Why so much hype?

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

DEAR GOD NO! is a straight-out homage to the grindhouse flicks of the 1970s; in particular it seems to be a cross between THE EVIL DEAD and a random biker movie. Instead of being a real film, this is an ultra low budget production packed to the brim with outrageously cheesy gore effects, depraved humour, and female nudity.I found it repulsive in the extreme, but not for the reasons you'd think. The exploitation elements are all well and good, but it's the script that truly repulsed me. It's dumb beyond belief, full of repetitive cursing and nothing else. The characters are portrayed as the stupidest people imaginable, and despite the presence of a large gang of bikers there are no individuals here - they're all a bland, faceless group.The plot is non-existent and only serves to link the various exploitation sequences. The degradation of women plays a pivotal role, with the female roles limited to monsters, strippers, or victims. Sleaziness hangs over the whole production, and as a whole this is the type of film that nobody in their right mind could enjoy. Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR is still my favourite of the grindhouse tributes in existence and in comparison this is nothing, it wasn't even worth making a film.

This is a difficult flick to review because this is a perfect ode to the old exploitation flicks, it's full of bikers, creatures and a lot of gratuitous nudity but on the other hand some people will think that they will see the next big thing are wrong. This isn't going to be another Machete (2010) or Hobo With A Shotgun (2011). This isn't a major production. There aren't big names or real actors in it. And that's maybe why some will hate it but if you do love old exploitations then you are in for a ride.The clothes and music is indeed like it was made in the sixties or seventies. And yes, you have to wait until the end before the gore comes in. There's a lot of talking going on in the beginning. And as for the nudity. There's a strip of one of the girls, there's a show at some kind of strip joint. Oh yes, boys will surely love this for that reason only. The use of camera's and the editing was rather okay for such low budget flicks. But the story will for some be a not done. We even go back to some Nazi experiments and we do have a bigfoot running around.A big cheer for the nude girls. They all look like normal girls, no fake tits and no perfect bodies. Nice flick, and I must admit with good promotion going on. I was lucky to catch an exclusive release of only 25 copies on Blu Ray.Old school exploitation lovers will adore it. The blockbuster buffs better stay away.You don't watch this for the acting, get it...Gore 2,5/5 Nudity 2?5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Compedy 0/5

The terror that swept America has finally found a home on the far side of the Atlantic, thanks to Monster Pictures UK, who will release the movie on January 14th 2013. James Bickert's 16mm exploitation extravaganza Dear God No! is a loving homage to the classic biker, sexploitation and monster features which lit up the drive in screens across the world so many years ago. The Impalers are the most reprehensible biker gang in the Tri State area, one who have raped, robbed and butchered a path across the highways. The movie opens with the gang waking up after a night of debauchery, the ground on which they slept is strewn with beer cans, drug paraphernalia and dead nuns. This is nothing out of the ordinary for the gang who proceed to make their way towards a local hangout to have a sit down with the Satan's Own crew. The meeting goes bad and our protagonists take refuge in a reclusive cabin in the woods, home to a very stern scientist named Dr Marco (Paul McComiskey) and his seemingly meek daughter Edna (Madeline Brumby). They are in the midst of conducting experiments into the mysterious mutilation of local wildlife. Also in attendance are a young couple, one of whom is a Todd. It should be made very clear at this juncture that The Impalers hate Todds. The simple act of home invasion takes a trip into dark and terrifying places, with the tension increasing as terrible secrets are revealed. The blood is thick flowing and ever present, the witty dialogue creates more one-liners than your average stand up show and there are more gun toting girls here than Tarantino has ever dared to put in his movies. The most important thing to know about Dear God No! is the fact that it is a hilarious, depraved and genuine slice of grindhouse. It's nasty, grimy and raw and that's just what the grindhouse features were all about. Bickert manages to successfully pay tribute to the movies and aesthetic which he loves whilst simultaneously creating something very modern and unique. True fans of exploitation cinema will certainly find plenty to keep them entertained within this movie and, hopefully, will ignite some interest in a whole new generation of fans. With a fabulous one sheet by Tom Hodge and a sequel with the amazing title of Frankenstein Created Bikers in the works, this could be the beginning of a beautiful franchise.

I must add my 2 cents. This movie made me mad. Mad because every movie should be like this one. This movie blew me away! It's incredible. Now I must stress that if you are young, not raised on video games that didn't involve a giant circuit board in a large wooden box, have never seen a jukebox with actual records in it and think a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R is the coolest bike on earth... well, you might not get this flick, Skippy. The folks coating themselves in brain destroying Axe body spray while thinking Jason Momoa was a terrific Conan The Barbarian, are probably so so busy Facebooking, tweeting and spending 10 hours a day on XBOX Live to know about this anyway. This is one of those great great works of trash art that you want to share with your friends who get it. The rest of them be damned. Go play laser tag or car surf on the freeway for all I care. The sheer amount of carnage (I counted over 50 kills) done with non CGI effects give you the good old warm and fuzzies. None of the yawn inducing computer people flippin around with fake computer blood here, fake computer blood there. DEAR GOD NO! is a round house kick in the face to digital blandness. It's Bikers, Boobs and Bigfoot, people! This is a man's movie that makes me want to round house kick the computer into the yard. I don't know why I'm writing this, the more I think about it. I'm going to be free and go beer chugging. That is the attitude this movie brings and what everyone should do right now. Take all the culture from the past 40 years and burn it. The movie is great, break free from swill they feed you on TV and the internet. Time to man up, planet.
