| PLOT Willie is your typical guy. He's good with animals. He's good with children. He's good with women. Willie is really good with MEAT! Called by God to cleanse the world, Willie seeks out prostitutes and bad people, and enjoys torturing them mercilessly in his basement before ridding the world of their disgusting filth. As time wears on, so do Willie’s nerves. He tries his best at a normal life by joining a serial killer support group, seeks full time employment, and even talks to the voices in his head. Nothing seems to help Willie, and he ends up taking drastic measures to finally put an end to it all. Its a warm hearted tale about a man and the meaning of life. |

| THE REVIEW This film was a wild one, It is about a crazed man named Willie whom, kills off "sinners" all because God tell him to. "God" tells Willie that he must "cleanse the world of all sinners" After each kill Willie filets and cleans the meat and then prepares it for sale. This is a horror movie that is mixed with a lot of black comedy, the story is pretty good in it's own right but the quality of the film is not 100%. The look of it is sub par, the story is however easy to follow at times. The performance of Eddie Benevich as Willie is the only thing memorable here, the rest of the acting is really bad. The reason I say bad is because found in numerous scenes, the victims can be seen laughing and smiling on camera while getting killed! Who in their right mind would be laughing when getting butchered and made into lunch meat? Now don't tell me "Well Rick, this is low budget" I have saw countless more lower budget films such as Jeff Hayes' "Blood Brothers" for instance with far better acting. As far as the special effects and gore, the blood splatter appeared generic, and often looked like I was watching the same blood splatter effect on every kill.. also the cgi digital effects looked amateurish as for when firing the gun you can tell the spark was digitally added, I know I know....low budget, but it really bothered me, What also bothered me is when Willie was using a chainsaw on the victim the saw wasn't even on it was just sound FX. I know this is a comedy but it isn't going to cut it. I was iffy about what to give this one because there was a little I did like and a lot more I didn't like so, I just went with the instincts. |

FEATURES RATING 3/10 Ok here we get a behind the scenes look at the making of the film with the director Ryan Cavalline, he interviews all of the principal cast members. I'd like to point out that at some time during this he yells out "Fuck Troma!" Now I'm not going to play politician here but.... without Troma Entertainment, Mr. Cavalline most likely wouldn't be here. Troma has owned the indie ranks for almost 30 years, so I don't see what he gets out of saying "Fuck Troma". Also we get a few trailers as well as Cavalline's 1998 original "Dead Body Man" short film. |

IMPRESSION OF THE FILM As, I said previously there is a lot I didn't like about this film and some I did. I would say rent this if you have to. I most certainly would not buy this from Brain Damage films, their price of in the range of $22 is too much for this one. |
