Switchblade Romance is without a doubt the most fuck assed vicious evil nasty bastard piece of slasher heaven I’ve ever witnessed in my 28 and a halfshell years.

Two girls, a country house and a burly guy with mental problems and a chainsaw.

This film rocked the fuck out of crack town - it was outfuckingstandinglycalifragilistic from start to motherfucking finish - I’m not big on cursing for the sake of it - use it to add meaning were relevant - and by Jesus of the fuckmunch ponies is it fucking relevant here - I have never witnessed such sheer out right eyeball terror as I have while watching this movie.

If madmen chasing their kills before doing godforsaken evil Christ on a bike almighty freaky shit is up your street then this film is for you.

The new wave of horror surfed by the likes of Cabin Fever, Saw and it’s predecessor, The Texas remake, House of 1000 corpses, The Devil’s Rejects and the upcoming Hostel and Tarantino & Rodriguez’s Grind-house - they should all be judged before this movie rather than the aged, crusty, splatterhouse efforts of the seventies which, while constantly paid homage to and held in some sort of mystical reverence, are actually looking rather dated and comical in the eyes of today’s audiences.

I watched the original Texas Chainsaw and Dawn of the Dead recently and both don’t hold up too well against what we’ve become accustomed to - sure, they may have kicked things off and inspired many a movie maker - but that doesn’t mean they’ll stand the test of time - Dawn of the Dead’s uncut version is a soulless extended shopping centre commercial, while Texas Chainsaw comes across as a badly acted Benny Hill Skit these days.

This guy, Alexandre Aja, he’s remade Wes Craven’s the Hills Have Eyes? A movie about a family stranded out in the desert attacked a bunch of insane nuclear overspill hillbilly’s? Fucking A that will be a kick-ass ride into the darkness of the soul - he show’s here that he’s got the cojunes to carry off what ever he wants.

All the elements that need to come together for you to be terrified & tansfixed with tension are mixed to maximum effect in this movie - it’s not just the claret drenched gruesomeness blood curdling brutality - it’s the eyeball wide fear, knuckle whitening knife edge moments and eerie ominous soundtrack - it may not be original, but it sure as hell works when it’s all pulled off with perfection.

It’s a flat out fucking psychotic film of Tyrannosaurial proportions.

You seem to be very master and your data about this post is superb. Should you continue your exploring? I have to purchase the thesis abstract or just dissertation writing from you.
