While it's easy to knock on the paper mache monsters which ooze red gelatin and giblets nicked from a butcher shop's dumpster,keep in mind when viewing this movie Nathan Schiff made this as a high school student during 1979-- the age before digital camera and film editing software.I remember in high school when I tried to make movies that it was pretty hard to plan everything out, and to get people together to participate. I never got as far as Schiff did with "Weasels Rip My Flesh". What I find interesting is that he actually got adults to participate in this film, and his characters had motivation!
I'd compare this feel of this movie to something like a Polonia Brothers film, however this of course was made before the digital age by a high school student, and wasn't intentionally made to be bad.The badness of this movie is almost excusable, but still enjoyable because the pace stays at sort of jogging speed throughout the film.
I recommend "Weasels Rip My Flesh" to a select type of people, namely those who are fans of low-budget film, who understand a thing or two about movie making, who love to laugh, and who love drinking beer in the company of like minded people.

Picture if you will a musclebound man scantily clad in short-shorts with a mullet hair style, who is fighting off foes in the jungle on his own using only a knife and what nature provides him. Hey, that's kind of like the Brock Samson character from the Venture Brothers Adult Swim cartoon! Indeed it is, but this film was made much before the cartoon, and was shockingly made to be a serious action flick! "Deadly Prey" is incredible as the main character Danton, our half-naked hero who's sporting hockey hair kills of the bad guys get more and more ridiculous as the movie marches on. You do not believe anything could top the last scene you just watched, but low and behold the next scene does, this leads up to the most ridiculous scene of them all which is at the end, and then you die from asphyxiation from choking on your own laughter.
It's a crying shame the VHS is so hard to find, and that this movie hasn't made it onto DVD. If the rights holders would get this shown in theaters where they show cult films and if they reprinted it to DVD, this film could attain "Troll 2" or "The Room" status. You can find this movie to watch on line at stagevu.com, it takes forever for the movie to load, but man is it worth it!
