The Night of the Virgin

This is one of the craziest and wildest movies I've seen in many years. Without "spoilers", but the last 40 minutes can perfectly cause vomiting, disgust and discomfort in viewers who have some sensitivity. Unfortunately, that is not enough to say that it is "a good movie", because it's not. The greatest merit of its creators is to have done, literally, what they felt like. However, that freedom has become tedious, in scenes two or three times longer than it should (attention to that prologue of the TV, in the Christmas Eve program), and for that reason, the movie lasts almost 2 hours. That is too much. A film with an interesting plot, in many moments really sick, but that does not become what it should be. A pity

It's almost a theatre piece that we get here. But one that many will call disgusting. And it will test your limits in taste and how your feelings (as a joke I reckon, they gave out vomit bags before the festival screening) are about certain things. Calling this sick is almost an understatement. It also doesn't really have a lot of story. Not enough to fill 2 hours that is. It could've done with a shorter running time overall.

It's also a shame that you can see where this is going early on. If you can handle the running time, the bumps along the road and most of all the despicable and dirty things this portrays and sells as comedy (occasionally it works for a moment) you will be able to watch this ...

A male virgin geek attend a new year party looking for some hot chicks for a night of sleazy fun. He only manage to get a middle age woman who seems to be attracted to him.

After following the older lady to her apartment, the geek found out that this lady is practising some weird fertility religion. Because this a horror movie, there's something diabolical about the religion and the geek is about to experience a night of filthy, slimy body horror nightmare.

This Spanish exploitation just want to disgust you, and you're getting that. Instead of blood and intestines, you are disgusted by excrements, dirty bathroom, menstrual blood and close up shot of arsehole. Yeah, it's like a Tom Green comedy.

There's also this one pregnancy birth scene. You think you have a strong stomach, then watch this scene while eating some gooey meal like a pasta with ton of sauce or a steak smothered in thick gravy.

Overall you might like this if you're into gross horror comedy. I am only moderately amused. The concept is also not original since it's a pregnancy horror about someone impregnated with evil. Only this time it's a male that get pregnant because this movie is not only gross, it's also weird...

A young man, eager to lose his virginity, meets a middle-aged woman at a party and they go back to her place. Things seem to be progressing well, but there is something sinister about her and her home. Then her boyfriend appears.

Very weird, and not in a good way. From the synopsis I always knew the movie was going to veer off in strange and supernatural directions but initially this wasn't a bad thing. The movie was even quite watchable for about 40-60 minutes.

Then, from a point, the weirdness gets amped up to the point of totally randomness and incomprehensibility. Worse, rather than at least keeping the scenes short and sharp, the director draws out nearly every scene, padding the movie to the nth degree. Plus, the plot just seems to go round and round in circles, so the movie is padded at the macro and micro level.

The conclusion makes no sense. Maybe I needed to understand what was happening in the preceding scenes to understand the conclusion but that would have required supernatural powers in itself.

Absolutely nonsensical and a waste of time. About the only level this has some entertainment value on is as a comedy.

I know this film doesnt have the highest rating. To be honest I completely understand why. If this isnt your kind of thing you will hate it, no doubt. If quirky, over the top gore that just seems to keep pushing the limits further and further is your thing though you will love this. Plot is just enough to give the creators the excuse to nasueat the audience over and over. Brilliant practical effects, passable acting and infectious humor. I loved it.
