Good story, Not enough for a whole film
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreHaha! They tricked me into thinking it'd be a horror movie but this is a soft-porn scream. I mean a soft porn flick :) If the intention was to titillate the viewers, then it worked for sure! Almost all the lady stars in this movie expose. Of course in such productions, we can expect a story that's thinner than iPhone 5 :) It was quite funny to see the movie do spoofs on The Evil Dead, Hellraiser and who knows what other movies. There's nothing much to say really except that the movie clicks, at least as an adult entertainment :) Verdict: A Silly Billy, Adult Horror Comedy....
... View MoreThe first part of the film is the pure comedy section with the highlight for me being the outdoor fight scene between the four lead ladies and the incompetent, one man band of a film maker named Frank played by Timo Rose. I bet the ladies enjoyed this particular scene. Also,the early verbal exchanges, with a touch of comedy, between the actresses which cleverly revealed their contrasting personalities and attitudes brought a smile to my face. The bumbling, fumbling Frank instantly reminded me of the old Three Stooges characters and it was interesting to note that Timo mentioned The Three Stooges in an interview presented in the DVD Extras section. His confrontation with Magdalena Kalley when he endeavours to take a sneak shot of her with his camera was another comedic highlight.We have to wait until the second part of the film before the horror sequences are presented but the wait is well worth it as the special effect segments prove to be highly effective. A big thumbs up to all concerned in this department.I was already familiar with the work of the two English lead actresses - Eileen Daly (a national treasure) and Eleanor James - and the performances of the two young German actresses, namely Magdalena Kalley and Annika Straub, have certainly encouraged me to look out for further films in which they appear. This film was the first major role for both these ladies and they reveal potential for further screen successes. I have seen Eleanor in several films when she had smaller roles and her performance in this film confirms my previously formed opinion about her capabilities. She has certainly enhanced her reputation and handled her part with great confidence and competence. This was particularly evident in the closing scenes. Clips of Eleanor's fight sequences will probably appear in future compilations of clips featuring girls with guns, swords and other weapons! My only criticism of the film is that the fight scene with a high kicking Magdalena did not go on for a longer period.The appearances of Manoush - one of my favourite actresses - in several scenes was particularly pleasing. This talented lady possesses the ability to dominate any scene that she appears in by merely standing and staring. Great expressions are once again evident. It is a bonus when she actually opens her mouth and moves! I formed the impression as the film progressed that everyone was enjoying their participation in the making of this movie and this contributed to my enjoyment of the film itself. It is a favourable and positive reflection on the film directors Andreas Schnaas and Timo Rose. There is certainly a sense that everyone involved are on the same wavelength and enthusiastic about their contribution.If the objective of a film is to entertain then this one certainly hit the target as far as I am concerned.
... View MoreWith the joining of two great German horror legends - Andreas Schnaas and Timo Rose - you would expect the greatest film ever. However, what you do get is a movie that is just okay. And a movie where the only gore is in the last 10 minutes. And a musical number by Karl the Butcher - but that's a good thing. However, the first hour of the movie is kind of boring. Considering what the movie is, you know the fans just want gore, and it doesn't deliver till the very end. It just isn't well made or that entertaining. See it - but don't expect too much. However, Karl the Butcher vs. Axe was a definite improvement over this, and I know that these two will make many good films to come. Well, good if you like this type of thing.
... View MoreIm starting to think that i don't want to see "Karl Vs Axe" the part 4 of the Violent Sh+t saga. Well, i will watch it because I'm a big fan of part 3 and i think that part 2 is very entertaining. But, since 1999s Violent Sh+t part 3, Andreas Schnaas is only making bad and disappointing movies. Previous Schnaass movie was the horrible and unfunny horror-comedy "Dont wake the dead", now he makes a very similar movie. An unfunny horror-comedy. There are some good gore fx at the ending but nothing more, this movie is hard to watch, its impossible to watch without Fast forwarding. Its boring as hell. Timo Rose co-directs, he is a more talented director than Schnaass but this movie is just awful. The plot? a wannabe movie maker who jerks-off to a picture of Andreas Schnaas wants to make a movie with a group of chicks, then a book appears in the house(like an evil dead homage) and a group of monsters, including Karl the butcher from Violent Sh+it appears. Hardly watchable. 2/10
