Fantastic!

Am I Missing Something?

Absolutely brilliant

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Obviously, someone on this development team has seen "Dead Alive", the fantastic, over-the-top gorefest from early in Peter Jackson's career. There are several allusions that made me smile.Without giving too much away, everyone like Tabasco sauce but no one wants a bowl of it. And that is the problem.The bad guys really didn't suffer enough either. The movie spends 85% of the time showing us how extremely evil these biker are. The bikers even kill a victim a la The Manson Family so by the end of the movie we are all screaming for their blood. Then, the entire cast is killed off by a mutated monster. The end. Unsatisfying.Also, is it me or did the monster look exactly like Bigfoot from 'The 6 Million Dollar Man'?I did like this movie. It was a great homage. It's campy and over the top. Even though it aims to be a little tongue-in-cheek copy of 70s Grindhouse, with a little tuning this movie could have actually been a better film.I enjoyed it. But I only recommended it for Gorehounds and crazy film people. Girls will ABHOR this movie so be warned.

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

Dear God No! is a perverse and fascinating distillation of subjects extracted from the best exploitation cinema of the '70s. This is what directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez attempted to do in Death Proof and Machete (respectively); however, Dear God No! is the genuine article, and the result is a gem full of bad taste and depravity made with minimum money and null influence from Hollywood.The exploitation cinema has become a popular model to modern filmmakers, not only because of its implicit nostalgia, but also because it can work as a justification of the lack of talent and low production values we can find in some independent movies. Many directors and screenwriters think that their ineptitude and mistakes could seem intentional if they decide to make a "retro" film. However, that's absolutely wrong. Films like Hobo With a Shotgun, The House of the Devil and Dear God No! prove that genuine talent is needed in order to make a good film with those characteristics, and that the "old film" filters and the period costumes aren't enough in order to get an interesting and entertaining narrative. Dear God No! possesses enough energy and dramatic conviction in order to capture us into the action and keep us on suspense, while making us laugh with its stupidity and ridiculous characters. Sounds contradictory, but it works brilliantly well for those of us who appreciate this underrated cinematographic style.On the negative side of Dear God No!, some performances from the supporting cast feel too rigid. Nevertheless, the experience of watching this film was so amusing, perverse and energetic that I can enthusiastically recommend Dear God No! to the followers of exploitation cinema who want to watch something close in spirit to gems such as Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS or Thriller: A Cruel Picture. And to the casual spectators, I have to warn that there's quite extreme and offensive material in this film, so proceed with caution. You may end up feeling disgusted...or becoming an addict to a hated and occasionally censored cinematographic stratum. I can assure you it's not an easy-to-satisfy addiction.

Why did it take this long for someone to make a good grindhouse movie? Every single one that has been released over the last couple of years suffers from the same problems of being way to slick to be an accurate representation of grindhouse. DEAR GOD NO! proves you don't need a big budget, cgi, name actors and a giant technical crew to make a modern classic grindhouse film. You just need an understanding of why people cherish grindhouse cinema. I'm happy to report every review on IMDb is accurate. This is the love letter to grindhouse I thought Tarrantino and Rodriquez could deliver but didn't. If DEAR GOD NO! had come out before their GRINDHOUSE double feature we may of been looking at a full blown revival instead of the periodic grindhouse-esque films we get like Machete & HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN. I can not stress enough how authentic and original this film is. Instead of just lifting complete plots it takes hundreds of previous elements and creates something refreshingly new. Hopefully this will see a wider release and a franchise of DEAR GOD NO! movies.
