    great tongue in cheek cult classic

    Liam has really grown into a wonderful well established artist / director. A true fan of the horror genre who has taken all the aspects of the antihero and thrown them in a blender. Comedy, gore, controversy and a visual style that sticks to your brain long after viewing. Genius trash vision. In depth subject mater lightheartedly shoved down our throats to make us realise that nothing is that bad in life. guilty taboo glitter coated in a fresh warped pleasure. It is what it is. like the cenobites once said. Demon to some..Angel to others. Pretty much sums up Liam and Banjo. to the subculture of cult horror Regan is an Angel.

    That Bl**dy Banjo Film by Liam Regan.

    Legendary. Not for the faint of heart, either. Liam Regan put together a great Director's Cut of My Bloody Banjo onto Blu-Ray. It's fun, campy and gory as you might imagine. I loved the performances and the cast. The in-film referances were fun too, "Oh, What a Rush!".

    The making of features with the History of MBB making it or not even making it onto the BIG Festival Screens. Good Stuff! Nicely shot on Red Camera.

    Dani Thompson was a treat and there is a bit of cruelty towards the main actors and smaller rolls. Will REVENGE from the leading cast player provail? Watch My Bloody Banjo. Fun!!!

    The Cult of Ronnie

    My Bloody Banjo is the debut feature film by Liam Regan. A funny, gory, messy horror comedy gem that is slowly gaining recognition as a modern cult classic. Peltzer, a young office clerk and eternal loser seeks revenge on his co-workers and the bullies that have turned his life to a living nightmare, he can't do it though without the help and influence of his deranged imaginary best friend Ronnie. There's a lot of pitch black humour and over the top gore. Laurence R. Harvey from Human Centipede fame and Lloyd Kaufman both appear in minor roles as well.

    No pun intended - and I do hope this does not happen to anyone ... although apparently it can happen. And it did happen (based on a true story - don't be afraid of that moniker!) to the director ... as he is happy to admit and tell us in the commentary to the movie. Liam is a sweet guy and a cool Dude, so I may be biased a bit. But he cherishes bad reviews too. He knows what he did here - and he really embraces it. Blood, violence and all included (no nudity though, except male - which ... sticks out).

    If like me you have no clue what a bloody banjo is (not a musical instrument .. well I reckon you can use it to produce music ...) .. you are in for a treat! No sensitive soul should be watching this, but I think I made that clear. Low budget Filmmaking and insanity at its best (or worse, depending on how you view it). There are quite a few Banjos placed all over the movie - and I am certain you may be able to find even more Easter eggs if you look for them.

    Looking forward to the next gem - eating miss campbell ... and the pun already in the title ... have to think of another one for my summary line! Anyway, there is a Directors cut and if you are into low budget horror movies that are quite insane, but look really good (no pun intended), I can recommend this highly ... this is not Citizen Kane, it never said it is, you get exactly what you pay for ...

    Don't beat on the brat ... or else

    Banjo is a tale of an unremarkable guy called Peltzer who is bullied by his office boss and whom with his sexy, asset-laden partner is also cheating. Following an unfortunate and rather painful incident, Peltzer's already downbeat situation takes a final plummeting nose dive, leading to an imaginary friend called Ronnie to appear before him; who begins to take the reins, pushing Peltzer's life into vengeful bloody mayhem.

    Banjo reminded me a lot of the 2013 psychological horror/drama "Dementamania", although Peltzer comes across as more of a victim and loser than Ed Arkham. Quite unlike Dementamania however, Banjo has a fun feel to it, whereas the former is a fairly clinical affair.

    Banjo is hardly a tour-de-force of modern horror/exploitation cinema but it is a cool demonstration of what a genre-loving director can achieve. I'm a fan of the Troma-style genre of movies which has helped influence aspects of Banjo and, from the outset, does have its fair share of crazy, crude moments which put it in that league. Yet I felt too many scenes and too many moments of dialogue were, whilst all in context, unnecessarily prolonged and lacking the quick-fire MTV sensibility which I would have expected in this sub genre of movie.

    The other main issue with the movie is, for me, the character Ronnie. He got on my nerves after a while. Some moments, Ronnie was clown-like, then at others a devil on the shoulder or playground teaser. This might have been intentional but I struggled to securely identify with him and as a result didn't really see him as the overwhelming catalyst he should have been for the latter stages of the movie.

    These points aside, Banjo does have some remarkable, if eye-watering moments and a solid performance from lead actor James Hamer-Morton, who really helps tie the movie together. There is one scene in particular which is likely to get people talking and I, for one, have never winced so badly during a movie. Not ever - and that's after a lifelong diet of horror!

    Whilst Banjo does have its flaws, the movie is clearly made on a low budget and I applaud the director and crew for an achievement which is clearly going to be an inspiration to other future film-makers. The special effects are surprisingly good and put a lot of bigger productions to shame and the acting throughout was not half as wooden or Troma-esque as I was expecting. Overall, it flows well and is a competent piece of film making.

    So did I like it then? Well I definitely feel like watching it again to make up my mind, because it was not the kind of watch that leaves you yearning for the finish, which I suppose means that I did.

    At least next time I'll know the cue for when to close my eyes and cover my ears.
