Death Factory
The reclusive Brain Damage himself introduces this wicked tale of a closed down factory that is inhabited by the result of a wicked nuclear chemical spill! Local legend has it that as many as 24 employees of the factory were mass murdered by a worker that was horribly affected by the spill. Welcome Gorehounds to the Death Factory. This movie doesn t waste any time at all. Within the first 10 minutes we re treated to a petite hottie s breastesesses, and a few gallons of hemoglobin, when the little hottie and her boyfriend head into an abandoned factory to scope out the scene and get a little nasty, not a shabby way to start a flick. A group of college kids: the wholesome hottie Rachel, Latina gangsta Luisa, overly cautious, and somewhat effeminate Derek, soul girl Leticia, her main man Francis, and the metalhead Troy, are out of class and ready to party, however, when they get to Francis house and find out that his parents, who are supposed to be out of town, have postponed their plans, the kids are stiffed on a party hangout. Luisa comes up with the brilliant idea that they should go party at the abandoned factory on the edge of town. After Troy s story of the factory, the various couples split up for the requisite sessions of fornication. Francis shows Leticia his soul pole , Derek herds Rachel off and we know what s on his mind, but not sure if he ll get it. Troy heads out for some more smokes and beer for Luisa and it looks doubtful that Luisa is even interested in tube steak. On the gore side we get a pretty decent heart removal (pretty realistic and still beating), a few major gushfest s served up chunky style cuz this mutant killer has got a serious appetite for the jugular baby! Numerous face, head, chest and testes reconstructions performed with some VERY nasty finger cutlery (if you re thinking Freddy Krueger you re dead wrong!), a nasty ocular gouge with the aforementioned cutlery, no thanks to the victim s buddyfucking ahem- friends.  The acting was damn good by indie standards, not flawless by any stretch, but impressive nonetheless, there are a few in this cast who ve gone on to do much more, including spots on very big TV shows and movies. It s pretty easy to discern who s going to be seen again in the entertainment biz, and who hasn t been heard from since. The thing I liked most about Death Factory was that the creature/killer was a female. A scantily-clad, albeit horrific killing machine that tears flesh to ribbons like a Cuisinart, and chows chunks of jugular like they were turkey legs. Her appearance is a testament to Ron Karkosa s skills as a makeup artist in that the creature is ugly as hell, yet Tiffany Shepis, the actress who plays the creature is actually quite the babe. Don t believe me? Check her out yourself at her website. A fun watch with a really good twist at the end that does a lot for the storyline, plus the hilarious cameo from schlongmeister Ron Jeremy.
