Woodyanders A strung-out heroin addict delinquent jerk (played to the obnoxious hilt by writer/director Olaf Ittenbach) tells his little sister two twisted tales of terror: The first concerns on an escaped serial killer (handsome Bernd Muggenthaler) who embarks on a murderous spree while the second and stronger yarn centers on the vile atrocities committed by a depraved and deranged priest (a creepy portrayal by Rudolf Hob).Ittenbach treats the bleak stories with admirable seriousness and maintains a suitably grim tone throughout. Moreover, Ittenbach delivers the gloriously excessive in-your-face over-the-top gore by the gleefully appalling bucketful which runs the gruesome gamut from decapitations to disembowelment to a guy tied down on a table who gets cut and torn up into itty bitty messy pieces. Alas, said splatter in the first story proves to be so cheap, cheesy, and unconvincing that it comes across as silly and laughable instead of gross and disturbing, but fortunately the grisly make-up f/x are done with more skill and polish in the second segment. Moreover, the first anecdote sizes up as a strictly passable slasher outing. However, the second vignette rates as an altogether darker, nastier, and overall blasphemous affair complete with rape, blood drinking, savage beatings, and an incredibly intense and nightmarish climatic descent into hell that goes right for the jugular. Recommended viewing for fans of savage and unapologetic take-no-prisoners fright fare.
zombietackle really, i am only giving this video a 10 out of 10 because of the gore. the splatter scenes and insane. a man getting his eye ripped out, his guts ripped out, his teeth getting drilled to dust, and then getting ripped in half for good measure. seriously, if it's not the gore, it's the visual effects that fill in the rest of the film, you see a burning moon on screen, really. the story centers around a drugged up junkie who, after a fight with his parents and shooting up, must tell two fairy tales to his younger sister. you might think the stories will be parodies of real fairy tales, but no, these are straight forward horror stories, and i liked it. it makes it so funny to be cringing at the gory and horrific stories, and then thinking that this is being told to a 6 year old girl. the first story is about a mad slasher who breaks out of a mental hospital to find true love on a blind date, but the date goes sour when his date hears about him and his stolen car on the radio. gore and total massacring proceeds. the second story centers around a rapist Satan worshiping priest who murders people in a small town, but forget about him, a man gets murdered by a sledge hammer, and comes back from the dead to bring his murderer to hell. red proceeds. check this one out if your a fan of gore and shot-on-video murder fests. 10 out of 10.
exorcist1998-1 I have given this 9 out of 10 for purely the gore effects alone. The rest of the film is weak but for all the gore hounds out (myself included) it is a serious assault on the senses so don't watch this with your female partner as you will be single by the end of the film as most of the serious stuff is at the end.Believe me the effects are very very good, so good in fact that a rumour existed that this was not special effects ! but if you can find it (almost impossible here in the UK) then make up your own mind but be warned its hard viewing. I have only seen it in the original German language and I am not sure if it has even got a DVD release but I may be wrong (I am searching now).
Zombie79 I saw this movie in german minus subtitles so i cant tell the nuances of the plot(LOL)but i quite enjoyed this little gorefest,probably cause i dig German underground horror.There are three stories,they all contain extreme gore,its quite imaginative(esp the hell sequence)and well done for a homemade effort.Recommended for fans of Nekromantik and the like.
