One of my all time favorites.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

IGOR AND THE LUNATICS is the usual slice of Troma trash that makes little sense as a proper film. The plot is supposedly about a criminal gang leader who is released from prison and arrives in a small town, seeking revenge by having his goons terrorise the townsfolk. The opening scene is the most memorable part of it, including a topless girl being bisected by a circular saw, although for some bizarre reason this whole sequence is subsequently repeated (a cheap a way of padding out the running time as ever I've seen).The film is the usual mish-mash of bad editing and wooden acting, only coming to life towards the end when it becomes a kind of revenge thriller. Some of the practical gore effects aren't too bad, but IGOR AND THE LUNATICS is definitely a barrel-scraping movie otherwise.

It's unbelievable to see how many amazing films Troma has put out in the past 30 years. I'm not going to pretend that every film they've ever touched has been golden (see I Was a Teenage TV Terrorist, Deadly Daphne's Revenge, Blood Hook, etc...), but more often than not they're always at least worth a watch... and this film is definitely amongst their better productions.First of all, this is not high-brow entertainment. The whole film is a mess; in fact, the actors in the second half of the film are completely different than the first half (but playing the same characters). Second of all, there isn't much gore in this film (despite the back of the box saying that the film climaxes in the most violent bloodbath in the history of film).But if you like a little bit of humor, some silly violence, and plenty of Charles Manson homages (which, in all reality, is all that John Water's early films were), then this is for you. The whole film is played very straight and not for laughs, which makes it even better. Trust me, this film is completely hilarious, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. And there's some rape and torture for those that like that kind of stuff too -- but, again, not too much.I appreciated the murky, backwoods surrounding of the whole thing, and the hippie atmosphere. And, really, there's not a boring moment to be had in the whole film. So, yeah, of course I recommend it... if you're looking for a serious horror film, though, you won't be pleased.Also, to let you know what you're getting into here, the leader of the group isn't even named Igor -- he's just a member of the group.

This movie is truly one of the worst pieces of garbage ever. It really is surprising that something so completely terrible could be made. But, if you can stand the mind-numbing plot, character development, and direction, you may get a kick out of the soundtrack which is so appalling that it is funny. The movie begins terribly and quickly becomes unwatchable. Someone should give anyone involved with this movie some sort of consolation because their career was probably ruined because of involvement in this movie. If you do end up seeing this movie or have seen it already (I feel your pain) then these words have come too late. For anyone else, Stay away at all costs or realize that the movie is so bad that it will waste 2 hours of your life. Then at least you can clean up or something while viewing it.

If this movie had stayed in the sixties, where it started, it might have been a bearable story, but obviously the writers couldn't stretch their imaginations far enough, so they had to fast forward to the eighties to keep the story going with a horrible heap of cliches.
