through this again. i own litteraly hundreds of horror dvds, but if this one did not come in a cool package i would have thrown it away. there is some great editing here though.

i know iceman is going to try to tear what i said apart here, and i would love to explain myself more to him or her. iceman said to be spacific and i tried to.

i give the movie a 0 of 10 personaly, but im sure some people may give it a 2 or 3. if you have seen tons of gore, you may find 5 minutes of fun here, but i can tell you tons of better gore. i dont think these are satan's proudest moments, im pretty sure satan was laughing. stick to classic horror- any 70's cannibal epic (my soft spot!) flower of flesh and blood, nekromantik...you know the movies that are classic im sure.

im not trying to be mean. i would LOVE to talk more about this or any horror movie with anyone. and you can emil me about that at sliver of flesh @ sbc global . net

maybe it is hard to be mean about this movie because you cant poop on poop. :)

i know i have already said enough but i know if i made a film, i would go to the page here on imbd and vote it a 10 over and over! why not give your own film a good review?

i just saw the voting and i see that it recived 57 ten votes and 54 one votes! CLEARLY the cast and\or crew has been giving this a 10 vote here. ha ha ha. if i were you i would be a little more subtle in the future. it is a little obvious where there are 111 ten or one votes and only a TOTAL or 21 votes for ALL number 2-9. this is NOT a case of love it or hate it. i think 54 people hated it, and the cast or crew liked it 57 times. funny. but i guess we ourselves are the only ones who think our s*** doesnt stink. hey, valentine, your s*** stinks!

Actually I havenothing to do with the film and I gave it a 9 because I thought it achieved everything it wanted to. So just so you know not all of the good grades this movie got where from people on the cast and crew. Also Iceman simply has a different view on this movie than you do so stop being a troll and making up excuses just because somones opinion is different than yours.

By the way I have seen a massive amount of gore and shock films from all over the world and I still liked this movie because it fulfilled its promise. It delivered a set of images and hallucinations that all came together to form a coherent story of the last few days of a dying girl. I watched it once and understood it fine, I don't think it is really that complicated, sorry.

reply

what? i was and am very respectful of anyones view on this and any other movie. i think i made it very clear that my review was what I thought of the movie. i did not claim to speak for anyone else. i respect icemans view. i respect your view.

a troll? i did not mean to come off as anything but a horror fan writing a review.

i am having trouble understanding what you mean when you say i am "making up excuses just because somones opinion is different than yours." what does that even mean? making excuses for what? my opinion is my own, i make no claim to know what anyone else is thinking. all i did was write a review of this movie and i think that adults who view this post will appreciate reading what another person thought.

you know, i like a lot of movies that it seems no one else likes. I realize that any movie could wind up being someones favorite or a 9 here on imbd.

i never said this movie was complicated, i said it didnt make sense to me. i said i could watch it 500 times and it would not make sense to me. i did not say that it would make anything to you. how would i know if you understood it or not? for the record i do NOT think the movie was complicated- i think it was incoherent. notice that i use the word "I" that is because it is MY opinion.

thank you for informing me of the rating you gave the movie, interesting. i respect that and wish that i had enjoyed it that much myself.

i am wondering if anyone else thinks that this movie as you say "came together to form a coherent story of the last few days of a dying girl." that seems really strange to me. TO ME.

about the movie doing what it said it would...all it said was "these are satans proudest moments" and i dont think the leader of all that is evil, satan, would be most proud of this movie. if satan were real and he was most proud of THESE moments shown in this film, why would anyone make another horror movie? if the leader of all that is bad was more proud of this movies images that ANY other, ever...are you saying this is the most evil move EVER. my point is that saying "these are satans proudest moments" is a very tall order.

i just dont understand what "promise" the movie made. did it say it would be very gory? because i dont think it was THAT gory. did it say it would have extreme sexuality? because it didnt. it did deliver on the vomit part, ill give you that for sure.

in fact the movie claims to have invented a new genre of horror "vomit gore."
guess what? this is not the only vomit movie, and it is certainly NOT the first- of anything.

what a strange reply you wrote...very defensive. like icemnan...why are you both so fiercely defensive about this movie...almost as if you had somthing to do with its making. just giving you trouble...lighten up, perhaps you should re-read my review.

email me if you would like to talk horror and gore. i would love to hear what you think are the hardest are most entertaining shockers out there.

i just read the message called "how long should it take get here." the message is located under slaughtered vomit dolls and the user is saying...

