Mario runs into a girl one day and asks her if she
wants to join him the next day when he's going
diving. She accepts the invitation and brings her
friend along to the island where they're meeting
each other. When Mario's out diving he finds
something, something which will change all of
these three peoples lives forever (which may not
be very long for some of them).
I got this German gore flick in the mail the other
day. The DVD box was big and looked like a book.
The DVD contained a Digital-Version and a 16mm
(though the DVD menu claimed that it was a 16mmm)
version of the film. Now, I didn't see any
differences between the two formats so I went
along with the digital version. The movie opens
with some cheesy rock music and some shots over
some ruins while a voice tells us how people used
to get killed here once. You can already tell
how cheesy this is going to be.
So there are not a lot of things going on here. The
acting is totally abysmal and the subtitles are
ridiculous, I'm just happy that I know German
because according to the subtitles the guy says
"My head swims" when he's about to faint. The
cast (consisting of four persons in total,
seriously we only get to see four people in
this nonsense movie) look as if they've been
picked up at random from the street. With the
possible exception for Mario, the wannabe body-
builder. The directing is truly awful as well
and I hate how Andreas has decided to shoot
some scenes, the angles and ways that the movie
is filmed is truly terrible.
The back of the DVD cover promised us that the
movie would be 11 minutes longer than the
previously released versions. It's even called
a "Director's Cut". Well, I'm guessing that
those 11 minutes solely consist of endless
scenes like when we get to see Mario driving
around in his boat for ages. Sometimes we get
to see a close up of the boat engine, then a
shot of Mario, then some splashing water, then
a shot of the boat and then repeat this pattern
over and over again. Stupid movie which is
only cult due to the fake looking gore.
I thought that it would be gorier actually. All
we get is a fake looking hand breaking scene, some
blood splatter and some intestines ripped out of
ones stomach. Pretty stupid.
The soundtrack is just as bad as the rest of
the movie but I will stay quiet on this part as
it actually made the extremely drawn-out scenes
bearable. So I'll just leave this alone.
Stupid German "gore" flick which doesn't even have
more gore than most slashers do today. I don't
know how this got a sequel or how it got the budget
because it still looks like it had some kind of
budget. If you don't like watching German flicks
due to the fact that they're in German, don't
worry, there are only four characters in this movie
and none of them speak very much, and when they
occasionally do, it's to themselves.
