Bag Boy Lover Boy

"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!

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

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.

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".

Another one of my pun summary lines - and another one that is sort of fitting I might add. Now before we go on, you have to ask yourself one thing: do you care for low budget horror movies? Do you like watching them, for whatever purposes (tingling feelings while being safe, escapism or any other reason)? If so, and you generally watch horror movies, you may want to give this a try.

Apart from the horror (violence/effects), you also have a fair amount of nudity in this. Actually there is a shot of a vagina at some point - which you may feel is unnecessary. Apart from maybe shocking some of the audience members. And that is what the movie sets out to do. More or less it does succeed. It is looking very good when it comes to the video quality, the framing and the editing is also well done.

Acting wise you may feel it has some flaws. That is a fair assessment. But you normally do not watch these for that particular reason. The story holds up to scrutiny overall. I have seen better executed (another pun) and well done (thematical) movies than this one - so this is only for the hardcore fans. But for the budget it had, it is decent.
