I know everyone has a soft spot for ultra cheese, especially when the cheese delivers the gross-eries. In this case the gross-eries involve splatter up the wazzo, and I mean lots of the red stuff. The only the deal with this ultra low presentation is the out of date subject. Honestly, I don’t go to college or University but do they actually still have initiations? Do people still subject themselves to pointless circles of macho retard ness. In Butchered, they still do……….
A few of the local freshman’s are wanting to get in with the popular delta pi gamma crowd. So 2 of the hot leaders of the group take them under their wing and put them through a rigorous humiliation process. Spankings, choco sauce down the bra and so on. The mother of all initiations will be to go to most haunted house around, the infamous Gassago’s house. Someone is lurking behind the walls and crying in despair. Is it a ghost? Someone left behind? A little girl? The funny thing is there is a night security post stationed in the house for some reason other than a good set up for a savage kill. No need to secure these premises other than the fact that the house is so notorious. Anyways, he goes down in a grisly fashion, side of his face comes right off. Now the sorority girls, along with the freshman’s are on their way to the house for the big surprise. Along with them are the sorority girls dumb ass boyfriends which would come out of an early 80’s college film. Manly and fruity. Their in and the fun begins. Stories unravel and bodies pile up and ways you can only imagine. Literally. Gore and guts are a floppin’. A veritable haunted house full of corners and hiding spots for righteous slashings, almost looks like they are in a make shift walk through haunted house ride at a carnival. Then a twist, ahhhhhhhhh no. I’m not elaborating. That is for you to find out.
Tom Desimone’s Hell Night and Larry Stewarts The Initiation are prime examples of where this flick comes from with the ghost face killer of Todd Sheets Catacomb and George Romero‘s Bruiser. A routine story for a bloody set up. It all goes wrong in the end, just right for a bunch of ding bat kids wanting to pull off some pranks. Gore is a plenty. Think of Scott Spiegel’s The Intruder aka The Final Checkout in terms of gigantic blood spraying using an enormous butcher knife. Stick it in and splatter 20 gallons from the guts for good times. The way it should be done in a comical gore cheese fest done by the director Joe Castro. The camera work is sometimes a little shaky but it is soon overlooked when the fingers and heads come flying off.
Written by Eric Spudic, a hard working underground specialist with films ranging from AQUANOIDS, PSYCHO SANTA, CREEPIES, DEAD CLOWNS, and BIKINI CHAINGANG. Writing the script in a week, this team brought forth some pretty energetic horror. Good times, very good times.
