On first look, Markus (Ron DeCaro) and Roland (D.Whitney) couldn't be
more different: While Roland is a fat and single slob who snorts way too much coke,
Markus is a loving family man with wife and daughter. The two men do have
something in common though: They are both practising Satanists, and because of
that, they are into killing and dismembering people (and Markus is such a
family man that he even lets his wife and daughter participate). Eventually,
Markus'
father dies, and Markus and family move back into daddy's house, leaving
their condo to Roland until they sell it. Markus tells Roland though not to do
any killings in the condo, as the place is supposed to be clean for
showings, but when he comes by to check up on the place, he finds it
turned into a virutal slaughterhouse and has to work really hard to make
the place presentable again. But just when he's finished, two Jehova's
Witnesses stop by, and Markus simply can't pass up on the opportunity to
kill them ... Eventually, Markus thinks it's time to shoot the retard he
keeps in his basement to open the gateway to hell (I think), but when he
lets his little daughter do the honours, he finds out she has way more
Satanic powers than he thought she would (again, I think, the film is
somewhat unclear on that). This is really bottom of the barrel:
A film that goes out of its way to be offensive, which means there's gore
galore, severed bodyparts in every other scene, foul language aplenty
(even though concerning this issue, nobody came up with anything more
original than the excessive use of the word fuck by all involved), and of
course a highly blasphemous story. Now none of this is essentially a bad
thing, it's just that writer/director Ron DeCaro totally fails to tie all
these elements together and shape them into a coherent whole, it's just an
endless series of cursing, killing and dismembering without much rhyme or
reason, and as offensive as the film's supposed to be, as boring it
actually is - I guess the overload of meanness quite simply numbs the
senses, and the lack of story or at least likeable characters does little
to get the viewer involved in gthe on-screen goings-on. That all said,
the undiscriminating gorehound will love the movie nevertheless because of
its sheer excesssiveness, but everyone else: Stay well away!
