Crazy Fat Ethel

Lose remake of Criminally Insane It's not a bad remake Slight differences mostly more sexual It's defininatelty got some soft porn Skinamax type scenes and Ethel gets raped at the hospital she's staying in before being released from the mental hospital A couple kills were pretty creative Mostly when the woman who's delivering groceries and wants to be paid Ethel hits her with a wine bottle then sticks the neck of the wine bottle up her lady parts and stomps on the bottom of the bottle and there's like a explosion of blood That to me was the wildest kill But the problem is the kills aren't done very well I can't really complain about it being low budget because the first two movies were as well But somehow this manages to feel and be even lower budget Think public domain type quality I don't know it's okay for what it is I just think the movie is trying too hard and for me it just doesn't work as well.

I decided to donate to this film around 2016 , Made for around $50,00 with such a tiny bubjet the diretion , actors , production do so much with it !!! The film is never boring has great detail & flows along nicely , Ethel has a problem she needs & loves to eat ? & when doesn't get enough of that well let's just say things get out of hand !!! .The flim is a remake of another film made in the 70's.

With no disrespect to writer director Nick Millard, the original director of Criminally Insane (1975) the film that Crazy Fat Ethel is based on, but this remake does everything right that the original got wrong. First, the blood and gore effects in the original are notoriously bad. With this version they are very real and gory. The effect go as far as the bloodiest Italian horror films from the 70's and 80's. Well done. The acting is up to par which is worth mentioning and even praising due to the crowed independent film genre being known for lacking in that department. The original film is 61 mins. Here we get 20 mins more and writer director Brian Dorton uses this extra time wisely for character development. Ethel is smarter and even more dangerous. Keep in mind the original is one of my favourite exploitation drive-in films from my day. I got the bluray off ebay thinking it was the original with the CFE title. I'm glad I did because otherwise I wouldn't have know there was a remake.

Inappropriate in so many ways, there is something deliciously satisfying about this junk movie. The acting is actually watchable -- realist/naturalist kind of stuff, with these offhand gestures that really lets you smell the cheese. Maybe i was just in the mood. Nice, clean narrative line. I think these guys could all have done better work if they'd wanted to

Crazy Fat Ethel is not your traditional gross-out horror feature; rather, it deliberately veers into controversial, repulsive territory - at which is succeeds. I would liken it to Grindhouse material in its style, and fresh in its execution.
