A couple weeks ago I ran into the director of Gorgasm. Now when I met him all I knew was that he was a local film director from the New Orleans area. We talked movies, and I mentioned how I really didn’t like the trend of low budget film makers using comedy as a crutch because they couldn’t afford, or didn’t have, the talent to make a serious horror film. “So what kind of films do you make?” I asked. Yep, horror comedies. OK, I still hate directors who make comedies as a crutch, just like I hate those low budget “found footage” films a way to make a cheap film with little talent. This doesn’t apply to Goregasm though. Why? Because it’s funny as hell, that’s why.
The rules get thrown out when a movie is good, and Goregasm is good. Now when I say it’s good, it’s not going to win an Oscar. Not unless the voters are smoking some good stuff, Ok, not even then. Goregasm is a film that you really need a taste for the extreme to enjoy. If you are a fan of Ryan Nicholson and Plotdigger films, there is a good chance you will like Goregasm. This is an exploitation film that puts most exploitation films to shame. It is a film that would fit in at drive in theaters, the stuff I dreamed about seeing as a kid. However where most of those sleazy drive in films seemed more bark than bite, Goregasm delivers.
Imagine victims being beat to death with a giant rubber dildo by the villain, known as the “cock faced killer” for reasons that are very apparent. That’s probably the nicest thing that happens in Goregasm. There’s enough poop to make Martin Lomax giggle. But where the poo eating in The Human Centipede is mostly left to your imagination, here it’s on full display. The poop scene is the one thing that made me almost turn it off, as I am NOT a fan of scat films.
That’s just one of many, many perversions on display in Goregasm. There is more ass rape in this film than in Stephen Geoffrey’s summer vacation. Besides the cock faced killer, there is also CLAM, an all female gang (whose leader has a beard), Detective Deppshett (who has a fondness for Sylvester Stallone that’s only slightly less creepy than his fondness for feces,) and oh yes sex. Lots of sex, and a lot of it is real.
Goregasm has something in it for everyone, and more than likely something in it will make you wince, gag, or turn away. But if you can handle even 80% of this movie, it’s worth it. While the
low budget does show at times, the film makers have heart, and you can tell they enjoy what they are doing. If you can stand the extreme it will make you laugh.
Another plus is the female cast. The ladies in Goregasm were much more attractive than you would expect to find in a film of this budget and genre. The fact that most of them get naked, and some are really doing the nasty doesn’t hurt. Some people will point and yell “PORN” at the mention of real sex, and this film probably isn’t for them. But honestly most people who would be totally turned off to this film due to the sex, would hate it for a dozen other reasons as well.
I dug Goregasm, but then I also really enjoyed Hanger by Ryan Nicholson. It’s an acquired taste and it isn’t for everyone, but if you can stomach it, give Goregasm a look.
