La Petite Mort (Review)
Tim Wambolt Reviews the New Marcel Walz Gorefest
Imagine a film similar to "Hostel", but made in Germany by the true masters of splatter, from the director of Tortura, the special effects master of Dard Divorce and presented by the director of Torched. Happy New Year!
Last year director Marcel Walz made a movie called "Tortura" featuring a group of psychopaths with a sadistic blood lust. They snip off a man's fingers, cut off his nipple, saw off his foot, wrap him in plastic and leave him to bleed to death in an alley. After that they abduct three girls, ripping out the first girl's tongue and forcing her to slit her own throat while they disembowel her. Then they peel the skin off of the second girl's arm and rip out her eyeball. Then, they force the third girl to stab the second girl to death. It was a very violent movie! And now with "La Petite Mort", director Marcel Walz takes torture to new heights with help from the master of gore himself, Olaf Ittenbach!
In La Petite Mort, three friends, Simon, Nina and Dodo are traveling to the beautiful city of Mallorca in Spain for their summer vacation. Along the way, their flight gets delayed in Frankfurt Germany where they end up getting mugged. Depressed, they stop in for a drink at the "Maison de la petit mort," (meaning house of the Little Death, a metaphor for a sexual orgasm). A torture-for-profit place of buisness run by Lady Boss Madame Fabienne (played by the talanted actress Manoush) who, along with her two crazy daughters, inflict acts of terror too unspeakable to mention by any decent human being with morals. That being said, I shall now mention some examples.
To start things off, one of the victims is silenced with a mouse trap on the tongue while another victim is getting stabbed in the arm with hundreds of needles. After that, Olaf Ittenbach kicks the gore factor into high gear as we witness a man getting his eyeball stabbed and cut out with a knife. Luckily for him now he won't have to witness his manhood being taken away as the killers graphically cut his penis in half and rip out his intestines!
And if that wasn't enough for you, another victim gets brutally scalped until her brains are exposed like a Hannibal Lector lobotomy,leaving her alive just long enough to scream one last time before her throat is sliced open!
Next on the menu, a woman's arm is shoved into a meat grinder, and she is forced to drink her own blood while her hand is being mangled into a mess of bloody ground beef. Meanwhile, another victim is beaten repeatedly with a hammer until brain matter is falling out of the victim's skull, similar to the bludgeoning in "Seed" but minus the CGI.
Without giving anything else away, La Petite Mort, needless to say is a must own for gorehounds and fans of Olaf Ittenbach's special effects! Presented by Ryan Nicholson, filmed in high definition on a handheld camera in widescreen letterbox format and color corrected in a cinematic green tint, La Petite Mort adds a professional motion picture look to the underground gore scene. My screener came boxed and signed by Manoush herself! If you thought Tortura was very violent movie you may (or may not) be happy to know that Marcel Walz outdid himself with La Peite Mort! I can't wait to see what kind of sick, depraved filth he comes up with next!
