Best movie of this year hands down!

Truly Dreadful Film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A very "different" zombie movie. I mean, this could have been a critically acclaimed one if not for the downpour of gay porn in every other scene!The idea of a zombie with tender feelings & thoughts are all nice but all that eating of body parts and graphic gay sex almost made me puke. They could have been done more aesthetically. And too much talking! The female director(actor Katharina Klewinghaus) yaks, yaks & yaks to glory.Nothing special to say about any of the cast. All are average.Verdict: Soft-core gay porn movie. Dead or alive!

I am quite surprised how most of the reviews I have read are concentrating on the political, provocative and homosexual themes in this movie. But I think these aren't really in the spotlight in this movie. In my opinion, the movie is in essence a tragic presentation of a how main character's life has been affected by schizophrenia and of all the movies I have watched, this has been the most authentic and medically realistic movie regarding this disease. There are tens of clues that lead us to suspects of Otto's disease - and this is also worded by Medeia and Otto's ex-boyfriend at the end of the movie (speaking about his mental disease, not specifically mentioning schizophrenia, but still the diagnosis seems to be obvious if we observe the major symptoms presented in the movie: he hears noises all of the time, he sees people laughing at him on the train, his social alienation is apparent, emotional apathy, also the delusion that he is dead is a strong sign of schizophrenia). Otto is not really a zombie - this is only his delusion as a part of his disease. Really tragic is to see how he is isolated now - his boyfriend has left him when he was diagnosed, he is beaten, alone, wandering alone the empty road, not even recognising his own father. This movie has really touched me, although i wasn't particularly amused with bloody scenes. But I could easily forget these and the only thing that really stayed on my mind after the movie was Otto and his life, which has been superiorly presented in this movie.

I saw the film last night at Bangkok International Film Festival and, god forbid, I like it. I mean I thought I would be scared or find it disgusting or something like that. But I'd like to try zombie/gay film (as one of my friend called it) for once. Actually, the first time I have heard of the film, I'm interested. But when my friend who already saw it in DVD(something pirate, I'm sure) told me a brief summary of several scenes in the films, I'm not sure anymore whether it was the right choice to buy the ticket. However, already bought it. already came up to the theatre on seventh floor. So, let's try it.In the first horror scene on the road where Otto did something with the rabbit, I saw several people stood up and gone off the theatre right away which made me wonder..was that beyond their expectation? But after the first 30 minutes has passed everyone seemed to be happy and have a lot of fun watching this. Manys (me included) laughed on a lot of things in the film.Personally, as a person who always wants to see such beautiful touching thing in the film and always avoid this type of movie, I found it really disgusting (ha ha)..and yet memorable. I love every single word spoken out of the female director's mouth. (Big applause to you, Bruce.) And I love Otto character. He reminded me of myself sometimes ago.

b-grade gay zombie porn semi-mockumentary. repetitive, irritating sound design, jokes milked longer than they should. for some, there's not enough blood and guts. for others, there's not enough porn.But all LaBruce's films are bad! that is his charm and the charm of no-budget Cult Films! if you expect more, you won't be alone. but if you expect perfection, then you're a fool. like all those people who complained after seeing Tomb Raider or the Super Mario Brothers Movie - what did you expect?Otto is fun. it's certainly original. it's gay politics are obvious, but accurate. the jokes range from falling flat to funny to shocking. it's polarizing, memorable and thanks to Fritz (Marcel Schlutt), it's damn sexy to watch. Otto needs to be watched at a film festival amongst the typical gay indie films that are more sincere than their film makers can give credit to. Only then will something like SkinFlick's 'monkey rape' and Hustler White 'Stumping' hit you with the full impact that it shouldlike SkinGang - can't wait for the full-porno version of Otto
