Porn Shoot Massacre
Directed By: Corbin Timbrook 2008
“Seven unlucky adult film stars are about
to switch genres: from porn to gore. Will any of them make it out alive?”
Come on who can resist a tag like
that? This movie is much better than it
has any right to be, I mean really it is.
Of course it has the usual problems associated with low budget film
making, not the greatest actors nor the big dollar fx but this throwback to the
masked psycho/low budget slashers of the 80s does have some style and utilizes
the sets beautifully to create a claustrophobic, sleazy, creepy feel that
carries the film past its faults. The
storyline is pretty simple – there’s a new porn director in town, Donald
Malfini, and he’s offering outlandish amounts of money to the girls to make
films with him. None of them question the cheap, nasty warehouse he’s using for
the film though, nor do they say much about his fake beard and none of them
notice the peeping tom or the discreet security cameras filming their every
move. The title gives it away so it is
no surprise to find out that Malfini is making a “specialist film” shall we
say, as we witness the girls being picked off one by one by a masked killer
known simply as Brute.
With a shitload of hot chicks including
porn starlets Kasey Poteet (aka Diana Prince) and Naomi Cruise and wrestling
chick Shelly Martinez, there’s plenty of eye candy on the screen too. (We wont
mention the dwarf… oops I just did!)
Gorehounds will probably be disappointed as
the majority of the gore is more offscreen than on though the crimson does
flow, the entrails do come out and the brutality though off screen still
manages to leave a nasty taste in your mouth.
Of course, there has to be a twist as Malfini soon discovers when his
crew start feeling the wrath of Brute and we all discover that this film is in
fact a morality tale about greed! And
while I’m not a big fan of the current trend of the bad guy winning and the
hero losing I have to say that the bleak ending in this film suits the story to
a tee. There really is no other way to end it. Like I said at the start of this
review- this movie is much better than it has any right to be. But that’s what
I love about low budget films, the surprise packages.
