I was told by the creators of the film that they had packed as much sex, gore, and disgusting depravity into a film that they could- in other words, a truly overloaded slasher flick of the most base and disgusting level, something I could get behind.
When the lights went down and the film came on, whisper quiet audio and mumbled poorly delivered lines were drown out by the raucous laughter of those who had (obviously) created the film. After a long and awkward atypical guy tries to get some action car scene, he gets out of the car only to be... thrown in a trunk? After being thrown into said trunk, his girl is murdered in perfect darkness, an effective device if the audio and acting support it- which they totally didn't. The flat and ineffectual screams and whining from cast kept any of it from really having effect. The guy gets out of the trunk and is run down by rubber mask Sloth from the Goonies, has his guts torn out, and we go to the best scene of the movie.
Sloth, AKA the Goat Man, takes a saw to some limbs in some dark building as rock music plays and a swinging light causes his shadow to loom on the wall. It looks cool. If the whole film looked this way, it would've been a slick and stylish low budget piece.
The film quickly goes nowhere as we get some cars filled with more mumbling, not funny, young people who we'll eventually see get murdered. Still can't hear the jokes as they are laughed over by the crew.
The plot meandered along, still barely audible, acting no better, and we hear about the goat man and see some guts outside a park ground bathroom just sort of hanging out. We half hear the legend of the goat man, and for some reason, there is a guy eating poop in the bathroom- gross, but sort of random. There was a car breakdown and then...
I don't know, I got up and left the theatre. As a low budget film, there is a lot that can be forgiven, but you can't forgive everything. Poor writing, directing, acting, audio, and film quality makes for an all points bulletin of unwatchable. If the jokes had been funny, pass, if the gore over the top, pass, if the sex crammed in, pass, but it had none of these elements.
On the plus side, I give credit for attempt at a full length feature. However, when I see the starting sequence of the sawing madman, I can only think that if they pulled off that much visual menace in the beginning, it shows they could have done more with the rest of the film.
Over all, if you promise depravity, sex, and gore packed to the gills, you better deliver within the first half hour of the film.
