If you haven't had the pleasure of catching the original Babezilla, let me catch you up: this movie is a riotous blend of humor, absurdity, and campy fun that hits all the right notes for fans of offbeat indie comedies. Although it's been out for a while, better late than never to dive into this zany ride!
From the get-go, it's clear that *Babezilla* thrives on its unrestrained silliness. AJ Chambers, who's clearly a comedic genius, delivers yet another laugh-out-loud performance. Chambers' humor isn't confined to this movie alone-his short "Attack of the 50 Foot Sphincter from Space" is equally delightful and can be found on YouTube for those craving more of his brand of comedy. His knack for creating genuinely funny content shines through in Babezilla, proving once again that he's a master of mirth.
Stephanie Love, embodying the titular Babezilla, delivers a performance that's as entertaining as it is outrageous. Her comedic timing and the sheer audacity of her scenes, especially involving various phallic foods, are played against a backdrop of an incredibly catchy soundtrack. It's not just the gags that make this film so enjoyable-AJ's music choices amplify the comedic atmosphere, creating a sensory feast that'll have you both laughing and hungry.
The film's premise is unapologetically ridiculous, and that's precisely where its charm lies. It's a no-holds-barred experience packed with gags, hot women, sexual innuendo, and hilariously over-the-top special effects. What's refreshing is that despite the film's absurdity, it avoids the pitfall of excessive dialogue that drags down many indie horrors. At a brisk 60 minutes, Babezilla keeps the pace sharp and the laughs coming without any filler.
On a technical level, Babezilla doesn't disappoint. The lighting is well-managed, allowing viewers to clearly see the action unfold. The dialogue is crisp and the audio levels are well-balanced-elements that can make or break a low-budget indie film. Thankfully, Babezilla handles these aspects with competence, ensuring that the focus remains on the fun rather than technical flaws.
Casting is another highlight. Gora Chand Saha as the President is a standout, delivering a performance that's as memorable as it is unexpected. Indie favorite Clint Beaver, who's always a joy to watch, brings his usual charm to the film. Tony Kimball, a big part of HojBob movies on both sides of the camera, also contributes significantly, adding another layer of familiarity and fun.
If you're a fan of irreverent humor, over-the-top gags, and enjoy a good laugh, Babezilla is definitely worth your time. It's a film that doesn't take itself seriously and revels in its own absurdity. Whether you're a teenage boy, a teenage lesbian, or just someone with a taste for unconventional comedy, this movie is a guaranteed good time. My indie horror buddies will find plenty to love in this outrageous masterpiece.
