Maskhead (2009)

Two women who own a "modeling" agency with many promises interview people for a film. When they start performing in the film, they get tied up, tortured and killed in various bloody ways. That's it. No acting, no decent sound track. Just gore porn snuff.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity. Explicit sex talk.

This movie is the worst I've seen b/c there was nothing original about it. It was just not good, pornographic, tasteless, and really an uncreative movie. This movie and "The Black Dahlia Haunting" inspired me and my friends to write and direct our own movie to show you guys how to actually make a movie. It's all about the acting guys. The writing has to actually be good and the cinematography can't be all awkward and amateurish like in this movie or The Haunting. Next time let's actually make a good movie alright guys? Stop this mindless stuff or you'll never make it in this business. I feel like the filmmakers just did all this crap in the movie just to get girls to take their clothes off in front of the camera. No this is not art so don't even try to justify it. It's a load of crap. Scott Swan and Fred Vogel are just a bunch of perverted and uncreative filmmakers.

Let me start out by saying that I am a huge fan of ToeTag's movies, especially the August Underground trilogy. Those films actually managed to disturb me a bit, which no other films really have (and trust me I've seen a lot of f'd up stuff). When I first watched Maskhead I was expecting another brutal, disturbing horror but found it terribly boring aside from a few well done torture scenes. The main problem I had with it was that there was really no plot at all; we see the characters interview "actors" then kill them, and that's really it. Even August Underground's Mordum had the whole love triangle thing that got resolved in the end. However, I did remember laughing at a few parts so I watch it again with a friend with the intention of making fun of a low budget schlock-fest.Man was that a great idea. This movie truly is hilarious, and I don't even wanna say unintentionally because I think the filmmakers purposefully included parts to be funny. I mean the whole scene with the cowboy and the gay guy in the bathroom? How can you watch that and not laugh? Speaking of the cowboy, he gets most of the funny lines in this movie like claiming how he is a "professional whistler" and his whole story about taking acid in the slaughterhouse. The whole "shot on film" look makes it even better. Bottom line if you enjoy laughing at low budgets horrors like I do, look no further.

Honestly watching this film I could see how it was made. The guys wanted to top the other films they had done, so they got a cast of actors willing to do softcore porn shots, wrote a flimsy storyline to support the gore and then Google'd several sexual fetishes to make the film even edgier. I will give them props for putting guys through the paces as well as girls. Honestly seeing men in these situations is far more interesting to me and there are so few films that even include them. However, it's still only a couple of scenes. The movie itself (minus the male skin) isn't really worth watching. The effects are passable (especially if you thought August underground was decent)and the acting is about what you'd expect from Toe Tag (which is to say a bunch of foul mouth Southern Good-Ole-Boys and Trailer Park Chicks).There are other and better gore films out there. This one is only for Toe Tag fans. And I think it's pretty clear that any rating over a 4 is from someone who was on set or sleeping with a cast member...
