Paramedics

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.

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

The beginning of this film gives the impression it is a black comedy, but it soon transpires there is nothing to laugh about in what is about to happen, and it is rightly styled a psychological thriller. Produced on an ultra-low budget, most of the action takes place in one room, and mostly there are three, often only two people in a scene.

The bad guys are two brothers: the irredeemably evil Corey, and Jeffery who is not only a dullard but easily manipulated. The two pose as paramedics, but instead of taking people to the hospital they murder them and sell their body parts for transplant. For this modern day Burke and Hare there are rich pickings indeed, until they kidnap a gorgeous blonde who for some reason needs to be kept alive, which suits Corey because he can rape her regularly while administering both psychological and physical torture. The fly in the ointment is that this girl is not only highly intelligent but a dead ringer for their late sister, with whom both men did things no man should ever do to or with his own sister.

It is not giving away too much to say the ending is gory, or that some people will be genuinely sickened by the wanton brutality meted out by Corey, which is far more convincing than most of the cracked skulls and broken limbs that can be found in many high budget thrillers and horror films.

Paramedics otherwise known as bodies was such a hugely pleasant surprise and it simply wasn't even remotely what I expected.

With the gory opening credits I expected a thorough gorefest and perhaps a degree of "Torture porn" but I was mistaken, this is something altogether different.

The film tells the story of two brothers, one a sociopath, the other autistic. They run a business together which involves pretending to be paramedics, drugging people and harvesting their organs for the black market.

Things get complicated for them when they take a girl who they both grow a fondness for and a game of wits begins as she races to escape before her uses expire.

The cast are great, 3 unknowns who really take their characters and make them their own. The mentally handicapped, the unhinged sociopath and the stalwart determined heroine.

The film isn't as gory as I expected but certainly isn't for the faint of heart. Paramedics deals with some pretty hardcore themes including rape, necrophilia genital mutilation and incest and considerably more graphic than you'd imagine.

If you can stomach the unpleasantness you have a very well constructed thriller that had me gripped.

The Good:

Fascinating little thriller

Excellent performances

The Bad:

Some shoddy editing

Does make for some uncomfortable viewing in places

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Thats two movies lately about killer paramedics, next time I get hurt I'm walking!

Expecting a tied up person to help is a bit of a needless guilt trip

Bread & butter pudding is better with raisins

The storyline is to boring,I do not recommend this movie ,is just wasting your time... Very bad movie.
