  I am a HUGE horror fanatic, from mainstream Hollywood movies, to big budget indie flicks to B and even C movies, and I will give any horror movie under the sun a try, so if you're a big horror fan too,you can imagine I've seen some pretty bad movies. That being said, this is probably the WORST movie I have EVER seen. Five minutes into it, I knew it was going to be bad, but I gave it a chance hoping maybe the comedy aspect or the FX would redeem it. Not only was it not even funny, but the (I admit) pretty good make-up and gore FX were limited to the last 20 minutes, and they certainly weren't good enough to make the rest of the movie worth watching. The acting was bad, there was barely a followable plot, and the worst part about everything is I think the makers of this movie really, truly tried to make a good movie. Avoid it, it's not even worthy of the 7-hundred something MB of space it took up on my hard drive. If you really, really, want to see this movie, fast-forward it through the first hour, and then it might be worth a 1-star rating. The only reason it got 1 from me is because I can't give it negative stars.

  Im starting to think that i don't want to see "Karl Vs Axe" the part 4 of the Violent Sh+t saga. Well, i will watch it because I'm a big fan of part 3 and i think that part 2 is very entertaining. But, since 1999s Violent Sh+t part 3, Andreas Schnaas is only making bad and disappointing movies. Previous Schnaass movie was the horrible and unfunny horror-comedy "Dont wake the dead", now he makes a very similar movie. An unfunny horror-comedy. There are some good gore fx at the ending but nothing more, this movie is hard to watch, its impossible to watch without Fast forwarding. Its boring as hell. Timo Rose co-directs, he is a more talented director than Schnaass but this movie is just awful. The plot? a wannabe movie maker who jerks-off to a picture of Andreas Schnaas wants to make a movie with a group of chicks, then a book appears in the house(like an evil dead homage) and a group of monsters, including Karl the butcher from Violent Sh+it appears. Hardly watchable. 2/10

  There is nothing good to say about this film. The people making it didn't care one jot about it so why should the people watching it? When you cast people like Eileen Daly you're telling the audience that you don't care before you even shoot a frame. There is no script, no drama, no comedy, very little gore and no point to the whole sorry endeavour. While watching this monstrosity it was obvious that it was written (or improvised) by lazy, talentless people who simply couldn't be bothered to raise a single minute of it above the bottom of the barrel. At one point we are told that Eleanor James is " the next big thing in Hollywood" (!) yet she goes to a dingy shack in the woods- carrying her own suitcase and the "camera equipment"- for a clearly retarded director with a high street camcorder and no script. Yeah right, up- and- coming Hollywood stars do that all the time. I think that's how Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johannsen and Olivia Wilde started. Oh I've just thought of a positive, it makes a satisfying thunk when it hits the bottom of the trash can. Pathetic.

  With the joining of two great German horror legends - Andreas Schnaas and Timo Rose - you would expect the greatest film ever. However, what you do get is a movie that is just okay. And a movie where the only gore is in the last 10 minutes. And a musical number by Karl the Butcher - but that's a good thing. However, the first hour of the movie is kind of boring. Considering what the movie is, you know the fans just want gore, and it doesn't deliver till the very end. It just isn't well made or that entertaining. See it - but don't expect too much. However, Karl the Butcher vs. Axe was a definite improvement over this, and I know that these two will make many good films to come. Well, good if you like this type of thing.

• just watch the last 25 minutes

  Rose and Schnaas, that could have been a perfect match to make some gory flick. Sadly, it didn't work out that way. What they tried to make is a hot comedy but it failed on all ways. I never had a laugh on my face and the acting was especially from Rose as wooden as it can be. It's sad that it has to go that way because they had some famous British names of the genre in it. Eileen Daly from Razor Blade Smile for example. But I must say that the best acting was for Eleanor James, somehow I like her way of acting, I have seen her before in other flicks and always I notice her in some kind of way. The gore that you suspect only comes in at 50 minutes and it's way too late. But when it comes it is indeed very messy but not to say that it would be something for the gorehounds. Another thing that I would mention is the strip act of porn star Vivian Schmitt, what that had to do with the movie, well, nothing, pure gratuitous. And talking about nudity, almost all girls show their juggs and Eleanor's ones get all the red stuff all over her. So it's a kind of boring flick, just watch the last 25 minutes and look out for Karl from Violent Sh*t. Unrated, don't know why...
