Violent Shit II

This one reminds me of the early works of Peter "Bad Taste" Jacksons. It's much better than the first one. There is better effects and it is also technically better. So if you like stupid (german) dialogue, sick effects and no plot, this one should do it. There's also refferences to other horror classics like Friday the 13th and Evil Dead. It's out on DVD, in a German Special Edition. All three Violent Shit movies+ tons of extra material, like Behind the scene, audio commentaries and slideshow. A must buy for splatter fans!

Violent $hit II (1992)

** (out of 4)

This sequel takes place twenty years after the original and this time it's Karl 'The Butcher' Jr. who is doing the killer, seeking revenge for the murder of his father (the killer from the original). This time out Karl Jr. is also getting instructions from his mother.

I really wasn't a fan of Andreas Schnaas' VIOLENT $HIT but this sequel was much more entertaining even if it's basically the same type of stuff we saw in the first. I enjoyed this sequel a lot more because there was a better story here or at least a type of story that we could follow. Yes, the first film was all about the gore and this sequel is too but the deranged son being given orders from his weird mother leads to some interesting stuff.

As I said, the main reason to check out this film is for the non-stop gore and some of it enters a very vile territory and especially some of the more sexually explicit scenes. This includes certain male parts being cut off as well as a woman who meets a very disgusting stapler. There's pretty much one outrageous and over-the-top gore scene after another and they're rather clever in their own way and they certainly add to what entertainment you're going to get from this.

VIOLENT $HIT II isn't a masterpiece or even a good film but it delivers what you'd expect from it and it's certainly much better than the original.

This is the first Violent shit movie I have been able to see and the first thing that hits you is the extreme amateurish nature of it. People I've known have said that 'Bad Taste' was very amateur but you really don't know what amateur is until you've seen this. Although putting that aside you can glean some entertainment value from this if you have a sick sense of humour. Best to skip through the post-title talking because this film doesn't really have or need a plot. Just skip straight to Karl getting on with the killing. The movie was quite dissapointingly short with a very abrupt ending(without a reason to back it up like BWP) If you are looking for gore perversity and bad acting, this is the movie for you and it certainly delivers on the gore. One thing I have to say, ball bursting, OUCH! 3/10

Well i finally got to see VS 2 and 3 together and my response to 2 is based on the fact that part 3 is so good.VS 2 basically repeats VS 1,but this time with an underlying plot about a reporter.Karl Jr is the killer here(he was born at the end of VS 1 if you remember)killing people for his mother or something.Anyway he wears a mask,and makes idiotic quips when he kills.This is basically like VS 1,a bad taste extravaganza.Nothing is too bizarre,or in too poor taste for the makers its seems and thats good,but....VS 2 drags its feet a little,and if youve seen the first it lacks the shock appeal.But the gore is improved,as is the films technique(maybe they bought a better camcorder!)and its good fun if you dont take it seriously.As for nastiness check out the scene where the dude gets hooked in the testes....ouch.

For those who made it through the original Violent Shit, and actually want to see more, here is the sequel.

Violent Shit II is about Karl the Butcher Jr. and his psychotic mother. Not quite as gory as the first movie, it still has some great scenes. If you can watch this, you can probably watch anything.

Seeing these two films back-to-back should be a cathartic experience for anyone with a great deal of pent-up anger, hostility, and frustration. By the end of this one, you should be feeling much better -- especially if your blood-alcohol content is 0.20 or more. I just hope your vision isn't too blurred to read the subtitles.

It may be hard to find Violent Shit and its sequel, but if you like shockingly gory, perverted, low-budget trash cinema, then it's well worth it. One last thing: Be careful about showing this to your friends -- some of them may decide to avoid you in the future.
