Poor attempt to shock. A lame August Underground rip off.
Jester2221 June 2021
Film. GATEWAY MEAT.......... Pathetic. But does almost fall into that so bad it's good realm, ....almost.....if it wasn't for the desperate attempts to shock and be nasty bleeding through in every scene, which fail everytime. This is an attempt to make an August Underground type film....without any of the talent, fx skills or intelligence to really deliver a truly shocking visceral film. Glad I didn't waste money on it, I do support indie film and a couple of the gore moments were ok. As a feature it dragged and the 'story' made 'Maison de la Fourette' (silky short film) seem Oscar worthy...........just saying.

Avoid and watch the far superior August Underground films instead.

for the gorehounds

Warning: Spoilers
Being a real horror buff this is one that you must have in your collection. Still people are hunting a copy down on the internet only available in 1000 copies. But is it all worth the hunt?

It succeeded in the part of the gore. Some scene's are really disturbing, mostly the one with the child saying things or at the end of this flick shooting with a gun into a living human. But not only that, there are a few scene's that surely will offend viewers.

But the editing and the way it was shot didn't made it all that easy to watch. The sound isn't always that good and that makes it sometimes a bit annoying to watch. The story itself if there was one was very simple. After the death of Markus (played by the director himself) satanic father it's up to Markus to open the gates to hell by killing people. With his family and friends he's gaining power to reign as his father did. And that's in fact the stuff we do see.

Of course such kind of extreme gore flicks aren't for everyone. It doesn't become explicit in part of the nudity as the flicks from Lucifer Valentine but it goes more in the line of August Underground.

If you are a gorehound then this is your stuff, but if you are a casual horror buff then this isn't going to be your thing.

Quirky movie, i laughed! The underlying message was so powerful my left hallux spontaneously combusted. I recommend a light-hearted wine and cheese evening with friends as the perfect setting to watch this masterpiece.
