    fun!

    this was a great movie, for being so short of a movie! i've seen this one 2 or 3 times and it doesn't get old. for the budget that this movie looks like it had, it was excellent. my favorite character was the preacher, with his obnoxious southern preaching and his dancing for the lord, haha. i just wish all troma movies were like this one (if only sgt kabuki man was as short as this one, it would have probably been good). highly recommended and it doesn't even take long to watch.

    Very inventive.

    I saw this at Best Buy the other day and I figured that this is probably another one of those movies "that are so dumb, they're good". Yeah, I was right. Made a budget of what looks to be about 10 dollars, BUTTCRACK is one of the best indie flicks I have ever has the misfortune of seeing.

    Director Jim Larsen didn't even have to pay his 'actors' in this movie. Some supposed musician, Mojo Nixon (I have no clue who he is) also stars in this movie as a crazy preacher.

    Simply put, this is one of the best zombie/horror/comedy/voodoo films I have ever seen. The camera work is not all that bad and the sound is actually pretty good for a film such as this. I was expecting for the movie to have terrible cinematography and sound editing. It's a good thing I was wrong.

    You should see this movie. It's wildly cool. BUTTCRACK: 5/5.

    Actually kind of original, if you think about it

    So, a movie about a killer ass, huh? Well, I'd be lying if I said that's the stupidest idea I've ever heard for a low-budget horror movie. Come to find out, there are much... much worse stories out there, maybe not quite so random, amateurish, and not well thought out But really, what can I say, other than, at least it wasn't shot on video.

    Meet portly Wade, an over-weight, curly-haired, annoying, clueless reject of a human, who spends most of his time playing Atari (nice touch) and by most, I mean 100 %. Wade lives with his so-called friend, Brian, Brian despises Wade for his rudeness, for his body odor, for the way he always barges in on him and his girlfriend, for his inability to realize his voice is stupid, but mostly, because this waste of space doesn't have the damn common courtesy to pull his pants up now and then. It almost makes him mad enough to throw a (plugged in) stereo in the tub when Wade finally decides to take a bath, and by almost I mean Wade is now dead from electrocution, serves him right for being such a thoughtless oaf. What Brian doesn't know is that Wade's sister is into voodoo, and somehow she knows exactly what went down. Hell bent on revenge, sister Wade puts a curse on... her dead brother, I guess. Portly Wade is now resurrected as a zombie, although, he thinks he's still alive, and really doesn't mean any harm, the mere sight of his crack kills. Jeepers, what an awesome idea for a movie!!

    Good God!! What would possess someone to come up with a story like this? I'll just assume this movie was made with the desperate hope of being picked up by Troma, well, congratulations gang, your wish came true, and I'm sure they're as proud as they can be. Personally, I would have liked it better if it remained a "roommate from Hell" comedy, and things had continued till Brian blew his own brains out right before the credits, but that's just me. Perhaps I've been a bit too hard on this movie, it has style, and a really enthusiastic feel to it, and a catchy little score, and it has decency to not wear out its welcome at 68 minutes. I recommend Buttcrack mainly because if you have any sense of humor at all, chances are good, it'll make you laugh, and ultimately, that's all that matters. Yay for Buttcrack. 7/10

    What can I say...

    What can I say? I loved this movie! I can see where it wouldn't be for everybody, but it was for me. I don't know when I've laughed so hard at things so dumb, but this movie has plenty of dumb funny scenes. A particular favorite is the ride in the car when Wade swears Ken is gay. I totally love it. Yeah sure, it's low budget, no big stars, Troma, sub par acting, but come on! Isn't that also what makes it great? Does every movie have to be academy award worthy before it is "good?" The badness of this movie is what is good about it. The fact that a movie like this even got made is a good F*** to Hollywood and all its hype. I hope there will be a part 2.

    I wish it let me give it 0 stars...

    This movie was awful, even by troma standards, luckily I like Mojo Nixon enough to sit through the whole thing. There was absolutely nothing funny about it, usually troma keeps me entertained with a good laugh or two, but this movie sucked. Sorry, I like troma, but there was no excuse for this pile of garbage. I felt like it was just a bunch of inside jokes from the actors and crew made into a movie. Great, I'm glad all 14 people on the staff were entertained, cause the rest of us though it was stupid. Buttcrack 12 times in one breath? Churn the Milk and Make it butter? The annoying ramblings of Preacher Man Bob? (sorry mojo) As an amateur filmmaker/screenwriter, I am usually excited for low budget movies and non-Hollywood talent, but there was nothing in this worth watching, besides maybe the Mojo Nixon Extras. It was all just poor writing, poor film making, and jokes that weren't funny.

    Good Job Larsen, no talent whatsoever.
