No funny donkey

I brought this home to my kids, and then what? A swastika in Christmas lights. Nazi WW2 stock footage. Real vandalism. "Seig Heil" with a hockey glove?

Then I started to get interested. This movie was not very politically correct and it's also weird as hell. Behind plastic tarps with swastikas spray painted on them are portals to 1958 where Nazi fugitive Max Shreck is torturing and burning small town locals. The interior shots in this movie are in a house decorated with pin-ups from Fangoria magazine. The ghosts who serve Shreck are simply men under white sheets. I must say, the torture devices dreamed up by the writers were quite elaborate. Without giving too much away I'll mention a swastika necklace used as a ninja star and a swastika ceiling fan/lawnmower blade. A lot funnier than a pixilated ogre.

Move over "Splatter Farm", the is the most offensive shot-on-vhs film from the American underground that I've discovered.

Utter Garbage

I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of trash horror and I've seen some truly steaming piles of fecal matter, but my god, this is amongst the most boring, awful films I have ever seen. Nothing happens. If you want to waste an hour and a quater of your time, you would be just as well staring at a brick wall. Other reviwers have said it is offensive- they're correct, its offensively dreadful. There shouldn't even be the option to mark a review for this film for spoilers, because literally nothing happens to spoil. Avoid at all costs, even for trash film lovers.

Goofy and fun!

I saw an abbreviated cut of this that's included on the special edition DVD of Vengeance of the Dead. It's true as Don Adams says that it would work better as a horror movie with a bigger budget, but as it stands it's in the "so bad it's good" category of films. It's got cheesy video effects, gore, wacky killings, shaky acting, the works! Watch it with friends and laugh yer ass off!
