Avis à la une
Two hideously annoying bowling teams square off while a murdering maniac bumps them off one by one in various gushy ways, including: decapitation, sexual mutilation, and facial disintegration via bowling ball polisher.
If you're not a fan of blood spraying everywhere or silly porn, then this might not be a good fit. However, if you crave insane gore, have a demented sense of humor, and don't mind a barrage of perverse homicides, then this could be your dream come true!
The operative word here is: overkill...
The storyline is very, very simple; a group of young people get trapped in a bowling hall with a rampart killer.
While the killer in the movie was very plain and silly, then the movie does have a heap of blood and gore, as well as good ways that some people are killed. And that is what makes the movie watchable.
It should be said that there is an excessive amount of cursing, foul language and the f-word is almost in every single sentence. So if you are offended by such language, then you should perhaps skip on watching "Gutterball".
The characters were generic and lacking characteristics and memorability. As such, you don't really connect with the characters and roles, and they are but mere fodder for the killer. Except for Steve who you just hate right away.
"Gutterballs" is fun enough for a single viewing, just don't expect anything groundbreaking.
The movie does have its share of gore but that's poorly done. The movie guys tried hard to make each and every killing scene look very gory but didn't have that class and touch to make it look like one.
Lots of profanities spoken which did seem out of place in some of the scenes.
Overall, not that good a movie that one would like watching. Can be avoided.
At times it comes off as amateurish with its over the top characters, it's subpar dialogue (consisting of constant F-bombs every few seconds due to apparently a lot of improvising). All the characters were quite dislikeable and too over the top. Very one dimensional and provided limited lack of depth.
The special effects are top notch as there were several great looking violent deaths. Including a characters face being completely drained into a bowling alley waxer, an explicit bathroom scene choking death scene, several mutilated body and face deaths, heads stabbed and smashed by bowling pins. It seems that with each passing death went on, it became more violent.
There is a slight intriguing twist in the end to tie everything up. Somewhat predictable but in the end it makes sense and actually provides something clever. The ending did make the overall film better and worth it. With that said, this film is not for the squeamish as many may be offended and disturbed throughout, and at times comes across as trying vaguely too hard for shock value.

Joey: Hey, shit nuts. Your fucking waxer ruined my ball. It's yours now. I want a new one.
BBK: Alright, first of all, shit-for brains, that area's being remodeled. You ain't even supposed to be over there. And secondly, you're a fucking dip shit. It looks to me like you just pressed down too goddamned hard. You're supposed to let that machine do all the work. I don't see it as a malfunction at the junction boy.
Joey: Maybe you should open your fucking eyes then, idiot. There's one inch of sharp screw embedded in the bottom. It's fucked. End of story. Now go get me a new fucking ball.
BBK: Use one of the balls by your lane.
Joey: Those balls are shitty and used, just like your fucking underwear. Now go get me a goddamned new ball!
BBK: Hey, calm down now. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Now you be a good boy and go back over to your lane and maybe I'll go over to the store and get you something brand-spanking new. If you're lucky.
Joey: Lucky? You wanna talk about luck? You're fucking lucky the toilet wouldn't flush when your mom spread her legs and pulled you out with a goddamned coat hanger.
BBK: You're lucky the buffalo beat me over the fence, otherwise I'd be your daddy.
Joey: Oh, that's fucking hilarious. Hey, where are you going? You better be going to get my new ball. I got a fucking game to win, no fucking around!
BBK: Yeah, that's what your mama said.
