chunkiefroth This review is composed of a thread I began on the film's board, and kept replying to like a journal entry. I added the spoiler alert, but there is really not that much to spoil. This movie is about a nameless guy who hates genitals, Jesus, and himself. That is the entire story...I'm only 3 minutes into this so far. . .so I can't really attest to the violence yet. However they are delivering nicely on the sh!t angle.Jesus Christ! I'm five minutes in, and all I have seen is blurry handycam footage of a European kid playing with a ball, while the opening credits make some pretty outrageous claims. . . ."What's that, movie? . . . Written and directed you say?" Also, apparently this movie had someone on board who's title is "Special Hi-Wi Technician". As someone who has attended film school, I find it odd that this is the first time I have ever heard of any such crew title. Oh well, at least the sh!t isn't phoned in. . .theyre piling it on thick.. They couldn't possibly keep up this momentum for the duration of the "film". 17 minutes in, and it feels more like six hours. It has become apparent that the violence promised in the title is nothing more than sh!t as well. Though I don't think anyone would check out this "Violent Sh!tters Production" had they titled it "Sh!tty Sh!t". Damn this is going to be a chore to finish. 23 minutes in. I guess this is turning into a real time review of sorts. I heard the camera man laugh a couple of minutes ago. I would be more forgiving if the cinematography were not the worst character in the film. The movie showed a dude slice of a man's penis and jack blood out of the headless wiener, though. Thank you Germany. 42 minutes in, and the film has thrown an amazing curve ball. The cinematography has become worse. Now that the film takes place at night, all I can make out is a blackened space like limbo. Occasionally vehicle head lights can be seen, inter cut with footage of floating heads that have way too much dialog. 45 minutes. The movie is on it's third close up fake crotch mutilation. This time it's lady parts. I'm starting to realize that this is not really a movie, but rather VHS footage of not so special effects. It is really not "about" anything, and has no discernible characters. The August Underground films seem Oscar worthy in comparison. 58 minutes. Christians beware! I just finished watching a pointless, seemingly 3 hour, sequence of the killer disemboweling a crucified Jesus. Before anyone goes and gets excited, this movie is so boring that I began twirling a very sharp knife to keep myself occupied. As luck would have it, the hilt bounced off of my fingertips, and the edge grazed my Macbook screen. Now I have a quarter inch, paper thin, permanent reminder of this movie's epic sh!ttiness. One hour. . . This movie is really starting to f#ck with me. Slow blurry video shot from a moving vehicle, in near darkness has been going on for about five minutes. To make matters worse, the sound track has traded in the amateurish synthesizer for an unknown heavy metal track, with a cock rock singer bellowing "The torture never stops". How fitting for a film that has a good footing in the race for worst movie of all time. Dammit. I still have part 2 and 3 to watch after this. I'm starting to wish that my knife had destroyed my monitor, or at least ended up severing an important vein in my neck or wrist. This movie is about as appealing as eating popcorn out of a homeless man's beard. 1 hour 8 minutes. Apparently human appendages are predominantly composed of clothes stuffed with pig intestines and fake blood. Bones would only be troublesome for the killer and his cardboard cleaver. Also, I couldn't help but notice that with each murder, the amount of liquid latex covered oatmeal on the killer's face increases. I guess that will have to count as character development. . . and story for that matter. The killer started picking at the sores on his face, and pulling out his own intestines (pulling karo covered pig tripe through a hole in his shirt). I can only hope that means the end of the film is coming very soon. 1 hour 13 minutes. It ended. . . .it actually ended. I would rather set my face on fire than recommend this film to my worst enemy. This so called "movie" is just a concoction of week effects strewn together with consumer grade video wipe transitions. "Violent"?. . . no, not really. I don't consider rubbing corn syrup and tripe on someone to be violence, and the film had no tone, seriously. "Sh!t"?. . . Absolutely. This is the first film I have seen where half of the title gives away the entire story. OK, bring on part 2. Can it really be much worse?

Sickcess And yes, to state it clearly, this movie is exactly what the title says. This movie is about K. the butcher shitter, who walks around in the countryside and in the forest killing people, coupled with two scenes I guess showing how his abusive mother made him into a psycho killer. And that pretty much sums it all up.Before I begin the trashing, I want to say that I actually liked this movie, and would recommend it to anyone who can appreciate no-budget splatter, who can look past all the blunders made by Schnaas and appreciate the violence, the effort and all Schnaas' contributions to German low budget gore.Yes, there is a huge amount of gore in this movie, but the fx is so bad (somewhat creative however) that there is no way to take it seriously. Also there is a huge weirdness factor in this film. Like the scene where K. is a child where there is some random demon guy who talks to him while he is locked in the basement, a scene where K. find a crucified Christ in the woods and decides to crawl into his stomach and maybe weirdest of all, a more than three minute scene of just looking through the windshield of a car while driving on a small dirt road in nighttime, while a bad heavy metal song is played in the background. To ad to the weirdness, you would expect there to be some comedy in a film where the name of the lead is K. the butcher shitter. There is none. There is also some weird image filter used sometimes, which makes the image grainy and the framing choppy (I don't know what the effect is called, but the movement looks kind of like a slow stroboscope), which is just plain annoying and serves no purpose whatsoever. Schnaas also clearly knew nothing about editing and camera work since almost every scene has confusing changes in perspective and the cutting is many times abominably bad (remember, this is Schnaas' first movie and he has bettered himself since).So why would I still recommend this film? First of all, is's extremely violent and just for that I think it's worth seeing. If you can look past how bad all the gore looks, there is plenty to spare. You will never get bored, because the violent scenes are extremely frequent throughout the movie. Also, the weirdness doesn't have to be a bad thing. It is actually quite funny. Also, even though he didn't speak one word, I liked K. the butcher shitter, as he is quite freaky. Furthermore Schnaas is a guy who clearly is passionate about what he is doing, and every gore hound should appreciate that. So this is a really bad film, but it's a fun bad film. If, after reading this review, you still feel like seeing it, you will probably like it.

