Gorgasm

A bottom of the barrel private detective begins to investigate some weird crimes. There is an ad on a magazine with the image of a hot chick advertising "Gorgasm, the ultimate climax" and apparently the "ultimate climax" is death. Gorgasm is a low budget SOV from 1990 so expect a complete home movie look, this is not Digital SOV. If you can watch SOV and don't mind about it, give this one a try. The lead, Gabriela, is hotter than hell and is topless all the time. The soundtrack id very good, the tune "Sex Toy" is still on my mind, excellent.This is the first from a trilogy that includes "Gorotica" and "Gore whore", i will check this two also. Definitely, Gorgasm is worth a look.

When I first saw this film, maybe 15 years ago, I was "meh." But having recently re-watched it, I was super impressed! It's like a fine wine, Gorgasm has aged well! I wish someone would release this on DVD, so much fun! Heck, I wish someone would release all THREE films in the "Gore Trilogy!" And the crazy killer chick ain't bad on the eyes either! And THAT theme song! I was humming the damn tune for days! A really weird, fun film, and a real time capsule of SOV filmmaking! I really miss these wacky DIY old shot on video horror films. I really wish more were readily available on DVD. Fingers crossed! That would be an awesome Christmas wish come true!

Made by Draculina magazine publisher Hugh Gallagher's it's his first flick in some kind of trilogy, the other being Gorotica(1993) and Gore Whore(1994). Somehow those flicks are searched by collectors. Still not having an official release you have to search the bootleg world to get your hands on.

Gorgasm being his first attempt and it shows, just watch the credits, looks like it is done with a Commodore C64. Not only that, a lot of hiss on the sound and filmed on VHS I guess. But the flicks are know for the nudity although Gorgasm doesn't has full frontal like his others.

A detective, Chase, sitting too long behind his desk can finally go out to stick his nose in a killing, a man being tied up and murdered. We actually do see the killing done by a voluptuous girl stripping before her victim. Once the stripping's over she slices the man. It never becomes gory, the only thing done is the sound of the knife going in and a bit of blood running down of the victim. The sequence stops when she's licking the bloody knife. quickly the detective find his way into the world of SM and porn.

As I said, it shows that it is a low budget. The acting and locations (the police office) are laughable.. Just look towards the 'Sarge'. Doesn't look like a cop and even her clothes aren't for real. And the way she says her lines, looks like she's reading it from something.

Yep, a videotaped exploitation very cheapie made with extreme bad acting but it delivers on the nudity and blood. Only Rick Billock (Chase) has made it further into the horror scene already coming out of Flesheater (1988) as a farmer and is still in the scene.

If it was shot better it could have been a rather good flick. You can see that the director knows what he wanted only didn't had any money. Some scene's do take a bit too long, like when Chase is visiting a porn shop it takes ages while the camera is filming all VHS available. For porn addicts it's interesting because it's the real stuff and some will recognize some labels or 'actors'.The graphic nudity really comes from that shop or the office of a porn director. The camera showing the posters does reveal all. Even a full-frontal transsexual. In fact while Chase is watching porn VHS we can watch it too and it's there that it becomes explicit.

Further is slow and boring sometimes. And still interesting for the latter reasons.

Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 1/5 Story 1,5/5 Comedy 0/5

This is the first movie by the guy who directed Gorotica and Gore Whore. A woman places an add in the personals for the "ultimate climax". Which means you give her all your money and she kills you.

I loved the directors other movies, but this one is a little too low budget. You can obviously tell it was his first movie. The acting is absolutely horrible. It seems like he put his friends and family in this movie. The deaths are nothing special because the effects are so bad. This only has topless scenes, where as his other movies have full frontal nudity.

I was in the film too (Max). It was a whole lot of fun to make the thing. I bet the folks of Hamel IL are still talking about the time we were there. Hugh really should have told them what was going on. :)

The whole thing felt like we were on a real movie set: it didn't have an air of cheapness about it at all. Hugh is a great guy: I wish I could have been involved in other projects of his.

Oh, I went back to Hamel IL to see what the town was like, many years later. Stan left that hotel: from what I was told, one day he just picked up and left. That rundown little restaurant is still there, as is that bar with the great fried cod. In other words, except for Stan, the town is unchanged.

Every once in a while I bug Hugh about doing a new film project. Hugh is doing all right with Draculina; I don't think he has any cash to throw away on another film. And that's a real shame.

You mean Hugh's films aren't on DVD? Considering how easy it is to do (even I know how to do it, and I have ten sets of thumbs), I'm surprised he hasn't.

At any event, Gorgasm was as fun to be in as it was to watch.
