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.

Hi everyone,
I played the role of Beauville's voice in BODY MELT. I'm the high pitched voice of the steriod Mr. Universe Character Beauville. "I've stored the Noble's urine samples...um, can me and Beau, have some more v's"..... and "those V2's they're p**s weak!"...."Just what the Doctor ordered!"..... That's not my normal voice, I was directed to speak high to show the effects of too much performance inhancing drugs! :-)
Thanks to everyone who made an effort and watched the movie and a special thank you for everyone here who commented on the film! good or bad
The movie has actually won several awards, (imdb.com) despite not doing well at the box office or on dvd-video release. I saw it at the premiere in StKilda, Melbourne, Australia in 93 or 94 I think from memory and it was met with thunderous laughter, I never saw or heard of it again after that. Thanks to Curt who said he thought the Mr. Universe character with the high pitched voice was pretty cool and original-cheers! It was hard to get the mouth-lip syncing right but other than that, a lot of fun. Thanks to the people who really hated the movie also! I have been in another Australian Movie called Horseplay which has been hailed as even a worse movie than Bodymelt! lasting just 2 weeks at the cinema-box office before going to DVD. I thought Horseplay was really really good but there you go, you guys are the boss of that. You can read reviews about Body Melt and Horseplay and all other "bad" movies at efilmcritic.com
Once again all the best to everyone and thanks for the feedback.
DEAN MEASOR.
P.S. I was also in Neighbours and it is indeed worth watching Mr Smith swere in Body Melt if you don't get it for anything else......
