Awful!!!
I am a huge Gore Hound, and read the reviews on IMDb and got this from netflix. I thought I was gonna see a movie that was so bad that it’s good. I did not get that at all. The gore is so fake. The intestines are obviously pieces of rope because most of time you see them they are bright white. When they rip the girls’ faces off (which is done rather easily I might add) there is a squishing noise that is obviously done with someone’s mouth making the noise. I know this is low budget, but it’s ridiculous that this even got released. You or I could make this film. I watched the interview with Nathan Schiff on the DVD. He said that this was meant to be a satire with a good script and decent acting behind it. However, he wanted John Smihula in it and he was going into the peace corps in two weeks. So, he had to shoot it in 2 weeks and cut most of the ideas he had and just make it a gore film. He wrote the film quickly and had to use people who had never acted before. Here’s an idea Nathan, instead of building the entire movie around John Smihula, why didn’t you get another actor who could do it,which would have given you more time to make the movie you claim you wanted to? So, contrary to what people say this is not a gore hounds delight, unless you like obviously fake effects with dolls in plain view. HG Lewis had better effects in Wizard of Gore in 1967.
They Don’t Cut the Grass Anymore (1985) *
This is only the first film I’ve seen from the collection of Long Island director and exploitation buff Nathan Schiff (I believe it was his third) and I was fairly amused by it, which was his intention for the most part. In that regard, TDCTGA (a fun title, by the way) was occasionally entertaining for me in a humorous way and prevented it from being a BOMB.Of course, it’s 8mm homegrown film-making and extremely crude, too. The acting and dialogue is terrible across the board, and there’s no real story to the gruesome festivities other than two Texas dimwits hacking folks to pieces out in the suburbs — but narrative is not necessarily a requirement for an exploitation flick, as long as it delivers the gory goods. And in that department, Schiff surprised me at times with the realistic-looking execution of some of his splatter sequences, while at other times they were so obviously fake that they lost the desired effect. In any case, it’s always interesting to see independent efforts like this one, and note how the filmmakers try to utilize whatever effects, sets and locations are available to them. Here, a ravaged old house that was about to be torn down is put to good use as the sickening dwelling place of our featured maniacs.
If this had been made 20 years earlier it probably could have played in grindhouse theatres. It’s too bad times have changed. Anyway — I’d think gore hounds could have some laughs with this one if they know what to expect going in. And what not to expect. * out of ****
