Pervert!

A word. What is the pervert? Sex freak, deranged degenerate, disturbed diabolical psychotic subversive embracer of things both erotic and erratic.

If you have no interest in seeing Mary Carey and other large-chested ladies naked, this film is probably not for you. Personally, I do not find Carey attractive and am not really into voluptuous women. Nude women, sure, but just not of this body type.

I liked the meat sculptures. I wish they played a bigger role, but it just was not meant to be.

Is this film the successor to Russ Meyer? At least one reviewer thinks so, but I say that either gives this film too much credit or is just downright insulting to Meyer. I would say the sensibility is closer to the films of John Waters, but even that is giving this film an undeserved comparison.

The movie is very cheesy, but has a few humorous moments. For some reason, Netflix lists this as a horror film. I would call that a bit of a stretch. I mean, yeah, there is blood and murder, but not until the second half. (I guess you cannot be a half-horror film, though.)

The most unpretentious - thrown to the wind and splattered all over your face fun. I thought this film was going to be disturbing- but quite surprisingly , I love it more and laugh harder every time I see it. The soundtrack is genius. The acting couldn't be more perfect to fit the bill. The "dating" scenes , brilliantly executed. Hats off to the creative team who had the courage and folly to execute this extremely complicated B movie with style and finesse...and a hell of a laugh unlike any other film you have ever seen can give you- at least in my opinion (and I am a woman.) The bizarreness factor has you wavering between - "What is this?!" - to - "This is brilliant and totally unselfconscious!"

Look, I'm not going to take a thing away from Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino when they take on the task of re-creating the classic B-movies of the Russ Meyer era -- but when you have $50 million bucks at your disposal to spend on state-of-the-art effects and every actor in town lining up to work with you, let's just say you're working with advantages that Russ Meyer would have sawed off his own leg to achieve.

Jonathan Yudis did it on a real Russ Meyer micro-budget, and pulls it off beautifully.

Pervert is an over-the-top spoof with deliberately hokey special effects, obviously fake violence, joyously cheesy sexploitation, and deadpan acting by a cast that's obviously enjoying what they're doing.

If you're a fan of the Russ Meyer classics, this is a must-see movie.

I do not know whether Jonathan Yudis is the heir apparent to Russ Meyer, but he sure can make one crazy film.

The current Governor of California had to beat another actor for his job - Mary Carey. The way she eats an ear of corn or pours honey all over her body will quickly make you forget the Terminator. Who cares if he'll be back when you have Mary.

Now, to see Mary, we do have to put up with Hezekiah (Darrell Sandeen) and his "art." Along with a bodacious display of breasts, we have some blood and death, as befits a B-horror movie. But the wildest thing is yet to come!

I wasn't expecting too much from this, although there are some extravagant claims by some, but at only 80 minutes reckoned I couldn't go too wrong. The jokey start gave me slight cause for concern but then we were off and by the end of the marvellous corn on the cob licking scene, I was all set for some silly sexy fun. The scene at the garage comes as a surprise and with the director himself playing the mechanic things get a bit harder edged. Fine. But all the time there are these little diversionary bits and bobs and I wonder if I'm the only one not finding everything as hilariously funny as the film makers clearly do. The lurch into slasher/horror territory is not unwelcome but the 'humour' increasingly comes across as silliness and prevents the nastiness from developing. About halfway through and I'd had it and although resigned to watch it through felt it was becoming more and more childish. Always good to look at and very competently made, the material just wasn't worth all the effort. My critical stance has become slightly measured after listening to the director/writer commentary and whilst it's hardly fair to rate a movie on the strength of its commentary, it did make me feel more inclined to give the benefit of doubt. It is by no means a perfect film or even a decent exploitation movie but it is well directed and edited and approached the right way many could get a smile or two and an eyeful over a beer or three.
