Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Woodyanders 2023. Notorious serial killer Karl the Butcher gets released from hell so he can join forces with fellow infamous psycho Axe and take on a grotesque array of brutal gangs in a violent post-apocalyptic society.Writers/directors Andreas Schnaas and Timo Rose really go for broke with this enjoyably loopy piece of blithely demented splatter trash: We've got tacky dimestore CGI (not so) special effects, some tasty gratuitous distaff nudity, hammy overacting (Eileen Daily cops the grand eye-rolling histrionic booby prize here with her scenery-munching portrayal of the ruthless Queen Scara), ineptly staged fights, amusing touches of cheerfully crass humor (a group of female warriors have a gross penchant for drinking semen from their male captors!), and an enormous body count. Naturally, Schnaas and Rose pour on the excessive over-the-top gore with infectious glee complete with decapitations, dismemberment, throat slashings, castration, and blood spurting everywhere with pleasing regularity. A total wacky hoot.
Michael Ledo The year is 2029 following an unnamed apocalypse. The world is divided into groups and Axe is butchering people at a rate that will surpass Karl. Karl comes back from hell to kill the Axe because...okay I don't think too hard on that. The film is better than 1 and 3. It has a camp and grindhouse style.This fourth film is in English rather than German with subtitles. I guess Karl learned English while in hell.Guide: F-word and nudity
udar55 Fourth in this shot-on-video German gore series from director Andreas Schnaas. Karl the Butcher (Schnaas) is released from hell by the devil and sent to a futuristic wasteland where he is to kill Axe (co-director Timo Rose). The place is filled with warring gangs and, naturally, our two titular characters team up after briefly scuffling. But this is no TANGO & CASH (1989). This is really rough stuff and a huge step back for Schnaas. I can hear you saying, "What did you expect?" but Schnaas had been proving himself of making "decent" SOV flicks. I lay a lot of the blame at the feet of Timo Rose, who is always working in goofy sound effects in his own productions and does that here. There is very little style to the film and the set design lives up to the term threadbare as most sets involve a room with sheets hung on the walls. There is the requisite over-the-top gore, but it almost becomes boring after the fourth or fifth decapitation.
explodingnoema It is impossible to describe how pathetically inept this movie is.It begins with what is presumably an attempt at a joke.. a carved pumpkin appears accompanied by the theme from Halloween. Then a title card appears reading sorry, wrong movie. Whatever you think about Halloween you will be wishing you were watching that instead. Magdalena Kelly is the only person of any value in this tripe. She is pretty, has some modicum of talent and performs well in her fight scenes.What she's doing in this crap is a mystery. I suspect that Timo Rose looked up the definition of talent in a dictionary and decided he wanted nothing to do with it.Various members of Gang Loco are played by people who were cast simply because they look weird. There involvement in the plot consists of wandering about with plastic machine guns before being summarily killed.The Mock-Wai tribe is a gang (3) of ageing pornstars played by Eileen Daly, Eleanor James and Marysia Kay. For some inexplicable reason they drain captive men of their semen. Eileen then drinks it, in a grotesque and badly acted scene. It is impossible to choose which of the three females is the least talented but the three worst performances ever committed to celluloid belong to them.There is no plot of any kind. The action scenes are pathetically amateurish. The gore, effects and make-up is laughable. Avoid.
