PLOT

Two `yardworkers' Billy Buck and Jacob are disgusted by the upper society and they express their anger on Northern Yuppies in very different and violent ways..

COMMENTS

This movie appeared on DVD on Feb. 24 and I immediately bought it. IMDB has only 2 (by far) reviews on this movie which I liked. Being a gore fan I was really exited about this movie. Itself the movie is only 70 min long though I guess it was enough to see the point director Nathan Schiff was trying to show.well.there's no point actually. This movie has a very poor plot , very poor acting and sometimes really silly effects (barby dolls and e.t.c). Though I liked John Smihula's performance. He plays Billy Buck , a big yard worker who along with his ugly friend Jacob mutilate all those Yuppies. The gore scenes are disgusting , am not going to deny it , sometimes really violent. Everything is shown in really close angle , so you get to see everything , the flesh , guts and everything else you need to vomit if u don't have a steel stomach , which is STRONGLY recommended. People are murdered in very different ways with tons of different weapons like chainsaw , hammer , dynamite , steel pipe and e.t.c. Sometimes you can easily see that they use a doll instead of a body . I guess due to financial problems , because this is a 'non budget' movie. Though it has a great ending. Everything is shot with a cheap hand camera and sometimes scenes are not fit in it (at least in DVD version). Though it has a great ending.

DVD version has a good gallery and interviews with the film's director Nathan Schiff and John Smihula who played Billy Buck..plus a few trailers to some short animated parody movies (Attack of the Giant Turtle , Cocktails At Midnight).



OVERALL

As a gorefest this movie is a treasure. As a Good Horror movie with so-so acting , so-so plot it's a total disaster..watch for urself..
