Nice effects though.

Let's be realistic.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

"Das komabrutale Duell" or "The Coma-Brutal Duel" is a German 80-minute film from 1999. The writer and director here is Heiko Fipper and he is also one of the actors. I am not sure you can say "actors", as no cast member has any acting experience apparently. From what I saw here, I refuse to call Fipper a filmmaker. It is actually his second movie. His first work is from the early 1990s and then he took a break of eight years and then he made this one here. I have no idea why he returned to filmmaking as it is certainly not the case that he improved his skills whatsoever and his first can't be worse than this one here I guess. Anyway, the title is already as baity as it gets, but the film is not good at all, or probably right what you would expect looking at a title. It's gore and splatter from start to finish, but the production values go close to zero really and it looks amateurish during its entire 80 minutes. And sadly, the effects, an area that these films usually make up for weak storytelling, are not good at all either. Is there a good thing about this film? Yes there is. It shows aspiring young filmmakers that you can still make a somewhat known movie, even if you have no talent at all. Apparetntly, Fipper has understood that filmmaking is definitely not his area of expertise and he has not made a new film in the almost 2 decades since this one. I highly suggest you stay far far away.

This is the real goriest film ever made, gorier than Braindead and Premutos, i love the "german ultra gore".Everyone doesn't like this movie because, it's "boring" there are "crappy effects". The gore is present in every scene (example: bloody fights, decapitations, gunshot wounds, "autopsies"), i really can't see why people says that this movie is "boring" and seriously, do you care about acting ?The soundtrack is cool.The plot involves in a man called Heiko (played by Heiko Fipper, the director himself), who kills a mafia boss of the bandera family. The Bandera Family is not happy for this and one of their sons starts to kill all Heiko's family. Heiko, his three brothers and his girlfriend are the only who survived to the massacre. Now, Heiko and his brothers are going to plan a brutal revenge, after several years spent in coma.Don't listen to all the negative reviews, if you are searching for the goriest film ever made....you found it ! Check out "Ostermontag", not listed here on IMDb, but it's directed by Heiko Fipper also.

First off, Im not even gonna attempt to tell you what this movie is about. My copy like the others around here was without subtitles. You can look at theirs if you want to know what the story is. But really, that ain't the reason why you're watching this. You're watching it because it could be the goriest movie ever made. If you got your mitts on Das Komabrutale Duell, you've most likely got your mitts also on Braindead and Premutos. Well, I'm gonna go into what each offers, and tell you which one is king of what.Let's start first with DKD. Out of the three, this is by far the most amateur. It's really just a crappy movie. But, it's so packed with blood and violence, it's semi-watchable. For pure violence, this is in my opinion, the most violent movie out there. I haven't seen the Violent Sh!t movies, but I'd put money down that this probably beats it. It's non-stop stupid violence. Punching, kicking, slicing, stabbing, shooting, sawing, stomping etc, etc. Like I just said, it's non-stop violence, but it's so amateurish, it never feels impressive. The blood, if you wanna call it that (since it looked like brown, soupy diarrhea for apart of it) is all over the place in this flick, but it's mostly just little sprays. But those little sprays add up and probably number close to 100. That means, there's alotta blood. DKD also has probably the most blood with the least amount of people dying in a film. Unless you wanna count movies like The Shining when the elevator opens and blood floods out or Army of Darkness where gallons of blood shoots out of the well. But all in all, I'd say DKD is the most violent movie out there, and is the third goriest. But it's also easily the worst movie out of the the big three.Premutos on the other hand goes down as king of the most deaths. With a total of I think 139 deaths, the other big two don't even come close. It's not as violent as DKD or as gory as Braindead, but it definitely takes the cake with the most deaths and head explosions. Oh and it's pretty funny, thanks to the horrendously awful dubbing. Which is also the preferred way to view the movie.Braindead aka Dead Alive is the king when it comes down to almost all important aspects concerning to a splatter flick. The effects were top notch, the creativity was high (though the tank in Premutos was I guess creative), the amount of blood is gigantic, the deaths were many, the body parts and innards are also aplenty. Unlike DKD which was basically all blood spray, and Premutos which may come close to gore, Braindead does it best with a plethora of all things a splatter fan could want. Not only is it easily the best of the big three, it's also one of the best horror/comedies out there as well. Some may think DKD has more blood, and that just ain't the case. You're just a hater.So there ya go, what most real hardcore splatter fans already know, I'll repeat again. Braindead rules as the best and goriest splatter flick. Premutos comes in second as with the most deaths and gore. And Das Komabrutale Duell places third in the gore contest, but is definitely the most violent movie out there. You could argue that it's gorier than Premutos just because of the large amount of fake blood (which looked awful), but who gives a crap about second and third....and being boring as hell doesn't help it much either.

In my quest to see the 'goriest movie of all time', I finally got my hands on a copy of Das Komabrutale Duell— a low budget German gore-fest which I had seen mentioned as a possible contender for the title. My DVD was in the original language with no subtitles, but I thought I'd give it a go regardless; from what I had heard, the story made little sense anyway.And whilst it is true that this film offers wall-to-wall gore and some scenes that are in extremely questionable taste (foetus stomping, anyone?), I have got to say that I really struggled to sit through this one, finding the endless amateurish effects tedious in the extreme.As far as I can gather, the film revolves around two warring gangs who seem to be indestructible (possibly zombies): no matter how often they are beaten, stabbed, shot or chopped, they always manage to get back up and continue fighting. What the viewer gets is an hour and a half of endless fight scenes featuring oodles of bargain basement gore. Papier-mâché heads explode and are sliced apart and fountains of fake-looking blood erupt from every wound, but these effects are executed in such an unrealistic, cartoonish manner that the results are laughable.If you too are searching for the ultimate in gory movie-making, you'll probably end up watching this one just so you can cross it off the list. But be warned, it's a real stinker and a test of endurance for any horror fan.
