Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
hyped garbage
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Olaf Ittenbach will do ring a bell with the gorehounds. His flicks are full of splatter and ultra gory but this time Olaf moves away from the horror genre. But don't be afraid. It's still Olaf.What we have is in fact an intro on a graveyard where the undertaker is questioned by a first time reporter. Short after we move into story one. It takes place nowadays in a mobster world. Things go wrong and punishments should follow and they do in ultra gore. The second story was for me the best part. The story looked more believable and the acting was much better. It takes place in the dark ages with the inquisition taking place. The story is better because the gore isn't there not just for the gore. But the torture and slaughtering is splatter and gore galore. Part 1 has clearly German actors trying to speak English and it shows. After the second part we move back to the graveyard with the final. It's one of Olaf's older flicks that had a proper release in 2012. Just go search Olaf's other splatter friend Timo Rose, he's to be seen in the second part.The story is simple and we do have blood and gore just for the sake of it so if you can't stand that don't watch it but for the gorehounds this is has a real boner effect.Gore 5/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 1/5
This is one of the best splatter flicks I have seen in my entire life!! At first I was convinced that this was just one of those cheap German movies that come out.Oh boy was I wrong.Dead wrong.I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING AT THE GORE!!!! This film makes Hostel look like "Sesame Street". Not even Ichi the killer came this close!!!! Mutilations,beheadings,evisceratons,and rape this movie offers in spades!! Not even the women and children are safe as they get their heads crushed and are raped! This is over-the-top sleazy fun that would even make Tarantino vomit his guts out!!! People who criticize this should know: their movies doesn't even come close to the high I experienced when I watched this movie.Olaf Ittenbach,you deserve a standing ovation.Bloody well done.
I am currently halfway through this film, and as it so very boring, I thought I'd pass some time writing this review. You see, I never (usually) leave a movie unfinished, but this time I'm rather tempted to make an exception. I am only kept away from the "Stop"-button by some perverse yearning to see how bad a film actually can get - there might be a few more surprises in store! Besides, a rather handsome actor appeared for a change, and he is actually able to do some acting, also a very refreshing mutation. But I don't actually know what redeeming factors I could find in this... what's the word... film? It's not funny, it's not interesting, it's not even horrifying. The sadistic gore fest is rather amusing, at the same time being utterly disgusting. There are better and more interesting slashers around, that actually manage to entertain. I personally find that kind of constant limb-hacking very tiresome. The multitude of accents from Bronx to real and fake British and imaginary medieval European is an acoustic gore fest in itself.
This movie is really intense, shocking and violent as hell, This is the goriest, bloodiest movie i have ever seen, All the violence was intense and kind of made me sick to my stomach. If you enjoy splatter/gorey & bloody movies, watch this movie.
