| | Johnno - Rookie cop, he has some affections for waterfowl.
| | Shaan - In charge of the Vimuville heath spa, her head collapses.
| | The Nobles - Family, dad has this horrid jogging suit (he turns into snot), mom's tongue chokes her, the son dies rollerblading, and daughter is left for the asylum.
| | Sal and Gino - Two young lads out to get laid, both fall prey to a random family of genetic freaks.
| | The Rands - Family expecting their first baby, she has some problems and her placenta attacks him.
| | Paul Matthews - Bachelor, not very hard to see why.
| | Dr. Carrera - Developer of Vimuville's amazing vitamins.

| This movie is just plain ODD!
Vimuville is a drug company experimenting with new vitamins. Unfortunately, for the unknowing people experimented on, they do not work quite right. Prepare to see body organs and an esophagus more times than you might like - along with some dude gulping dishwashing liquid. There is also a group of freaks who are thrown in for no apparent reason other than to eat Sal and Gino. (They also kill a Kangaroo and eat the adrenal gland from it.)
Sam and Johnno finally pinpoint Vimuville for the disgusting meltdowns but not until every innocent bystander (except the Rands daughter) meets their end. Add to all this a techno soundtrack befitting a Tracy Lords' film and you're dealing with pure genius.
I really liked this movie. It was offbeat and kept me interested the entire time. |
|
| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
| Australia looks just like Texas, but with alot of British-descended people.
| | Don't drink dishwashing detergent and drive.
| | Punk rocker chicks and bag ladies are not, repeat not, attractive.
| | Every movie needs a three-legged dog.
| | There are darn few normal people in Australia.
| | Inbreds eat people.
| | A woman's placenta is fully capable of self-locomotion and will harbor resentment against the father.
| | Snot is also mobile.
| | Masturbation may cause spontaneous penis explosion.
| | You can never get enough footage of an esophagus, Hollywood take note... ...Schindler's List, great movie but no esophagus.

| Shaan's condition has become advanced; when the young Noble girl smacks her things take a turn for the worse. Okay, so Shaan's head collapses. That does not mean she is less attractive than before.

I read the review of Body Melt right here at Bad Movies, so I rushed out to find a copy. Being in the UK (and having to put up with deleted films left right and centre)I located one and spent quite a lot of dosh on it. Nevertheles, I put it on, surrounded by a few mates, telling them it's supposed to be really gory ... and ...?
WHAT A PILE OF SHIT! I couldn't believe my eyes - NOTHING happens for the first 80 mins, and just as it starts picking up - it ends! Oh my God! Okay, I'll let you off - the effects were shite, so was the acting, and Harold Bishop from NEIGHBOURS says 'f**k!'. Worth seeing ONLY for that. However, you do only look at bad movies, and by my standards Body melt was Bad bad BADDDD!

Ah, yes. Nobody makes crap horror movies like Australians (anyone seen Houseboat Horror?). Probably the most frightening part of this film is that most of the cast should have known better. A number of them either are themselves, have since become, or are related to fairly well respected actors. Surprisingly, Lisa McCune (Mrs Rand) has this film on her bio to this day, despite the fact that she has some REALLY big things on there otherwise, including a couple of Gold Logies (Ooooh! Aaaah!) for an ongoing role in an Australian drama series.
I really think, though, that I could have vomited a better treatment for this film.
It's worth noting the prominence of one name in the opening credits. Screenwriter, producer, music editor.....

This was worth it for the moment when that little shit from "Neighbours" went SPLAT on the half-pipe when skateboarding. Lost opportunity, too.I wanted to see a Daddo die horribly and nastily on screen.

I liked the movie. Its not about horror with this movie. This movie has a deeper purpose. It describes the effects of taking spa drugs.
the end

This movie is perhaps thefunniest ive seen. Harold Bishop swearing was worth watching alone. The weird inbred family had me in stiches, and what was with that really big bloke and his very high pitched voice? Shear brilliant and undoubtedly ORIGINAL!!
