Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

nasteen8 I love writing reviews on films like this because there really isn't anything quite like it. Let me start off by saying I gave this... thing.... 4 stars only on the merit of violence. Because hey, this guy certainly found some interesting ways to hack, what is supposedly, a body to bits.The blood, which looks more like cheap paint, is sprayed in gratuitous amounts all over the screen without any regard whatsoever. The props, if that's what we can call them, are dismembered and tossed with the greatest of ease by our wonderful auteur, Karl the Butcher $#!tt3R. Now that's where the greatness ends. There is nothing more to this film.... or... whatever this actually is. To say the dialogue is funny, or strained, or even acted is far too generous. These guys look like they were plucked from the dirtiest, nastiest, drug addicted scumbag corners of any inner city and plopped in front of a camera with nothing more than a promise of beer, then asked to just... talk.... while a camera is pointed at them. It's almost beyond painful to watch these guys talk to each other. And then our friend Karl shows up and steals the show!! Unfortunately, there is far too much film injected into this steaming pile which deters from the actual bits you want. Why would anyone want to watch a car drive for minute after minute with nothing in the way of a story behind it? Anyway, what can you say, this is about as low as it gets, so why even worry? Well, here you are, reading reviews on the worst of the worst, so you might as well go for it! My suggestion: Get the cheapest of grain alcohols you can find, pound a fifth of it with your most awful of friends, plop this thing in and try to get to the end. But by no means should you watch this flick with a clear head, because you won't make it. Or hey, make a drinking game: Take a shot of the cheapest vodka you can find any time blood sprays! Either way, this thing is only for the most die hard of shlock loving viewers out there. All others might as well just watch youtube videos.

Bloodwank It's a difficult business making films with explanatory titles. A very few times it happens just right, but far more its little more than a pose, leading to disappointment at best and thorough contempt at worst. For instance there's White Rose Campus: Then Everybody Gets Raped, in which not everybody actually gets raped. Quite a lot do get raped and overall its hugely entertaining stuff so the film gets a pass but its still sad. Then there's Blooduckers from Outer Space which features infuriatingly little in the way of on screen bloodsucking, and at the bottom there are films like Gore from Outer Space, which has exactly zero on screen gore. Violent Sh!t is perfect though, well close too as the only folk who could possibly watch a film with such a name and be disappointed with the content are hardcore monster excrement enthusiasts not satiated by Monsturd, and really who cares about those weirdos? There's no perambulating excreta committing acts of violence here, but it's definitely a violent film. And by the standards of most normal people it's definitely sh!t. So by the connotations of its name its a winner, and if its name appeals to you in a critical manner its definitely a film for you. Essentially its an entry in the relatively less traveled slasher subgenre of woodlands lunatic who kills everyone he encounters for no good reason. Its kinship is with the likes of Don't Go in the Woods Alone and Orgroff, and though it never quite meets the anti art heights of the former or intoxicating ineptitude of the latter its a worthy effort. The fun of it is that a good few people get offed and they get offed real bad. Head hacking, arm chopping, tit slicing, dick lopping, cooch goring and more, all rendered in HG Lewis style but with comically thick and pinkish blood. Also the killer, K. The Butcher Sh!tter is played by Andreas Schnaas himself and wears a nifty check shirt/jeans and suspenders combo. Suffice to say, not very menacing. There's overuse of slow motion, jerky editing and some horrible technique that makes occasional bits look like the film has been turned into some horrid blotchy computer made cartoon. But for all the technical irritation Violent Sh!t is actually a pretty solid piece of imbecile gory junk. It absolutely lacks anything in the way of ambition or pretension, there's nothing there but trash gore cheer and the feel of idiot youngsters playing with and trying to milk the limited time they had with their cheap editing resources. In short its fun, it rings through with nothing but fun. Very little to it, but for a trash gore opus that won't stretch your brain or your time frame (its less than 75 minutes long) its a classic.

bert_i_gordon Violent Sh*t was the first "film" (video) by Andreas Schnass. While it's a terrible movie, it does have some merit, and arguably, some scenes that are almost artistic ( the Jesus scene, which shows Karls inability to become one with Christ, or become good, because all he knows is violence). Or something like that. Or just no......Whatever it is, it's not "anti- religious" like some people have stated. Although, I can see how it could be offensive, but then again, if you are easily offended, what are you doing watching "Violent Sh*t"?It starts out with Karl as a boy killing his abusive mother, but not until after smiling directly into the camera and laughing. We then cut to 20 years later, with Karl escaping from the police and killing various people for the next 57 minutes with a gigantic cleaver he just happens to have had all this time. He mutates with every murder and passes out, having visions and nightmares of his past were he saw the devil as a child. Finally he melts into a pile of goo, and a baby pops out. Right.For a movie with that title, and it being all about the gory effects, one shouldn't really complain. Anyone who picked up a movie called "Violent Sh*t" and was expecting "Casablanca" is at fault. But don't get me wrong, it is a bad movie. There's just nothing holding it together, except for the gore, and nothing is ever explained.As for direction, I guess it's fine. I know that sounds insane, but in a movie that's all about gore, it's perfectly fine. Schnaas is sure to show all the gore in lingering closeups. Because that's what it's all about, the gore. It's not about Karl's emotional states, or any sort of character development. "There's somebody. Now go kill him". That's it. The same goes for acting, the victims scream fine. And Karl is a mongoloid, or something.Now to clear up some myths and misconceptions surrounding the movie. First off, Andreas Schnaas is not Karl the Butcher. Karl was played by an "actor" named Karl Inger, Schnaas played the loudmouth tree cutter who gets cut in half with a tree trimmer.Another is that all "real gore" was used. Real animal blood and organs. This is obviously fake, because animal blood is not Pepto-Bismal, nor is an animals intestines sausage links, which were obviously used during the gutting scene.Violent Sh*t was the first German direct-to-video horror film.Some people state Violent Sh*t was a successful midnight movie and was pulled by the censors. This cant be true, because I doubt a film print of Violent Sh*t was ever made, and video projectors did not exist in 1987. But on this I could be wrong.In the end Violent Sh*t is a bad movie. No doubt about that. However, there is something interesting about it. Perhaps it's the fact that despite being made tongue in cheek, it's still played brutally straight. And that makes it interesting for a few reasons. What were they thinking? Why was this made? Who was this made for? There some of the same questions that surround a movie like "Blood Freak", or "Legend of Blood Mountain" (both wonderfully bad movies). And at least Schnaas wasn't insulting our intelligence, just his.

Haifis Up until now, I have never seen a horror movie that I didn't like. This movie was just awful, awful, awful! The filming is so blurry that you can hardly see what's going on! The sound is fuzzy. The gore is cheap and you can't feel any sympathy for the victims because how stupid they were scripted. I'm sure the director has potential! He must show it. This film does not capture the genius of Mr. Schnaas. This film is also extremely low budget. Although the actors were particularly talented especially the very handsome Mr. Schnaas as the killer Karl, They could not save this movie. Even the castration scene was boring. Mr. Schnaas, Make us a better film!
