Damn, painfully dissapointed with this one,not nearly enough bum melting
I LOVE cheesy, low class, B level(if not lower) 80s junk(mainly horror), i knew this was going to be a sleazy and schlocky low budgeter going in, and i still despise this garbage.
I guess maybe my expectations were misplaced. I expected a LOT more awesome, grotesque bum melting. The movie hardly contains ANY of that stuff. I can understand if there were budget constraints so they couldn't show a lot of it, but it's far worse then that, the plot itself hardly ever seems to even involve it. The overwhelming majority of the movie is dimwitted hobo hijinks and absurdly crude sex scenes, which while mildly amusing, def isn't enough to carry a flick or make it the least bit worthwhile. The movie feels more like a pisspoor, failed hobo sex/shock comedy then a movie about bums being melted by toxic booze.
That said, i did enjoy the dick tossing scene. It's impossible not to appreciate the level of absurdity, it just comes out of nowhere too. And he hitches a ride by grabbing on the back of a schoolbus, severed unit in hand, presumably to make it to the hospital. So outlandish, so over the top and out of left field. Hilarious.
Unfortunately though, the bulk of the movie never hits the target for me. The above successfull shock comedy is a rare occurrence. The painfully unfunny level of humor of a hobo stuffing various meats into his pants and then launching into an angry tirade in a grocery store in a painfully overlong, dull, irritating scene is the norm.
Of course when the movie actually did bother to show some Viper guzzlin, it was exactly what any lover of gooey 80s horror/gore could want. Delightfully nasty effects. I NEEDED far more of it though.
