The Best Maverick Film-Making Since the Birth of John Waters...!

I didn't expect to be here reviewing this as a "10"! My expectations weren't low, but they weren't high either. It made a good bookend to my Gacy and Dahmer dvds I thought.

Wow! In an age where anyone with a digital camera can make a movie this B-fest reminds me of the early John Waters or Peter Jackson. When you actually borrowed money for film to FILM a movie! I love low-budget B-movies, or I can... if the creators put their hearts into it. Like "Necropolis Awakened", where the creators played all the parts and did all of the camera-work! Or Neil Stryker in "Evil Cult" by Neil and Rob Taylor!

Ford Austin just took this idea and went whole-hog with it, unabashed that the concept was both off-beat and offensive! If he'd tried to hold back or be pc, or 100% scientifically logical, he'd have fallen flat. Thank Zod he didn't! I laughed in the good way. The actors were great, Ford playing a duel role. Randal Malone's John Wayne Gacy came off as Divine's Babs Johnson re-incarnated and that's a GOOD thing! "That Guy" Art LaFleur is in it! Harland Williams is God! Bonnie Aarons has a new fan club member in me. Argh, I almost forgot to mention Ethan Phillips (from ST:Voyager)!

I have never been this taken-in by a film since my first Waters days. It was too good to last, I half-expected it to fall apart at any time as I've been disappointed before. The dialogue kept coming faster and heavier and I expected the actors to get trapped under the weight of it all but Ford and Randall and Bonnie were at the top of their game, very impressive. Again for a low-budget films without all of the re-takes and dubbing and tricks to make things look flawless. Not once did I cringe when an actor opened their mouths. Great music, clever editing and a bit of fast-motion and even black & white tinting were superbly done.

I put this up there with "Pink Flamingos", "Bad Taste", "Evil Dead" and I will follow Ford Austin's career wherever it goes. Hey, I love mainstream, I sing along with "The Sound of Music", I got teary-eyed at "Titanic" and I have the extended LOTR trilogies. I'm "normal". ;) I recommend this to my fellow film-fans.
