Phil (Drew Bolduc) has so far lived the life of a womanizing slacker,
living from one lay to the next, and not a care in the world that goes
beyond getting out of gym class. And suddenly he finds himself on the run
from zombie-like men (dubbed misogynists here) with giant erect penises
sticking out of their pants, ready to rape and kill any woman they find.
He's ultimately saved by Misandra (Colleen Walsh), a tough-as-nails chick
who has only recently killed her boyfriend after he turned into a
misogynist. She tells Phil that the water supply is tainted with a serum
that turns men into misogynists, and to keep Phil from turning too, they
have to find a well for him to drink from. On their quest, Phil and
Misandra run into Phil's gymteacher (Cody Crenshaw) and his gang of jocks,
who have not yet turned ... but have turned to gangrape as their new
favourite pastime all the same. Fortunately, our heroes are saved by a
mysterious masked man, Ludas (Kenneth Hall), who promises them untainted
wine if they come with him. Over a glass of wine, Ludas tells his story:
He was one of the scientists responsible for creating the serum turning
men into misogynists - mainly because he wanted to grow a bigger dick to
impress his hot lab assistant (Ariel Canton). That the serum was released
into the public water supply wasn't actually his fault, and he somehow
wants to end the reign of the misogynists - but he has experimented with
the serum on himself, so it might only be a matter of time until he turns,
and then ... Basically, The Taint is a party movie, it's
dick jokes combined with violence, zombies combined with gross-out humour,
with the occasional naked breast and cum-shot thrown in just to keep
everyone's naughtier side happy. And as a party movie, The Taint
works pretty well, it's well-filmed and well-paced, and the gore effects
are well-placed and look pretty good actually. And still, The Taint
falls several feet short of what it could have been: It could have been a
biting satire on misogynism, sexism, and a country's obsession with penis
size, all told via the zombie genre. Basically, this film is full of
beautifully controversial topics that it could/should explore, but it
invariably goes for the cheap joke, barely even scratches the surface, and
this derives itself of any deeper meaning. Now don't get me wrong, with
the right amount of alcohol or certain substances, you'll no doubt enjoy
this one, it just could have gone way beyond that.
