Paramedics

If this was a high school film project it would only get a C. Yes, it's that bad.

This is the story of two brothers, one clearly a sociopath and one that is either on the autistic spectrum or has some kind of mental deficiency. If they said I missed it. The pair pose as paramedics and take the patients back to their home where they harvest their organs and sell them on the black market. One night they pick up a woman who clearly resembles someone from their past and instead of killing her, they keep her alive. I do not wish to say more as it will all be spoilers.

The good:

The body horror is quite good. This was clearly a low budget movie, but the gore was very decent.

The three main characters are actually pretty decent actors, especially the guy that plays Jeffery, the autistic brother.

The story is not like one I have encountered before and keeps your interest.

The nudity, while not copious, is very pleasant to look at.

The Bad:

All the axillary characters were played by people that were so bad I would assume they were found on the street and asked if they wanted to be in a movie.

The suspension of disbelief is kind of hard to do here. It would not be possible for these guys to do this sort of thing for very long without being caught. How many people can be picked up in an ambulance and then decide to vanish before someone caught on?

The merkin. Oh my God, it could not have been more obvious.

If you are a fan of horror and suspense, I would say that you should give this a watch, though do not expect anything grandiose.

A lot of folks are rating this movie poorly, which confuses me. I thought the story was good, the acting was great and the gory effects were very believable. Sure there is some twisted sex scenes that might make you uncomfortable, but that was the directors idea, to get you out of your comfort zone. I really liked this movie.

Two twisted brothers, who had both had an incesteous relationship with their late sister, pose as paramedics. They listen in on and respond to 911 calls but instead of giving medical assistant they remove victims' organs to sell on the black market. I read no reviews of Paramedics before watching it and it got off to a promising start, with gore, nudity and amusingly bad acting. Then the brothers respond to a second call,a young female hiker (played by Jenice Marshall, who sheds her clothes numerous times throughout) with a twisted ankle. And this is where the film just plummets. They kidnap her and hold her captive in their crude operating theatre, subjecting her to physical and sexual abuse. This had potential but sadly it's her ridiculously unbelievable relationship with her captors and the sheer boredom that kills this movie. Most of the running time is in this one room and the film is mainly about the triangle between the brothers and their victim, just so incredibly boring. I think the makers attempt some black humour but there is too much bad taste here (girl, "Is it rapey time again?). The end thankfully does perk up but it's too little, too late. Just FFWD to the gore and nudity senes!

Honestly when a film is bad I usually have to consider its rating carefully but not here boring premise boring movie nothing more to be said and if you waste time on it you will only be left saying "why did I bother"

The premise is ridiculous in all honest and I love a good horror or gore movie or a film with a good twist but this has none of those.