EVOL666 First off - I've HATED the other Schnaas films that I've seen to this point - those being VIOLENT SH!T 3 (aka ZOMBIE DOOM) and ZOMBIE '90. This one pretty much sucks too - but I can see some "heart" in this one, and that makes it somewhat "worthy" in my book.Story-line? Screw that - it's a bunch of scenes of some whacked-out guy randomly killing people in over-the-top gory fashion. Nothing' wrong with that. Some pretty memorable scenes too, though done on an obviously tampon-string budget...Honestly, not many people will actually enjoy this turd. I think that it's another of those films that gore-heads need to see just to say they've seen it. There's tons of cheezy gore mixed in with the insanely disjointed plot (which honestly, I didn't pay that much attention to, as I was too busy drinkin' cheap bourbon and dickin' around on-line to pay attention to...), and some of it works. If nothing else, it seems like a "labor of love" from a bunch of know-nothing kids that were out to make a sick film. That alone does not save this piece of garbage...but I definitely found it more worthwhile than VS3 or ZOMBIE '90, which were straight-putrid (and not in a good way...). The other REALLY bad thing about this, is that for a 70 minute film - it seemed like it lasted for 3 days. I'm glad I didn't put this one in to actually pay a lot of attention to it, or I guarantee I would have fallen asleep and not given it a second look (not that it's going to get a second look anyway). The thing is - is that these "directors" should take their concepts and not try to drag them out to "feature" length. VS would have been much stronger as a 25-minute "short". Anyway - peep this joint if you dig some twisted gore - but only if you REALLY appreciate no-budget films...5/10

bert_i_gordon Violent Sh*t was the first "film" (video) by Andreas Schnass. While it's a terrible movie, it does have some merit, and arguably, some scenes that are almost artistic ( the Jesus scene, which shows Karls inability to become one with Christ, or become good, because all he knows is violence). Or something like that. Or just no......Whatever it is, it's not "anti- religious" like some people have stated. Although, I can see how it could be offensive, but then again, if you are easily offended, what are you doing watching "Violent Sh*t"?It starts out with Karl as a boy killing his abusive mother, but not until after smiling directly into the camera and laughing. We then cut to 20 years later, with Karl escaping from the police and killing various people for the next 57 minutes with a gigantic cleaver he just happens to have had all this time. He mutates with every murder and passes out, having visions and nightmares of his past were he saw the devil as a child. Finally he melts into a pile of goo, and a baby pops out. Right.For a movie with that title, and it being all about the gory effects, one shouldn't really complain. Anyone who picked up a movie called "Violent Sh*t" and was expecting "Casablanca" is at fault. But don't get me wrong, it is a bad movie. There's just nothing holding it together, except for the gore, and nothing is ever explained.As for direction, I guess it's fine. I know that sounds insane, but in a movie that's all about gore, it's perfectly fine. Schnaas is sure to show all the gore in lingering closeups. Because that's what it's all about, the gore. It's not about Karl's emotional states, or any sort of character development. "There's somebody. Now go kill him". That's it. The same goes for acting, the victims scream fine. And Karl is a mongoloid, or something.Now to clear up some myths and misconceptions surrounding the movie. First off, Andreas Schnaas is not Karl the Butcher. Karl was played by an "actor" named Karl Inger, Schnaas played the loudmouth tree cutter who gets cut in half with a tree trimmer.Another is that all "real gore" was used. Real animal blood and organs. This is obviously fake, because animal blood is not Pepto-Bismal, nor is an animals intestines sausage links, which were obviously used during the gutting scene.Violent Sh*t was the first German direct-to-video horror film.Some people state Violent Sh*t was a successful midnight movie and was pulled by the censors. This cant be true, because I doubt a film print of Violent Sh*t was ever made, and video projectors did not exist in 1987. But on this I could be wrong.In the end Violent Sh*t is a bad movie. No doubt about that. However, there is something interesting about it. Perhaps it's the fact that despite being made tongue in cheek, it's still played brutally straight. And that makes it interesting for a few reasons. What were they thinking? Why was this made? Who was this made for? There some of the same questions that surround a movie like "Blood Freak", or "Legend of Blood Mountain" (both wonderfully bad movies). And at least Schnaas wasn't insulting our intelligence, just his.
