Ella-May O'Brien 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.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
merklekranz This is essentially a one joke movie. The catchy theme song "Psychos in Love" will stay in your head long after the film is forgotten. The killings are not creative enough and seem overly repetitive with the numerous slashings. The script is padded with Woody Allen type talking to the audience interludes, and overly talky scenes that do nothing to advance the story. "Psychos in Love" comes across as either a sincere homage to "Eating Raoul" or a total ripoff. Similarities abound, same squeeze toy squeaked by Robert Beltran, the frying pan bop on the head, reading outrageous newspaper headlines, and a plumber who wants the bodies for his own secret purpose. - MERK
Woodyanders Bar owner Joe (a likable performance by Carmine Capobianco, who also co-wrote the script and composed the score) and manicurist Kate (winingly played by adorable redhead cutie Debi Thibeault) find true love with each other. They share a mutual affinity for killing random strangers and a vehement disdain for grapes. Joe and Kate get married and continue to bump folks off together. Director/co-writer Gorman Bechard whips up a blithely depraved, yet bouncy and silly tongue-in-cheek black comedy romp that benefits tremendously from its gleefully sick tone, outrageously excessive over-the-top splatter, plentiful tasty female nudity, and the funny and strangely endearing central romance between the two engagingly quirky main characters. Capobianco and Thibeault display an utterly appealing off-center chemistry as our lovably unhinged protagonists; they even sing the priceless cute'n'catchy theme song during a hysterical cornball music montage sequence. Moreover, there are nifty supporting contributions by Frank Stewart as deranged cannibal plumber Herman and Donna Davidge as shrill and whiny bored stiff motormouth Heather. As an added substantial bonus, the gorgeous Cecilia Wilde struts her smoking hot stuff as sexy stripper Nikki while Ruth Collins, LeeAnn Baker, luscious "Penthouse" Pet Angela Nicholas, and Patti Chambers all bare their beautiful bodies. The admittedly gross and twisted gallows humor is made both amusing and tolerable by being presented in a disarmingly casual and playful manner. Bechard's crude cinematography, the tacky make-up f/x, several choice gags about breaking through the fourth wall (for example, the boom mike purposefully dips into the frame at one point!), and Capobianco's cheesy synthesizer score all further enhance the movie's considerable lopsided charm. A total off-the-wall riot.
greenie420 This movie really sucks . That is what makes it so good. The " I hate grapes" dialogue foretells that this is one of the worst written screenplays of all time . Even the sound effects are overdone . Ed Wood couldn't have done it (Better)? . Whatever. This is a must not see .
horror_fan1999 This movie has it all, psychos who fall in love and kill people, and best of all its got a theme song!!!! If you see this at your local rental place, do yourself a fav, and rent it. One of the few movies that make me glad to be alive.
