Haven't watched it yet, but I give it 10 stars. As if you don't know by the title that it's going to be excellent cinema.It's about a guy who pick boogers. And kills. Also, he kills. And picks boogers. He finds these boogers up his nose. In the nostril. He also wears girl's clothes. Not clear if he finds those in his nostril as well. But anyway, he dresses in girl's clothes, picks boogers, and kills. Oh, and there's a transvestite.There may be more to the story, but it is probably useless filler that adds nothing to the story. He may meet a rival nostril picker. And they might have a pick off. Wouldn't that be neat ? Anyway, have plenty of tissue handy. I expect a tear-jerker twist at the end.

This film never ceases to entertain, I must have seen it more than 20 times over the years and it never gets dull. The scene in the police station where the abused tranny tries to maintain his/her dignity while reporting the vibrator attack...Cop:'He attacked you with a what?'...tranny 'He attacked me with a thingy!...you know a thingy!' Cop: 'ma'am are you trying to tell me he attacked you with a dildo?'The acting may be sub-par, but this is really honest film making. Only the truly cynical could complain about the subject matter; It's called 'The Nostril Picker' people...what were you expecting?!?!They just don't make them like this anymore, laugh or cry you'll love it! Fantastic!

The Nostril Picker is a crap film, whether you're a lover of trash movies or not. Yet I still feel it has enough good moments to redeem itself. The idea is unique - I've never heard of another film where a man can make himself look like a girl in order to befriend young girls. As silly as the plot is, at least its a bit different. This film could have been so much better if they had of added more gore and used better actors, as the killer is really quite pathetic. The best scene is when the male hooker goes to the police station to report that he was attacked by the nostril picker. "I demand satisfaction, now!" he says. It's hilarious watching him try to explain to the police officer that he was chased by a man holding a dildo. The gore isn't much to wet yourself over, at least not on the Vipco DVD version I watched. A girl gets her fingers chopped off (a poor mans version of the fingers scene in The Burning), the hooker gets his throat slit, and another girl is stabbed to death but all we see is blood splattering over a wire fence. The ending is quite good and actually original, which gets extra marks from me. Overall, The Nostril Picker is quite boring at times but depending on your opinion, has a lot of good elements like the ones I've described. If you're a slasher fan I would give this a watch at least once, after all, a title like "The Nostril Picker" will have all your friends dying to know what the film is about.

I've been largely convinced to write this review for a number of reasons:1) This is, without doubt, the worst film i've ever seen 2) Unless it gets more reviews it will not be listed in the all time worst films list - which it deserves to be 3) I was kinda lucky - i paid five pound for it. i've seen it in shops for 15 pound. DON NOT PAY THAT MUCH FOR THIS FILM! You will be very angry 4) There are a lot of films out there in the horror genre that are not given a fair rating (in my opinion) and giving this film a higher rating than them is criminalThe plot summary: a guy with no friends meets a tramp who promises the world - well, the magic ability to appear to everybody else like somebody else. Our hero cunningly turns into a teenage girl and joins their gang - sitting on swings, baby-sitting. He kills them one by one until he is tracked and found by the police.Why is it so bad? To begin with the acting is VERY VERY bad. Someone else compared it to a school production. No, this is worse than any acting i've seen on a school stage.I've bought a number of these previously banned films from the DVD company vipco and not been as disappointed as i was at this. okay, the acting is bad but the film fails to deliver in every other sense. What was the point in making this film when there isn't even any gore! okay, no gore. What else can a film like this offer? Breats? No, not even any titillation!it's true this film may have a certain charm in its unique naffness but any potential buyer/watcher of this film should be fairly advised that this film is, at best, worth only one out of ten.
