The Scrotum

It's a very progressive movie. Not many films are willing to show a mans scrotum but this movie is made by a true creative. When someone dies in the movie, they have died. The various qualities of camera used throughout the movie help to build an atmosphere of confusion and dread that you feel in every part of you. As a resident evil fan, this movie was made by a person who had probably played a resident evil game. There was a protagonist. This film also has many actors of various religious backgrounds and genders. But most of you don't care about all that, if you are looking for a film for all the family, Shrek the Halls is alright.

Everything about this film is terrible. The wooden actors, the camera work, the terrible editing, the story.

I can't really credit anything about this. Maybe just read the caption and be slightly amused by it because this really is next level garbage.

Would have been much higher production value if filmed on a cheap phone and edited with free software. Remember this was made in 2019, not 1989.

It seems to fill the time out a bit they just stretched out some bad edit compilations as long as they could in slow motion with dramatic music in order to fill time without having to create additional dialogue or plot

I would give this 0 stars but apparently you can't. 1 seems very generous.

Really not sure why they made it, then thought it was good enough to release.

Surprisingly, there is a plot to this so-called movie. Toxic chemicals mutate testicles into murderous monsters. There you go. Now that you know what it is about, you can save yourself the hour and very few minutes it takes to watch it. Every male character is a short-lived idiot. I'm not even going to start asking all the questions I still have about the monster. Okay, maybe I'll ask a couple. How does a mutated testicle become physically large enough and strong enough to not only kill full-sized adults, but pursue them at top running speed and worse, drag their bodies around? Yes, these critters are quick enough and have the endurance to chase down a van with enough strength left over to kill the driver. I watched this film constantly wondering how bad it could get. The answer is 'Pretty Freaking Bad', and not in the 'so-bad-it's-good' way, either. It's awful to anyone capable of reason, yet for some reason it spawned a sequel. I'll leave that review to someone else.

After shaving his balls in a lake contaminated by radioactive sludge, Tyler (Ryan A. Renfro) is compelled to hack off his knackers, the severed scrotal sac and testicles mutating into monsters that chase after Tyler's girlfriend Lindsay (Kelsey Tweed).

The Scrotum is cheap. Way too cheap to do its absurd premise justice. The special effects are cheap, the acting is amateurish, and the direction and editing are shoddy, with tacky scene transitions and uninspired tinted POV shots for the testicular attack scenes. The continuity also sucks, Lindsay grabbing a chainsaw to fight back against the rampaging genitalia, only for the saw to magically turn into hedge clippers.

There is the possibility that much of the ineptitude is intentional -- the totally inappropriate use of opera music and slow motion for the testicle attack scenes has to be deliberate -- but this doesn't alter the fact that The Scrotum is bollocks.

2/10. A real test(es) of one's patience.

For the sake of science and/or morbid curiosity, I decided to follow Amazon's recommendation and actually watched all 64 minutes of "The Scrotum", including post credits scene. I was expecting a typically knowing cheap horror comedy, but bizarrely it's actually played straight. Or at least as straight as you can, given the fundamentally ludicrous concept. The plot, such as it is, is simply a conveyor belt of badly acted nothing characters who are served up without explanation just so they can be consumed. They take the Jaws principle of "don't show the shark" and lean into it hard (no pun intended). Which to be fair is probably for the best given the nature of the creature. All attempts at character, never mind character development, are terrible. On the plus side, it plays some nice homages to 80's horror such as Evil Dead, and there is one particular scene which was genuinely one of the most nasty and disturbing things I've ever seen on a screen. It also has the single most ridiculous twist/reveal ever commited to film. Not gonna lie, it was pretty terrible, but if you enjoy silly low budget horror it's amusing enough for its short runtime. It even has a sequel, which is baffling. Of course the true horror here is what I have now done to how the Amazon algorithm views me, and what it will recommend next!
