NURSE
Pseudo art/trash bollocks that fails to engage on any particular level unless you have never seen a vagina before. It is a miserable viewing experience as it is easy to see what the writers and director are aiming for but they fall short in delivering the goods. Yes, there is a lot of nudity but it is neither erotic or exploitative though the story and art direction offer the opportunity for it to be both. The last twenty minutes almost redeem the film in a welter of violence and shitty looking CGI gore before it falls back into be what it really is at heart a shoddy "Fatal Attraction" rip off for those not manly (or womanly) enough to seek out true trash or art erotica.
MUCK
This is more like it, utter shite lacking any real motivation other than to show as many close ups of a woman's arse as she gets covered in mud and blood. There is a plot in there somewhere amongst the casual racism, sexism and arses. In fact, if you like arses and American regional slashers where people talk endlessly to pad the running time between walking in woods or in and out of rooms, then it's a winner. I liked it. Apparently it is the second part of a trilogy with the first and third parts yet to be made!
WE ARE STILL HERE
Loving homage to Fulci, particularly "House by the Cemetery" and "The Beyond" which is very much it's own film. The build up to the blood and gore final is slow and engaging with characters drinking lots of B&J rather than J&B whiskey before the bloodbath begins! Recommended.
