Slaughtered Vomit Dolls

This movie is honestly one of the most pretentious movies I've ever seen. It is like an amalgamation of every single pretentious art house film trope ever: the found footage style to make up for the terrible production quality, the random over the top gore and nudity, the religious imagery, the reversed audio, the jumbled editing, the complete lack of any coherent plot or characters, etc. And for defenders of this film who will say, "it's not supposed to make sense; it's supposed to be open to interpretation; you missed the point of the movie," I will say, that doesn't matter. Yes, art is art, anyone can find some meaning in almost anything, but this movie is a jumbled mess. It's repetitive, beyond just the fact that it kinda just cycles between brutal violence and gore, people vomiting, and random abruptly cut, out of context dialogue, it literally reuses so much footage over and over. I swear they probably only recorded about 30 minutes of footage, and just extended it out to 110 minutes by just repeating the footage over and over. This movie gives me the terrible impression that it thinks it's super deep and creative and outside the box, when really it's just edgy for the sake of being edgy. Pushing boundaries and having a lot of nudity and gore isn't inherently pretentious, so long as it is doing those things for the sake of making a point or showing a deeper meaning. But this movie is the opposite of that, it's ridiculously over the top disgusting for the sake of being disgusting and getting attention.

After reviewing some of LV's more recent "movies" I decided to come back and re-visit some of his early pieces, where it all began. Over the years I think he has really censored much of his work, or moved much more towards emitophilia and away from gore. Which I guess is okay? Idk its not like either were super great themes or entertaining movies. Once you've seen one you've still somewhat seen 'em all.

A bit of a disclaimer: this truly is just torture porn... Like in definition if you break the words down. If your looking for that sort of thing its probably something you'll "enjoy" but personally I'm not too into it. The gore is decent, quite over the top in a "silly goofy way" thats hard to appreciate at times. And the gore is also completely lacking any context or meaning. What I mean by this is the film has no plot, to make a movie like this work you often need a reason or point (example: in I Spit on Your Grave we were voting for the MC due to her past with the "ViCtEmS". This movie doesnt really offer any of that.

Something I can appreciate that is a take away from this movie is that LV does later make some advances in his movies. His more recent works (Angela Chapters) stray from pure vomit/gore and introduce a story... or theme. And he really starts "taking advantage" of his actresses past (controverial stuff I wont be diving into). The only downside of this? It still just isn't that good. Other movies do it better.

Marking as no spoilers because there really isnt anything to spoil.

Ameara's actress died in 2017, its interesting to see how she changed through LV's films and in a way these almost act as a descent into the gutters of society. One film at a time, influenced by another who used them to entertain reddit edgelords online and people lost in trauma wondering "Why do I search for these things again?"

Its a 5/10. Its just neutral and idk how to rate it. Idk what scale to put it up against.

What the hell was that mess I just watched??? Well, apparently it was meant to be the sickest, scariest, most disturbing thing ever made. Well, Slaughtered Vomit Dolls is far from any of those, in fact, it was merely a pathetic attempt to shock using vomit-gore. And there wasn't even that much of it, it was mainly some random nudity and a girl talking about her feelings. It was poorly edited, it had no plot whatsoever, the music was appalling and for some reason the director slowed down the voices. That was just irritating.

The gore was fairly well done with some sick effects (including a detailed face-stabbing/eye removal scene) but some were spoiled by ludicrous events. Eg. a girl gets her arm sawed off then she is handed a guitar (WTF????!!!!!????!!!). Really dumb and unintentionally funny. The vomit scenes were fairly nauseating but they were all just them sticking their hands down their throats.

Please, don't waste your life on this movie, it was pointless and boring as *beep*. Just a pathetic attempt to be shocking.

0/5.

This movie does not belong to any genre of films, it shouldn't even be CALLED a movie. It is a one hour and ten minutes long video of people getting slaughtered in extremely gross ways, and people continuously vomiting on each other. The one thing this movie for sure is, is a huge waste of time. Don't ever bother watching it.

The creators clearly lack the talent & resources to make a decent coherent film. SVD reminded me of a p*ss poor, made-the-night before student film. Don't believe any of the hype, DO NOT PAY FOR THIS FILM, go & watch a real movie instead.

Granted, some of the gore was nice, but I would rather just watch a slide show of the prosthetics. This film is a pathetic waste of time, completely devoid of artistic merit; it smacks of bored genre groupies, desperate to make a name for themselves, but lacking the creative chutzpah to dent an already crowded scene.

Trash, in the worst possible way.