"I ordered it from the slv website from california
how long should it take to get here? any 1 know?"

that is good and all but then ICEMAN654 (who insists that he is NOT involved in any way with this movie) replys...

"Well where are you?
Overseas = about 2 weeks
Locally = about 5 days to a week."

he he he...i guess he is involved after all. that tells you what kind of movie this is when cast/crew/mailman, whatever, has to come on here and defend it. :) honesty is ALWAYS the best.

Iceman could simply know from having ordered it himself. That is also a coherent possibility.

reply

What I meant was that you are saying that no one could possibly like this movie unless they were involved with it. That is taking away the purpose of the forum, the forum is so people of different opinions can come together and talk about movies, to so cheaply write off his (or my) opinion just because it is so different from yours is purely childish.

The troll comment was made because of how condecending you were speaking to Iceman and myself. Nothing more.

The only reason we get so defensive is because you are so condecending and for lack of a better term arrogant about how you approach this movie and the people who liked it. You give reasons but at the same time you attack anyone who liked SVD. It would be the same as if I said; I love this movie because it appeals to intelectuals. It is subtle but implies that anyone who doesn't like or understand this movie is not intellectual. (Just an example by the way before anyone gets thier knickers in a twist.)

If you are going to attack people expect people to react defensively.

reply

And obviously you have no sense of humor. But I don;t go about being a jack-ass and letting everyone know that I'm a jack-ass, like you do.

reply

Actually, you were being a jack-ass; and, you tried to wrap it up in sarcasm and failed. I'm just pointing out that you are not as smart as you seem to think that you are.

reply

Just watched it. Disturbing? yes. Gory? kinda. Shocking? yes. Good? kinda. After hearing about this movie through the grapevine from friends of cult upsetting flicks, the reviews were much as they are here, very very mixed. Some liked, some disliked, some loved, some hated. I'll have to watch it again before I make up a decision.

The movie is worth sitting through if you have the stomach for it, and if you are into movies for the sake of "why in the hell, how in the hell did they make this?" (Just hide the remote, as another reviewer mentioned...) If you are however looking for a truly disturbing film, check out some of these others as well: Anthropophagous 2000, Cannibal Holocaust, The Aftermath, Men Behind the Sun, or anything from the Guinea Pig series (ie "Flower of Flesh and Blood")

Noteable elements from the movie are the Documentary style cinematography because of the effect it created on the obvious budget restraints and the violence which was well executed on the budget as well.

Elements that were taken to the extreme include the vox effects and the camera speed, both of which crossed the line of "cool effect adding to the overall feel of the movie" into the realm of "enough is enough already".

To conclude, if you are interested in watching a movie for the sake of being able to say, "yeah I saw it, it was f7cked up..." then watch it! If you are looking for a good scary movie, look elsewhere.

I personlly didn't care for this movie at all. If I would have paid money to see it I would have been highly disappointed. I understand artistic expression, but I thought it was poorly put together. I'm not sure of the budget for this film, but I'd be hard pressed to say they did their best making this one. Don't waste your time on this one.

reply

I didn´t care much for the movie either. Nor do I buy the explanation some posters give, that the movie also portrays a deeper meaning on life itself... or something like that. I could impale a bunny on a knife and show it to a crowd and explain that this represents the fleeting essence of life that passes us by, just like a shining reflection on the blade of a knife... but truth is, it´s still only a dead bunny on a knife. This is simply some vomit & gore on a film. That´s it. Not very good.
