Simply Perfect

Sadly Over-hyped

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Vicious and deranged disfigured killer Karl the Butcher (writer/director Andreas Schnaas letting it all hang out something loopy) embarks on a grisly killing spree. Yep, that's about it as far as the flimsy wafer-thin excuse for a plot is concerned, but boy does Schnaas give the audience their cruddy money's worth with genuinely jaw-dropping bluntness and equally staggering ineptitude: We've got a ramshackle narrative that unfolds at a plodding pace, an annoyingly redundant synthesizer score, oodles of cheesy over-the-top excessive gore (the watery-looking blood squirts, spurts, and spills all over the place), obnoxious cannon fodder characters, tacky solarized video graphics, ham-fisted overuse of strenuous slow motion, a surprise appearance by a crucified Jesus in the woods, crass profane dialogue, a hefty body count, rough'n'grainy cinematography, interminably drawn-out murder set pieces, and a completely absurd ending which comes out of left field. Totally senseless and technically a total mess, this tasty chunk of foul cheddar nonetheless still possesses a certain lovably low-rent home movie charm.

We see the killer briefly as a happy child then 20 years later as a killer. The gore effects are lame by today's standards using fake parts and pig guts. The blood spray was also fake looking. There wasn't much of a plot, random people being in the woods getting killed and mutilated. About 30 minutes or so we get some kind of Satanic explanation, that didn't explain much.Guide: F-word, Fake organ nudity and mutilation.

This is the movie that started it all, Andreas Schnaas shot the whole feature on video, with a low budget and lots of gore.The plot is just an excuse to show some gore: Karl Butcher is a deformed and cannibalistic killer, who killed his mom when he was a child. Now Karl is going to prison, but somehow, he manages to escape, by killing all the police officers with him. Now a bloody trip to the woods is going to start !Besides of gore, we have some "humour" (if you understand German) and blasphemy. There is a small "plot twist" but i am not going to spoil it.I don't recommend it for who wants to start watch the German ultra-gore "genre", watch Violent Sh!t III: Infantry of Doom (AKA: "Zombi Doom" in USA).

Up until now, I have never seen a horror movie that I didn't like. This movie was just awful, awful, awful! The filming is so blurry that you can hardly see what's going on! The sound is fuzzy. The gore is cheap and you can't feel any sympathy for the victims because how stupid they were scripted. I'm sure the director has potential! He must show it. This film does not capture the genius of Mr. Schnaas. This film is also extremely low budget. Although the actors were particularly talented especially the very handsome Mr. Schnaas as the killer Karl, They could not save this movie. Even the castration scene was boring. Mr. Schnaas, Make us a better film!
