Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Woodyanders Impotent and unhappy middle-aged James Fhelleps (stiffly played by the hopelessly cardboard Roger Cline) goes murderously around the bend after an automobile accident claims the life of his beloved daughter Heather (the cute Leigh Silver) and turns his naggy wife Alice (bitchy Tamera Noll) into a pathetic grotesquely disfigured cripple. James embarks on a savage killing spree, brutally butchering such low-life scum as hookers and dope pushers so he can reach Heather from the other side. Writer/director Chad Ferrin gleefully wallows in the unsparingly rancid urban filth; he offers a foul catalogue of all-out no-holds-barred offensive depravity that includes incest, pedophilia, defecation, urination, and an especially nasty subplot about sick male nurse Barry A. Carter (a hysterically lewd Timothy Muskatell) sexually abusing the helpless invalid Alice. The unceasingly sordid tone, gritty Hollywood locations, nonstop coarse dialogue, and vile subject matter all add to the grimy feel of this disgusting junk. The acting is really hit or miss: Cline fails to convince as our tormented main character, Wolf Dangler hilariously hams it up as evil dope-dealing pimp Hell, and Eddie Shea contributes a memorably slimy turn as a twisted Catholic priest with an unsavory penchant for young boys. The shoddy make-up f/x leave a good deal to be desired, but both the rough, grainy cinematography by Jason Tosta and Nicholas Loizides and Nich Smith's moody, alternately harsh and melodic score are up to speed. Nice startling twist ending, too. A real trashy hoot.
chaosnbeer Unspeakable is an unusual movie even for Troma , it is completly inept low budget amaturish poorly directed , acted , or written film-making ya know the type of stuff Troma is known for and their sick devoted following (me) loves in their movies...but most Troma movies are so shockingly violent but hillarious and cartoonish at the same time or extremely revolting and dark (Bloodsucking Freaks,Combat Shock) but they too have a sense of dark humor and stomache churning artstic vision. However Unspeakable is a movie that has the poor inept hammy style of direction like Lloyd Kaufman's films and absolutly no humor that was intentional...which makes it kinda hard to get but a fun movie to watch. This movie is very extreme lots of sick degrading filthy stuff that would send Travis Bickle on a rampage again but its all carried out so incredibly inept and amaturish its funny..when it shouldnt be..it should be revolting and disgusting (see the aftermath of the car crash in the beginging and the expression and acting on Roger Cline's face and tell me you didnt laugh)...a very good movie but it's still a little hard to tell whether it was trying to be serious or not...9/10
Leigh True art creates a strong emotional response in the viewer, be it pleasant or unpleasant. In this respect, this film is Art. It is truely unpleasant, in fact it is revolting. Since writer/ director Chad Ferrin openly states that his goal with this film is to shock and offend as much as possible, it must be acknowledged that he has succeeded. When I saw Unspeakable I set out and located Ferrin himself the next day. The man is brilliant and will be as well known as Tarantino once he creates something that appeals to a broader audience. All in all, I really liked this movie, though it's somewhat upsetting.
tromatic1 I have seen many great horror films, but this is perhaps the most disturbing one I have ever seen. It begins with a man surviving a car crash which claims the life of his daughter and leaves his wife in a coma. This apparently causes the man to commit a series of sociopathic murders, guided by the voice of his dead daughter. He commits these murders, in an increasingly confusing fashion, until the final scene. It is in this final scene that everything becomes clear, and we are made to understand his motives. Of all the horror in this movie, nothing is as disturbing as this. This is one of the better movies I've ever seen, but it is not for everybody. Before you go to see it, ask yourself if you want to see something that will truly terrify and perhaps disgust you. The DVD version of this has a number of extra features, including a director's commentary and a short film made by Chad Ferrin. These are both wonderful, but for a Troma DVD it is a bit light on extra features....
