Germán Magariños
Argentinian maker of pocket-change, splatter, home-made movies under the banner of Gorevision films. Typically, he creates a backdrop of horror events, then just films a series of cheap action, shock and gore scenes without bothering with much of a plot. The low-budget is not overcome in any way, and this scatter-brained approach to putting together a movie, together with a lack of energy and wit, can only appeal to fans of brainless, home-made, trash cinema.
Another no-budget Argentinian silly gore movie about an alien invasion of Jasons from Friday the 13th who chop up the locals and battle it out with a group of b-movie makers. Features scenes such as an actor in a monkey suit being raped by a rival production company, an irate 'artsy' cinematographer threatening murder with a fake gun, and abuse of a plastic baby doll with a big penis. Self-referential, with many references to other movies, and boasting a budget of pocket-change and the cheapest supermarket gore you can imagine, this movie knows how bad it is and makes fun of this fact but the laughs are scarce.
What the hell was that? Let's see if I can describe this properly: A Russian leader of a Satanic cult is creating a super-race of beings emerging from the basement of a video rental store where all visitors get turned into creatures of evil such as werewolves, zombies, ghouls and punks, until Santo the Mexican wrestler comes to save the world. Somewhere in this mess, the movie squeezes in Nazis and Zionist Samurai (cue a ripoff Samurai scene with Jewish music in the background). Don't let the plot fool you though, this is a home-movie filmed in a living room and basement, featuring random rants and deep-thoughts by the 'Soviet Doctor', and several extremely cheap kill scenes in the basement involving penis chopping, strangling with intestines, and stabbing of a cardboard box (yes, really).
A medium-length movie so terrible in its amateurishness, I don't understand why it doesn't get the lowest ratings possible. The backdrop here is a group of mutants killing civilians in the name of an evil god Dagod, while two individuals fight back. But this is just an excuse to goof around in a home-made movie with the worst acting you can imagine, featuring one terribly cheap fight scene after another. Teenagers wearing masks are 'mutants', a civilian couple consists of two male teenagers in costumes having simulated sex, toy guns shoot using sound effects only, and the evil Dagod is portrayed by showing a distorted eyeball medical procedure while random footage of destruction, killing and lions eating a man are spliced into the movie. The gore is cheap, featuring a drill creating havoc inside oatmeal, plastic beheadings, and something that looks like cow livers pulled out of t-shirts.
This one is so idiotically bad and silly it reminds me of a Chris Seaver movie, only the incoherency is so inconceivable it drifts into Fredric Hobbs territory. It's hard to extract a plot from this one, but it involves a cult of Dr Frankenstein who brings the dead back to life, controls people with his mind and performs experiments on his victims with a goal of dominating the world obviously, some aggressive ex-cop fighters that declare war on him, some metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, and an interview with a demented Dr Uri Geller who worships Nostradamus. Random inserted scenes include some animal-killing footage from shockumentaries, a spine autopsy, a scene of spiritual sacrifice where victims of Frankenstein are either killed or sodomized by the avenger, random psychedelia and kung-fu, and some lame fight scenes involving lots of gratuitous intestines and supernatural powers.
Argentinian low-budget dumb gore movie that tries very hard to shock. A gang of Nazis, racists, weirdo psychopaths in gas masks, and Mengele's daughter, all secretly led by an incumbent politician, manipulate and terrorize the city. One man decides he has had enough, steals a gimp suit from a porn shop and goes on a rampage. The random over-the-top splatter effects are cheap and lame but the makers liked them so much they repeated the same scenes in flashbacks, and the various shocks include raping a retarded man, beating up a Jew and urinating on a black baby. Also features the cheapest motorcycle chase scene with explosions you're likely to see.
Aptly titled, this sequel ups the ante, nastiness and anarchy, but not the wit. The city is now in complete chaos, with several gangs of insane punks terrorizing the streets, and a fascist, anti-semite, racist president in power, with the help of 'Noriega', who has conflicting ambitions of his own. This time there are some crude satirical scenes including 'political discussions' about killing Jews, blacks and homosexuals in order to bring peace, the torture of a punk in a hospital bed on live TV with an encouraging reporter, news reports by Lloyd Kaufman about large octupses impregnating Repulicans and the death of Obama, and so on. But this is all just a backdrop for scenes of violence and sex: The same intestine is used over and over for disemboweling people through their t-shirts, Noriega orally rapes every male in his vicinity leading to a final twist, there are gyrating half-naked women, spanking, lots of gimp masks and fake moustaches, penis chopping, rape with maggot-infested genitalia, and so on. Until Sadomaster appears and starts his own killing spree.
Magariños ups the splatter quota in another incoherent, slapdash of a movie, this one almost entertaining in its terribleness, inspiring Troma to pick it up. Let's see now... there's a bloodthirsty sleazoid of a zombie killer hired by the church to kill the evil zombies. He soon gets fired when his other pastimes are discovered and a doomed replacement is brought in while the zombie killer goes on a spree of random violence and shockingly perverse stunts. Then there's the Hostel ripoff scenes involving people paying for the opportunity to torture. These two randomly put-together elements serve as a backstory for an endless sequence of gore scenes involving the usual lame intestine-pulling that's been done a zillion times already, zombie killings, and torture scenes where people hack, saw, drill, rip, carve and bash their victims who don't seem to be much affected by it all. Also features a priest-zombie coupling.
