Violent Shit

Andreas Schnaas' first feature could be the worst movie ever made if it would be a "real film". In fact, it's actually a homemade feature shot on video. The editing is terrible. Since it was quiet hard to add sound effects, all the splatter sequences are soundless with only a (boring) music playing. The gore scenes are rather bloody, but the special effects are utterly amateurish (as the entire flick), so absolutely unable to shock and\or disgust. The cinematography is less than poor, like a birthday video shot at night with a horrible sound and the story doesn't exists: it's basically an anthology of unconvincing splatter scenes, The only right thing is the title.

I have seen three Schnaas movies, and I all hate them... though I like Splatter movies. The "Violent shit" series is the most gory of them, and I also think they are the most gory Schnaas movies. The plot, the actors, the effects are incredibly bad. I have seen one of the three "violent shit" movies, I dont know which one - does not matter anyway. The whole point of it is to kill a lot of people in very brutal ways - like slaughtering and castrating them. While other genre movies, especially the on a negative way very impressive "Cannibal Holocaust", try to put a sense in it or explain something, this is just GORE. They are disgusting because they are so boring. I dont know why Schnaas still even tries to put one of his nutty plots in it and does not just randomly mix butcher scenes.

After seeing the title of this movie a man can't help but be a little intrigued, so I picked it up. Wow, and is that saying right..."curiosity kills the cat" and it nearly killed me. This is by far one of the most sick and twisted movies I've ever laid eyes on. The movie is about the Karl "The Butcher," an unrelenting mass murderer who shows no mercy to his victims. Judging by the title, you can imagine some of the things he does to his victims...no nevermind, you can't because a sane person in their right mind wouldn't think of the sick ways to kill a person. 'Violent Shit' is filled with dismemberments, disembowelings, castrations, and even feces eating and it's some of the most sickening stuff I've ever seen. If you're into extremely low-budget (this movie is shot with a camcorder) and torture films, this pointless gorefest is the movie for you! Otherwise, if you're easily offended, avoid at all costs or else you will die of a heart attack after the first 10 seconds of the film.

I made the music to this film, already nearly 17 years ago. There is an error the film is from 1988 not from 1987 (because i bought my Korg M1 Music Workstation back in 88). Since 1985 I was a big fan from electronic film scores so i tried to do my best. When I first saw the movie i thought "this film is sick" and i thought how could i give it a more pro look, so i made the music "eerie, mysterious", what i didn't knew that they had no equipment to mix it ..... Anyway it was fun, I just had like 4 days to do the music, because they wanted to show the film at an festival. Like I said sick film - but they had a lot of fun :) Micky

I guess there's exactly one thing this shot-on-video cheapie has gotten right: it does seem to be a genuine attempt at giving the audience what it wants. Writer/Director (granted, both terms are used sorta loosely) Andreas Schnaas clearly seems to know lots of horror fans are in it just to see irritating people die gory deaths, but using this knowledge to make something remotely entertaining seemed like a bridge too far. So you've opened your movie with a mental patient (Karl The Butcher, an overly threatening name for a teenage guy with an oatmeal scrotum on his face) escaping from custody and wandering off into the woods, what to do now? Have some cops or local vigilantes look for him and possibly get killed in the process? Have Oatmeal Dude reach a camp/school/farm/slumber party house/hotel/convent to cause some gory mayhem? Of course not, those would be story lines (close enough at least). Instead, "Violent Sh#t" just consists of Karl walking around aimlessly and killing nameless characters 15 seconds after they've been introduced. That's literally what the whole movie is, and keep in mind it goes on for 75 mind-numbingly repetitive minutes. I never could have imagined a movie with so much splatter in it could be so ridiculously boring, but Schnaas truly has a gift. I hear this thing has two sequels, I also hear it's somewhat of a cult hit in Germany: both facts freighten me intensely.
