son.
I enjoyed Ryan
Nicholson's flick Gutterballs
and I was hoping for another trashy flick
of his to enjoy and boy this film was
total trash and in a bad way. I mean it
looked more like a crime comedy than a
horror but I guess it can pass as a
horror with the main deformed character
Hanger but there's really only one horror
scene that he does in the film. It did
start off as exciting and on a descent
budget for an independent film but after
15 minutes of it the flick is a total
flop.
The film was poinntless and boring
offering plenty of skin which is the
film's drawing cards. You'll wanna throw
this one in the dump long before the
closing credits.
The acting is fairly terrible
for the most part but let's start off
with the good one's. Dan Ellis seemed
to be a bit of a character as a
stepfather bum in the film showing an
interesting charm to his role but
sometimes he tries way too hard and
looked very comedic. Again, sometimes
that can be a good drawing card to a
story like this.
Nathan Dashwood really showed a
versatality to his role since he often
plays tough guys and now he plays a
deformed person. He does well speaking
softly and tried his best for what he had
to do with his role. Personally I found
him to be too good for a piece of junk
like this flick.
Ronald Patrick Thompson is passable
with his part as a nasty pimp in the film
and sometimes does well with being
violent but sometimes he looks like he's
just acting it out and performing very
obvious to what he was doing to others.
Scream queen Debbie Rochon
doesn't have a big part in this film but
knew how to act intense as a hooker and
brought out her anxiety perfectly well
along with her troubled attitude too. She
was by far the best actress in this film.
Now for the terrible actors: Wade
Gibb was terribly melodramatic as
one of the freaks working at the garbage
dump and looked like he came fresh out of
an amateurish zany cartoon character
acting class and not being natural at
all. He tried way too hard.
Alastair Gamble was very dull as the
other freak at the dump. He didn't pull
his weight too well and seemed very lazy
with his lines.
Debbie Rochon pulls
down her top in a vehicle desperately
wanting to be seduced bare breated and
squeezing her breasts too.
Nadia Grey takes off her top
fully breasted in a vehicle and then runs
out topless.
Candice Lewald lied on a bed top
doing a strip tease ahowing her breast
and vagina and masturbating for a long
time. There's another moment where
someone pulls down her top at the front
desk of a garbage dump.
Stephanie Walker plays another
prostittude topless while someone is
being tortured in a chair.
Many distorted faces on the
freaky characters in this film especially
Hanger
There's a brief bloodshed from a murder
on a hooker
We have some blood splattered on a
persons face.
Ryan Nicholson seemed
to have a good start on the film. He
shows a good shot on Debbie Rochon
looking pregnant and feeling herself with
a camera shooting up on her. There's also
a great menacing dialogue between her and
supporting actor Ronald Patrick Thompson
as her pimp and slapping her around. It
looked very intense as well as her
deperately trying to sell her body
towards Dan Ellis in his truck
sometimes making it hard to watch to see
what she does.
Then we spot good camera shots on
Nathan Dashwood and Nicholson
himself as a bum underneath a bridge
having a goofy dialogue as well as Ellis
taking Dashwood to his vehicle
and having a discussion with him while
he's driving which looked not too shabby.
Then we've got some good shots on bit
part actress Nadia Grey taking
it off and then trying to come on strong
with Dashwood along with a good
close up shot on him when he reveals his
face and monstrous teeth in which she
reacts well to screaming and running out
of the vehicle with Ellis
grabbing her and forcing her towards Dashwood.
This is about one of the only horror
directions in this film at all.
Then we spot many pointless dialogues
between Dashwood and Wade
Gibb working in a garbage dump as
well at their home watching pornography
ho hum. Yet during the middle of this we
spot a good blocking shot on Dashwood
placing his hands on the TV screen
noticing one of the porn stars as his
mother and staring very closely.
There's also good dialogue between Ellis
in his vehicle with supporting actress Rochelle
Lynn White as another hooker having
a business discussion about her pimp and
tracking him down.
We spot a good shot on Ellis in
his vehicle with a gun pointed at his
head and then the camera goes towards Thompson
showing good sneering expressions.
Next we have a good close up shot on Ellis
in a room with his head down and then
brings his head up with Thompson
getting demanding with him and smacking
him along with supporting actress Stephanie
Walker acting sleazy towards Ellis
from behind.
We also spot a good close up shot on
supporting actress Candice Lewald placing
candles on a bed top and then lying down
and doing a striptease masturbating.
C'mon Ryan are we watching a
horror film or a porn flick as you
focused way too much on these sleazy
directions.
We have a good shot on supporting actor Alastair
Gamble pointing a blade towards Dashwood
and forcing him to kneel down and then a
good close up shot on Dashwoods monstrous
teeth with Gamble getting
anxious and backing up.
We also spot some good shots on Dashwood
and Gibb beating up on Gamble.
We have a good moment with Thompson
pointing a gun at Lewald and pulling down
her top forcing her to call one of the
employees at the garbage dump which
showed some energetic moments.
There's some cheesy shots between Thompson
and Ellis in the dump having a
gun to gun showdown shooting one another.
The music is mainly by
other bands but we get the odd jazz
sounding music composed by Patrick
Coble which was used in Live Feed
and Gutterballs so really he didn't work
on any new stuff as you can tell.
Russell: What's
the matter Phil? Cat got your tongue???
The John: Your
stepfather was a bum and now he;s as flat
as a pancake with strawberry syrup!
