Violent and depraved home invasion effort
kannibalcorpsegrinder12 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Attending a video shoot, a group of women thinking they're shooting a homemade pornographic video find themselves subjected to even more bizarre and depraved acts when a group of clowns invade the shoot and force them to play a deranged series of violent games for their own amusement.

For the most part, this one wasn't all that bad. As promised in the beginning of the film, one of it's finest aspects is the filth and depravity it wallows in which is evident from the start. Since the invasion occurs rather early in the film, this allows for a nearly continuous stream of violent and utterly depraved antics that occur to everybody, as every side here is granted plenty of truly abhorrent acts for the majority of the film. From forcing people to become aroused for a forced sexual act that introduces props and toys into the mix, abusing people with used tampons or throwing around all sorts of bodily fluids into everybody's faces, the extremity in this one runs incredibly high and continuous throughout here which is matched only by the ferocity of their intentions. Not only is it intense to witness them throwing that around liberally but to see it alongside their waving power tools in private parts or seeing them bringing their own brand of perverse justice to the group which adds an extra sense of dementia to the proceedings that doesn't offer this one any sense of safety or predictability. There's truly no telling where it's going to go next and it adds that extra dimension to the film as a result, alongside the whole point of this being a true home invasion as the original setup allows this one to turn into a deranged and sadistic game. It's the technical side of things where the film fails, as there are too many cartoonish sound effects that pop up in scenes of supposed torment that ruin the bluntness and effect of the scene. While appropriately lightening the mood of the intended sequence, their shocking impact would've been felt a lot more effectively here had this one been kept to a more realistic setting without the sound effects of speeded-up camera tricks. Sometimes it works, as it does in the silent-film parody with the cue-cards popping up for their dialogue but other times it actually makes things less shocking by being so goofy and silly. Some might find issues with the extreme content displayed here since this is incredibly controversial and graphic features throughout here due to the willingness it lets them fly free here and that gives this a major hurdle to overcome here due to that. The obvious budget limitations show up from time-to-time, but it's not nearly as detrimental as the other issues.

Rated Unrated/X: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Nudity, Graphic Violence, forced sexual antics and constant depraved antics.
