What a mish-mash of insane thoughts must have bounced across the synapses of those who wrote this trash. It has no redeeming qualities and serves as a testament to the debased culture in which we now live. It can only live on in the minds of those who do serious drugs of many colors.
I watched this whole movie and was just disappointed. It seemed kind of funny at first, but it just got boring. Nothing happens, lack of a soundtrack, and it's just overall horrible. Feels like it lasts 9 hours. I hate it. The only reason it even gets a 1 is because it was kind of funny in the beginning. I'll never get that time back.
A female bodybuilder Marianne (Pascal Maetens) gives birth in the gym to a living placenta and decides to raise it as a human, a christian, and a soldier.
The placenta named Luke grows up into a teenager and attends a normal high school where he falls in love with one of his classmates, but when his date does not go as planned Luke finds himself on an emotional downward spiral that leads to a killing spree. I think that Troma are the only people to still make real grindhouse and this Belgium zero budget sleaze-fest is easily one of the weirdest titles Troma has released in recent years. Utterly crazy and not always coherent the film proudly lacks good taste on every level.
And this is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. There's literally no redeeming qualities for this movie. The movie is just depressing, no likeable characters, and it's just weird, and this is coming from someone who loves bad movies like Battlefield Earth and Street Fighter. Avoid this movie.
This is the most insane film ever created plain and simple... there is no functional or objective way to review this film. The closest thing i can compare it to is being on Payote...
I'm not sure what to say honestly I'm rarely at a loss for words... but I'm at a loss for words...
