Ritchie is a
professional thief and his latest
assignment is to steal a very valuable golden cross...
in Russia. He meets up with two criminal brothers who
will help him and it seems as if everything's running
smoothly... until they enter the elevator. They soon
find themselves stuck at a floor with no exits together
with an insane hostage consisting of a war-veteran,
three religious fanatics, a geek and a business woman.
To make things worse, there's also a deranged serial
killer living on this floor.
Okay this was just a bloody great movie! Literarily.
Horror comedies have a tendency to either be terrific
or be absolutely terrible, and Botched is the best
horror comedy since Severance. It's clever, it's gory,
it's extremely funny and I loved every single second
of it. Stephen Dorff, all is forgiven and forgotten
after "Alone in The Dark". Dorff plays a professional
thief who has just been hired to steal a golden cross
together with two no-good brothers by his side. At
first this seemed like an action-thriller, a good one
at that, but still an action-thriller, but once the
thieves hit the elevator button, all hell breaks loose.
A bunch of people enter the elevator and refuse to
get out and therefore become hostage. The elevator then
hits floor number thirteen and everyone exists thinking
that the guards have stopped the elevator. But that's
not the case at all. They soon find out that there's
a raving madman living on this floor, killing anyone
in his way. The tables have turned and Ritchie soon
has a bunch of maniacal hostages, a deranged psychopath
and two backstabbing brothers to worry about. Man this
movie has everything doesn't it?
Due to all the clever twists and turns in the movie,
we get to root for every single character in here.
We get to seem them at their strongest, at their weakest
and at their goofiest. You can't help but to fall in
love with each and everyone of them. The acting is also
just right for a campy horror comedy like this and
the entire cast comes out on top. I was also surprised
to see how much effort that seemed to have gone into
this movie as every little detail seems to have been
thoroughly thought through.
Nevertheless, Botched isn't a movie for everyone because
while I personally couldn't stop laughing, not everyone
has my sense of humour. But if you liked movies like
Severance and Shaun Of The Dead, you will definitely
get a kick out of this brilliant horror comedy. This
was wickedly funny and insanely gory and delivered
everything one could ask for from a horror comedy.
One of the best movies of the year, so don't miss this
one guys, it's an instant cult classic.
I don't want to spoil too much but we get a head cut
off, peeled of skin, an impalement, a body chopped in
half, a hand chopped off, and a whole lot more. This
was an insane blood-bath.
Brilliant score combining Russian polka with cheesy
80s pop music and some groovy techno beats. I loved it.
An outstanding horror comedy with wits and gore, this
is one DVD that I know I will be wearing out quickly
as I'm an instant fan. This one will go to the history
as one of the best horror comedies ever. I loved every
second of it so be sure to check this one out. It can
all ready be purchased on DVD in Australia and Germany.
