“This crowdfunded, swiss made exploitation movie, has almost everything one can hope for; splatter, clichés, memes, movie references and great visuals.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe amount of time and love invested in this movie really shines through. You can feel the filmmakers love for film. I was very impressed by the quality of the costumes, the sets, even the cgi. (Remembering itu0026#39;s a small production without any big companies involved and a budget that was crowdfunded) There are so many references to swiss culture beautifully incorporated.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis might be controversial and is probably more wishful thinking on my part but what I didnu0026#39;t like was that the film is in English. Of course it has to be to be view and enjoyed around the world, but as a swiss I believe swiss german could have made it much more hilarious. And probably also improved the acting. ( I got the feeling that because the non native english speakers had to speak english their acting suffered a little)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting in general varied. Over all it was not great but it also didnu0026#39;t have to be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat I greatly disliked were the scene with the naked maid. (Portrayed by a swiss u0026quot;performance artistu0026quot;). It didnu0026#39;t add anything to the movie and every scene with her in it was like: Naked maid with big fake boobs enters the room – the men around the table start staring and salivating.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn conclusion: definitely worth a watch to not only support independent film makers but also have a fun evening with u0026quot;the boysu0026quot; (or girls) and a few beers.”
