Everytime i review another german gore flick i feel like i am being a bit unfair, for the first movies that came to my attention in this peculiar genre were the early works of lord ittenbach. it was my gateway drug to underground splatter and since then, i have never come across anything even close to, let's say, burning moon or black past. maybe if i hadn't started with the very peak, it would be possible to enjoy flicks like this one more.
Now to Mutation Annihilation. without having seen the predecessors because they're a pain in the to get, it still works by means of understanding the plot. well, we don't watch this for the plot, do we? we come for the red stuff, and admittedly, there's plenty of it. while the handmade effects are very appealing and grim, the CGI is simply laughable, like straight from a 90s low budget game. as expected, none of the characters are likeable, and the acting is, let's say, typical. lord ittenbach in a small role did make me smile, but his screentime was way too short.
long story short, if you want to turn your brain off and enjoy some gangster and zumbe violence, go for it. regarding everything else, you might as well skip this movie.
