Bag Boy Lover Boy

I watched this film expecting it to be a cheapo indie slasher film, but I was exceptionally impressed by the production values and especially by the perfomance of Theodore Bouloukos as Ivan, the sleazy career-minded photographer, Theodore played the role brilliantly, giving a performance that put me in mind of a sort of mixture between Stanley Tucci's Jack Warner in FX's "Feud: Bette & Joan" and William Petersen's Gil Grissom from "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation". The overall story of "Bag Boy Lover Boy" is an urban drama-cum-thriller in the vein of Michael Powell's classic film "Peeping Tom", presenting us with the tragically lonesome character Albert (played beautofully by Jon Wachter), wanting to further his creative prospects as a studio photographer, but with a kinky sort of death-fetish tie-in. Andres Torres certainly pulled out all the stops with this movie and I will be eagerly looking out for any of his future titles, especialy if they are as good as "Bag Boy Lover Boy".

worth 7 + for effort and writing and overall tone balance.

check out some of the critics reviews on IMDb.

well choose cast and decent cinematography I seen lot worst b movies before.

Be nice if director come out with another project as good or better, maybe with same main actor in as he probably did it for peanuts for a friend.

deserve the wins it got

"The Demon Butcher of Meat Street." Oddball Albert works evenings as a hot dog vendor but you wouldn't want to purchase anything from him. Dropped sausages are put back on the grill and dirty Albert picks his nose and even masturbates behind the counter! When he needs to excuse himself to go to the bathroom he just pees behind the stall. A sleazy photographer offers him work posing as an unusual model for adult content. When Albert is given a Polaroid camera he embarks on his own photography, several women end up dying for his art! Jon Wachter gives one of those love it or hate performances as Albert, either way it is very memorable. New York City may have cleaned up over the years but this movie is great viewing for lovers of Grindhouse - raw, dark and depraved but also funny in a twisted way. Expect very strong language, violence and nudity which includes a close up of a shaven vagina. Taking into account an obvious low budget, a cast of unknowns and a directional debut the end result is impressive, most definitely not movie for your average Joe but if exploitation cinema is your thing then I highly recommend you BAG yourself a copy, 'cos BOY you might LOVE(r) it!

Nothing interesting ever really happens.. I read other reviews saying it was going to be sooooo disgusting and not for the faint of heart, but it wasnt all that disgusting.. i mean, it tried to be but kinda failed. No interesting characters, boring plot.

Don't just vote for Pedro, vote out this dark and disgusting cousin of Napoleon.

What an odd little "movie." Probably more of an experiment or a lost bet from drunk buddies, this comedy-horror is so out there, you feel more uncomfortable than entertained. And, even more strangely, this does have a plot and straight line from beginning to end.

An absolutely repulsive (inside and out) NYC hot dog vendor undeservedly gets his big break into modelling and is pushed too far from those using him. Way too far.

Not really to be taken seriously, as this is supposed to be a comedy, our never-hero ventures into the dark side while trying to, ah-hem, model himself after his sadistic mentor. Things don't go well.

Admittedly, I did laugh a couple of times, namely with said boss/mentor. He did steal every scene he was in and that's totally a good thing because the actual lead actor was not pretty to look at. Yeah, that was the point, but once you see how gross he is on the inside, his exterior becomes even more repulsive.

Not really recommended as I don't see anything of mention here. It was, again, an uncomfortable experiment and the few laughs were not worth the measly 77 minutes. Plus, about half-way through, they tried, unsuccessfully, different horror subgenres that made no sense/connection to any of the motivations in addition to somewhat ripping off the movie: Maniac.

See this hot dog man? Catch the next vendor.

Final thoughts: I *knew* there was a reason I hated hot dogs!
