This movie should have a proper review, so here is goes. I ordered this a few months ago, after reading excellent reviews. The movie is about a young couple (Jack Huston and Pell James) that move into a rather strange neighborhood because of his new job. After being there only a short time, they are visited by a neighbor Adrien (Nick Searcy) with a bouquet of something. It happens to be poison oak and gives the wifey an extreme breakout of the poison on her face. Shortly after, he visits them and gives them a box of chocolates. Now Adrien is the neighbor from hell and his own extremely sick sexual habits are hard to believe, or even define here. So I won't. Oh why not. He has cut a gash in his lower stomach area which he sticks his finger in and massages some kind of organ under the liver that gives him sexual pleasure, but then he jams a syringe directly into his balls. And away he goes. This is sick sh*t, and I mean sick, but this movie has just started. Back to the chocolates, which are laced with a horse laxative that gives the couple the extreme sh*ts, and you have never and I mean never seen some of the sh*t (pun intended) displayed in this movie. And that's just the beginning. It seems Adrien likes to screw around with poisons of all kinds, and he used them on the neighbors he doesn't like which is most of them. Oh, and the deaf neighbors across the street, who aren't really deaf are a pretty funny part of the movie until the amazing revolting climax. The movie moves into the extreme gore department, almost Herschell Gordon Lewis level, except much much better effects. This movie has an actual history of people leaving the theater sick, or having seizures, or leaving in disgust. That is true, and also, nobody and I mean no studio would even consider distributing this movie without extreme cuts. But Stuart Gordon used all his muscle, and liked the extreme nature of this movie, and got it released fully uncut on DVD. It's morbid, totally disgusting, extremely gory, nasty, very sickening, and I could go on and on, but gorehounds, this is the movie for you. Take it from me, this one does not disappoint on any level. The ending alone is unbelievably gory with a little twist, and the commentary is excellent, with the writer-director saying exactly what I wanted to hear, that he wanted to make the most extreme movie he could possibly think of and give the gorehounds of the universe the kind of movie they want. He did just that, and I could not recommend it higher.
