Reviewed: Netflix Streaming
From
the minds of the folks over at Low Budget Pictures, Filthy McNasty is
officially described as such:
"Filthy
McNasty is the outlandish tale of two nerdy chicks whose greatest wish comes
true when a horny demon named Phil turns them into sexy sirens. But there’s a
price to pay for granting their wish a price that’s paid in blood (and other
unmentionable bodily fluids)!"
Written and directed by Chris Seaver, who also appears as an
actor in the film as well, Filthy McNasty is a movie that knows its place made
by folks that are obviously very aware of what they are doing and how they are
doing it. And what are they
doing? Making bottom of the barrel
movies with almost no budget for fans of the genre that get the joke. It’s obviously all
about fun, and that
is its one saving grace.
Fun.
To
approach viewing a film like this as if it were a straight horror film would be
a catastrophic mistake by the potential viewer. It is imperative to view the work of Low Budget Pictures as a combination of horror and comedy with a healthy dash
of self-knowing
parody to make the formula complete.
It is also imperative to be aware that an open mind
will be of service. Those without an open mind and sick
sense of humor definitely need not apply.
Those horror elitists looking for big budgets and top-flight
writing/directing/production need not apply either.
The
acting is mostly poor, but knowingly so.
One interesting tidbit is that Scream Queen Debbie
Rochon plays one of
the lead roles in this film, and it’s always nice to see Debbie. She is one of my favorites,
and
probably one of the favorites of any self respecting “B” or below grade movie aficionado. And of course, what Low Budget
Production would be complete without an appearance by Teen Ape. Still, if you are looking
for quality
acting, you won’t be finding it here.
Having said that, it is not the worst you can find
either, as I’ve found
out to my detriment.
So
is it a good time or not?
I had a
great time watching this film.
It
isn’t going to be for everyone, but for those in the know, it will definitely
be good fun. It really has several
things going for it. First off, it’s
funny. Yea, its crude and rude and
raunchy, but its still is just pee-your-pants funny as well. Secondly, Debbie Rochon. I’d pretty much watch her in anything. Thirdly, the comedy/horror/parody
angle
really works for me. So, my final
word to you on it would be this, if you aren’t easily offended, if you enjoy
low, low budget horror films, and you like a bit of comedy and parody thrown
into the mix, then see this film, you’ll have a great time with it, especially
if you have a group of friends that share your love of this genre, and enough
beer to stagger a wild elephant.
This is how it all breaks down:
Gratuitous
Nudity: Nice amount of tits and
ass.
Graphic
Violence: The violence is early
and often, though the effects are uneven.
Story/Plot: The plot is very, very been done, but
the writing is good in a hilariously fucked up way.
Acting:
Not good, but Debbie is a bonus for any
film.
