Summary: Fast forward review
Review: Well, it may be kinda silly to review something that any sleaze fan has already seen, but in case you're new and you're wondering, "hey ffr, is there really cool stuff in this thing?", the answer is an emphatic "eh".

It doesn't sound that bad in summary. Let's see, skipping the gore (hand saws, skull straws and a mis-use of the term "head"), we got (1) a naked babe dart board, (2) a vertical rack babe, (3) a electro shock babe, (4) a panties pulled down and whacked with a switch while holding a guillotine cord in her mouth babe and a couple of other abuse scenes that can be snipped before the gore.

But . . . the dart game isn't really graphic, the verti-rack babe is obvioulsy faking it hugely, one of the electric clips falls off and no one notices, and the guy with the switch in the guillotine scene is a really ugly dwarf dude (no offense to dwarves in general of course, we ain't Rush Limburger).

The whole thing is played for laughs, so really forget about it as a sex sleaze film, it isn't really in the genre at all. Is it worth seeing? Sure, it's worth a chuckle or three, and the nudity to total run length (NTRL) factor is high. Just don't expect to extract any juicy clips, that's all. One star sleaze scene rating, in context.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The movie itself is garbage, but I HIGHLY recommend this DVD
Review: The commentary track by Eli "Cabin Fever" Roth is absolutely hilarious. It's by far the most ridiculous piece of pretension I have ever heard. He drones on endlessly about the "genius" of hack filmmaker Joel Reed. From listening to Roth talk, I have learned that this obscure sleazy exploitation film made by porn industry members in the '70s influenced the entire course of American culture. "Boogie Nights" and other '70s-era films are copying the wardrobe. The musical "Stomp" is a large-scale rip-off of a shot where a dwarf plays the cymbals (according to Roth they stole the "choreography," which consists of marching in place while smashing cymbals together). When someone accidentally glances at the camera, Roth says that he's "so confident in his performance that he's not afraid to address the camera." A topless ballet dance is symbolic of the end of the Vietnam War. I am NOT exaggerating, folks; he actually says all this. I've only just scraped the surface of this bozo's pontificating. Listening to his commentary is like listening to a college film student drone on about the genius of people roller-skating down the street with buckets on their heads. I feel very sorry for him if he actually believes what he says here. I hope one day to listen to his commentary on the brilliant masterwork "Manos: The Hands of Fate." I burst out laughing several times while listening to him talk, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror or listening to know-it-alls ramble.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Deer in Headlights
Review: Ok I should have known a few years back when my friend, a guy, told me to watch this. He said I would be amazed in the gore factor, he didn't mention the fact that women running around with nothing on at all.
I began to watch it and just could not turn away. The fact it is mostly for guys, I liked the movie. This is one for those of you who love the odd B flix and gore fest movies.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's somewhat boring, yet somewhat enetertaining
Review: Bloodsucking Freaks is one of those movies that is boring, but it also has some very interesting scenes. It's totally TROMA, though I know that they didn't have anything to do with the production of the film. It's about this fella named Sardu. Sardu runs an underground theater that shows live torture, and it's up to the audience to determine if what they're seeing is real or not. It's old, so the effects are very dated. But there's plenty of nudity and fake looking gore to keep your attention if you like that sort of thing. Something tells me you do though, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this now! Worth a look for TROMA fans, and certainly worth the purchase for fans of hardcore exploitation films.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 'She must dance for me!' ha ha ha!
Review: Maybe the best Exploitation flick outthere! Planty of surprises and very weird! It's not a so bad it's good...it's a so not bad it's good! It will never win any awards but it's damn funny and somethimes hilarous. I hate troma but I like this one very much. If you like Salo 120 days, Caligula or any exploitation movie, you may like this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To Hell with Jesus, this is the Greatest Story Ever Told
Review: Don't listen to any of those negative reviews. Hell, the one guy who gave it one star also gave Shrek four stars, so what's that tell you. Anyways, this is the best movie ever. Don't be fooled into thinking it's a horror movie though. It is a very dark and hysterical satire. If you pay attention to the dialogue, especially Sardu, you will pick up on it. Definetly needs to be watched at least 5 times before the humor and wit hits you. Also has some of the greatest lines ever. If you're semi-retarded yet highly intelligent(???) and you have a sense of humor, buy it. Just be ready to accept Sardu as your lord and master!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What Went Wrong?
Review: I am a huge fan of most Troma video, and after seeing the title, of this movie, I thought again I would be shocked with extreme violence, and fast moving action. Instead I must say this movie was much a disappointment. It had its ups and down, but despite the reviews I read, I just didn't get into it. I suggest a rental before purchasing this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A new low, I am so ashamed...
Review: I am glad to say I only rented this movie. It was a tossup to decide which movie was worse, Blood Sucking Freaks, or Dark Backward. Maybe the fact that I am putting the two in the same category is enough. If you are into hardcore cult movies, and you have seen every other movie that you would ever want to see, RENT this movie. If you have nothing else better to do with your money than buy a movie like this, please, help someone out and give to the needy instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: Me and my buddy watched this movie and we absolutely loved it. We were laughing hysterically and giving each other high-fives so much. We just couldn't get enough of the crazy antics of Sardu and the lovable Ralphus. This movie truly belongs in the Troma library alongside the Toxic Avenger, Redneck Zombies, Cannibal the Musical, and Class of Nuke 'Em High. This movie takes you on a ninety minute thrill ride and the shocking ending will leave you shocked! I guarantee it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Don't normally take the time to do this but.....
Review: This video was recommended by Amazon.com when I purchased "return of the living dead"--- This is one of the campiest-goriest-stupidest-gross movies you will ever enjoy. The acting is so wonderfully bad- the gore is so magiclly executed- the story is so simply sophomoric that I can do no more than recommend it as an one and a half of great laughs---I'm keeping my copy in my library-just to show to my "special" friends.
