Brutal

Conducting a rampage of extreme prejudice, a savage killer targets women as he tries to find a compatible woman to engage his fantasies in, eventually catching the eye of a female serial killer who's just as sadistic as he is forcing them into a deadly and dangerous showdown.

Overall, this was an exceptionally enjoyable piece of exploitation sleaze. This is one of the strongest aspects of the film and is given to us immediately at the outset of the film, which is the exceptionally brutal and challenging murder scene of the killer targeting several victims and graphically tortures them in wholly demented fashion as his rants about his intentions go unheeded. Its unflinching mentality makes for a truly immersive experience the first thing you see in a film, and to see how he carries out his work cleaning up after himself in the bloodstained aftermath immediately afterward tells a lot about his psychotic nature. That brutality is carried over and rightly topped by us following the woman around. Arguably going for a more brutal approach with her frenzied and relentless stabbing that's generally targeted at their private regions, the montage that opens her story offers us an even stronger glance at what to expect within here the focus on both disparate people come together is the focus here. The final confrontation that occurs, a full-on hard-hitting brawl with each other smashing objects, pummeling and cutting each other or stabbing the other, is an exceptionally tough and brutal sequence to get through as they lay into each with a rawness that's incredibly vicious and realistic long before it unveils the savage twist for their physical beings. This is all truly fun if not enough to overcome its minor flaws. The film's biggest issue is the fact that there's just so little info that the film simply feels short. While the idea is surprisingly effective in how it's realized, the lack of depth into each individual manages to somewhat undo the idea that each person is mentally deranged. There's something to be said for how two individuals come together, but the way it's handled here where they just come together as a stroke of luck rather than being drawn together due to one picking up the other to continue their individual rampages and then discovering what the other does for a living just comes off as a sloppy mechanism. As well as some questionable tactics designed to get a misguided attempt at nostalgia that's just distracting, there's not much else really wrong here.

Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.

Date of viewing: September 29, 2024 How many times watched: 1 Where: Tubi

A serial killer runs into another serial killer and the two of them bond through their love of stabbing genitalia.

Objective rating: (1 out of 5) The stabbing scenes and general scenes of violence in this movie are well done and I would say are the highlight of the film if you are into well done and uncomfortable violence.

There isn't much to the plot, the characters are paper thin, there is no build up or release of tension, and there really isn't much to the movie outside of the violence.

Subjective rating: (1 out of 5) I found this movie to be a bit dull to watch as there isn't much to it outside of the scenes of violence.

Overall rating: 2 out of 10.

Even when the film is trying to deliver a message that reflects life and love through situations and characters, that message is not fully grounded. It is very clear that the film has only 3 chapters, chapter 1 is man, chapter 2 is women and chapter 3 is man and women, the film shows the suffering of love between man and women by ugly, nakedly, it's shows hatred acts for not being loved (or being betrayed) or being not satisfied with desire. The message of the film will not be supported by people because of the lack of humanity, the character is also dirty in every action, it only shows like the animals who enjoy revenge in life or crazy animals who have lost their mind! This is not art! What is the meaning for homeless scenes by the way????

Silly violence & gore snoozefest that has zero redeeming qualities, entertainment value or sense. There is an attempt to make it all seem arty farty including using the scratched film stock effect Tarantino & Rodriguez's Grindhouse but its all so deathly dull and illogical that it would literally be more rewarding and entertaining to watch grass grow.

I like violent and gory movies as much as the next guy but here its just for the shock value AND it doesn't even do that well. I was simply bored and just wished for the movie to end. Thankfully, its just about an hour long but that hour seems really really long. Not a movie I would ever recommend to anybody.

Slasher with the difference being that there is a male and a female slasher who meet and slash away at each other until they learn the impetus for their deviance is their mutual genital mutilation which look too real to be disbelieved. I still can't get over it. This is indeed a brutal movie. I almost didn't watch all the way through but I'm so glad I did. It's original and cinema art.
