Ryan Nicholson  



A special-effects expert who works with mainstream horror movies as well as the August Underground team, and who is now making gory horror films with an especially nasty edge.

Of Some Interest

Live Feed  
A group of people visiting China visit a sleazy, filthy porno entertainment facility and find themselves up against nasty criminals who torture and kill for pleasure. Huge amounts of blood splatter, slicings, decapitations, cannibalism, and a nasty scene with a tube, a snake and a stapler. The characters are annoying, stupid and unbelievable, the acting is bad, the editing is terrible, but the movie somewhat delivers on nasty horror.

Necrophagia: Nightmare Scenerios
See Gore.

Worthless

Gutterballs  
Like Intruder, this sets a slasher movie in an unusual single location (a bowling alley) then revs up the creative splatter. But Nicholson adds other odds and ends as well: Nasty genital slicing gore, bowling balls used graphically in all body orifices, over-the-top kills, a pornographic sex scene, and a start that looks like its going to be a rape/revenge movie with a long nasty rape scene ripped out of The Accused. The fodder for the kills in this case features a range of trashy, extremely annoying people ranging from macho jerks from hell and immature perverts, to bitchy sluts and trailer skanks. Annoying nastiness.

Hanger  
Nicholson's nastiest piece of work yet, with a never ending parade of ugliness, filth, nastiness, splatter and x-rated sleaze. This is a world where everyone is made to look as ugly as possible with skin special effects and prosthetics, and where every character is perverse and violent in extreme ways. A whore, a pimp, a pervert killer, their deformed aborted son, a deformed Asian with a fetish for tampons, a sodomite rapist, and various other characters bash against each other against a backdrop of dirt, mud, trash, and porn. Amidst the scenes, there is an explicit abortion with a coat hanger, explicit deformed gay rape, various head crushing splatter scenes, gory torture, and other niceties. What's funny is that they also released an incomprehensible cut version of this which is the equivalent of taking out all of the sex scenes from a porno movie.

Torched  
Half-length sick movie about a girl who gets raped, captures her rapist, tortures him for weeks with needles, a blowtorch and various medical goodies, then goes insane and starts a splatter rampage. Amateurish extreme sickness.
